### 3/5 — A problem

*2026-08-22, version 4.5.0*

I like the game but at the recourses download it stops and it doesn’t say anything at 26%

### 3/5 — To many updates

*2026-08-11, version 4.5.0*

So I love the persona games I think they are the best but with this game it’s nothing but download this content then you get past the download and play 10 or 15 minutes of gameplay then it says download this then it’s the same thing over and over again

### 3/5 — Good for mobile

*2026-07-12, version 4.4.0*

This game is fire tho it is a little glitchy and buggy but I don’t expect much from a mobile game but this is still a really good game and the amount of storage it takes is really bad

### 5/5 — CONSOLE PLEASE

*2026-07-11, version 4.4.0*

PLEASE ADD THIS TO CONSOLE.

### 4/5 — Good game

*2026-07-10, version 4.4.0*

Good game W Miku

### 3/5 — about the miku update in particular

*2026-07-09, version 4.4.0*

the rhythm game featured in the miku update is very bad as sometimes tapping a note doesn’t register even if i hit the note. i know the update isn’t staying forever but the fact that the minigame which is probably one of the central focuses in the event is very bad in terms of touch sensitivity annoys me as i really enjoy playing rhythm games most of the time! the absence of “bad” note hits is also kinda weird to me as instead of getting told that hitting it too early is bad i just get told i missed the note entirely even though the reason of it was because i tapped it too early and not because i didn’t tap it.

 overall i think that the minigame needs to have the touch sensitivity fixed as its too finicky and sometimes doesn’t register taps/holds

in terms of the actual game i don’t play it too much as i just don’t think the persona gameplay works well in a game like this though thats just what i think

### 4/5 — Unlucky

*2026-07-06, version 4.4.0*

Got Miku with pitty. The pitty is great but getting to it is terrible

### 5/5 — Mahoragas lemon

*2026-07-03, version 4.4.0*

Ion know, i got miku, 10/10

### 5/5 — Characters

*2026-07-02, version 4.4.0*

Bring back characters like “tempest Riko”, “Justine and Caroline” to balance the game, since Miku has broken the meta with godlike buffs

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2026-07-02, version 4.4.0*

This is the best game in the world

### 5/5 — Got Miku in 2 10-pulls

*2026-07-01, version 4.4.0*

Idk how good the actual game is but I got lucky so I’m happy

### 2/5 — MIKU

*2026-07-01, version 4.4.0*

I PULLED MIKU WHILE IN CALL WITH FRIENDS I WANT MORE MIKUS NOW

### 5/5 — It is an amazing product! Not perfect, but it does its job well.

*2026-06-28, version 4.4.0*

I have been playing this game for a while and I think that it is awesome. It is not to the same quality as major Persona titles, but it does not try to replace, but rather bring a similar experience a new story and game through a familiar environment. I think the gacha is okay, not the same quality as some other games, but most certainly better than genshin impact pulls. My only complaint I could even think about is how some resources can get annoying to obtain. And, how free time between missions confused me for a bit. But I liked it and I will continue playing it, at least until the devs make an offline version when the inevitable happens, or once Persona 4 Revival and Persona 6 drops. Reason being: I took a break from the game for a couple of months playing Metaphor Refantazio, great work from the devs, and I am happy to see what the team is cooking because the Milu collab is fire. Sorry for it being long winded but I just wanted to get my thoughts out.

### 5/5 — MIKUUU

### 1/5 — Female MC

*2026-07-17, version 4.5.0*

Really bummed they don’t have a female MC option..again.

### 1/5 — Disgusting game

*2026-07-03, version 4.4.0*

It is so horrible

### 1/5 — .

*2026-06-26, version 4.4.0*

borderline unplayable, just crashed like 10 times in one fight. events are also very low effort cashgrabs now

### 1/5 — The Miku update was so bad.

*2026-06-26, version 4.4.0*

1 cutscene??? no explanation of why miku is there. no concert? nothing? just a stupid rhythm game we’ve had since the beginning. literally the worst collab ever.

### 1/5 — Horrible Maintenance

*2026-06-25, version 4.4.0*

How is your maintenance 9 hours long for content that exist on other servers, and still have to add 3 extra hours of maintenance because there was somehow a mistake. Worst dev team ever.

### 1/5 — Some Improvements, Some Missteps

*2026-06-16, version 4.0.0*

Tartarus is not a good mode and made me realize what units are not worth pulling for like Yukari. Or the bosses are just hp tanks.

Tycoon remains poorly supported and not updated.

Adding non-Persona characters like Miku is not it.

The Persona fanbase tends to skew antisocial and immature whoch doesn’t help

### 1/5 — Ridiculous

*2026-06-09, version 4.0.0*

According to the support team forced story progression when you don’t have the time to play is acceptable and the game working as intended.

### 1/5 — PT BR?

*2026-06-07*

Cade o português brasileiro????

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2026-06-06, version 4.0.0*

Was my favorite phone game ever until they deleted my account and I was already on the 2nd palace boss battle. So thanks whoever deleted my account and now I refuse to grind again knowing I won’t get the same characters I had unlocked before.

### 1/5 — .

*2026-05-24, version 4.0.0*

the performance is terrible, it’s incredibly slow at times and crashes a lot, cutscenes are missing audio…
go to the velvet room? crashes. go to the metaverse? crashes. summon? crashes
this game is actually unplayable, my game crashes every time i try to start the metro of desire
the combat is also really slow compared to persona 5
pleasee release this on ps5, the space this takes up on my ipad is ridiculous.

### 5/5 — Persona and fair gacha

*2026-09-06, version 4.5.0*

I like Persona even though it has been turned less creative in playstyles besides switching members but it's still is a good JRPG and compared to other gachas it seems a whole lot fair

### 5/5 — I never knew it was possible!!!

*2026-08-30, version 4.5.0*

A mobile persona game that’s legit?! You guys are amazing for giving us this for free. With so much content? What did we do to deserve thissssss. Stellar character designs and story too!

### 5/5 — Review

*2026-08-22, version 4.5.0*

It’s improving more but I’m hopping that the console port is still being developed as I would prefer to play on that rather than a phone

### 5/5 — love this game

*2026-08-15, version 4.5.0*

Perfect addition for to the franchise

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2026-08-13, version 4.5.0*

I got my wives. RUNA and some other girlies

### 5/5 — A stunning game that doesn’t deserve the criticism

*2026-07-28, version 4.5.0*

Let me start this review off like this:

I’m a chronically online, diehard Persona fan. I know I’m most certainly biased to the hundredth degree, but just hear me out.

With that said…

This game’s honestly undeserving of all the criticism. Sure, the pity system’s not the best, but the rewards are plentiful enough that you’ll be able to pull whoever you want. The devs bent over backwards when this game was criticized at launch to compensate all the players handsomely. You can even get outfits with standard pull currency. That’s unheard of. Sure, the devs want you to spend money on the game, but you can still be a F2P if you want. I am! You just won’t get everything all at once.

The game’s a worthy addition to the Persona franchise, and whenever I boot it up, it feels like a happy reunion in the Sea of Souls. That’s all I have to say. Thank you.

### 5/5 — P5X

*2026-07-20, version 4.5.0*

I’m loving it I enjoy playing it every day I hope I can be able to enjoy the game play more and more.

### 5/5 — Bearsona!

*2026-07-19, version 4.5.0*

Such a game

### 5/5 — This game is great, it’s very enjoyable

*2026-07-16, version 4.5.0*

The story is a little extended and stuff, but I still enjoy it, I’m big into gacha games so this is my cup of tea, the characters are cool, and I enjoy that there’s characters from not only P5, but P3 too, just waiting for the P4 collab now… great game!

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-07-16, version 4.5.0*

Good game 👍
