Arc System Works is one of my favourite fighting game developers at the moment and continue to showcase why licensed properties can transition between genre with success. Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is a true sequel and not a simple rehash.
What I can’t understand is the lack of support for the Switch version of Persona 4 Arena Ultimax - it is the only version not getting the update.
This should make playing online against others a lot more manageable and less prone to failure. Lastly, while it hasn’t happened just yet as the game is still being worked on, Atlus has promised rollback netcode is in the works and will be coming later this summer. Each actor has taken the characters to another level and I am happy to see them again. I am so glad to hear Junpei again and to hear Yu – the silent protagonist from Persona 4, talking. The voice actors from both games are also back for the authentic feel. The game has a ton of remixes as well and feels right at home with the P-1 Grand Prix theme. I want to say that Shoji Meguro is one of my favourite Japanese composers and the work put into the soundtracks of Persona 3 and 4 is exquisite. I didn’t mention how beautiful the game sounded though. I mentioned earlier how beautiful the game looked. The Sho must go on and it’s unbear-simply great to be back in Inaba! If you’re up for it the CPU will take over the battles for you and this allows you to sit back and watch everything happen just like… visual novel! The events unfold like a visual novel with a handful of battles sprinkled in between them. This is Persona however and takes great pride in its stories. The Story mode is fun and coherent – which I am thankful for, fighting games tend to have stories that make little to no sense. Lastly, it’s Versus mode where friendships go to die, and you can battle CPUs or friends. The score attack has you trying to get the highest score possible in a set of 10 fights. Arcade mode is classic fighting game fare and has you proceed with your character through a set of events. There is also a Training mode, where there is a dummy character and you train to your heart’s content and a Challenge mode where you have to complete certain combos to proceed to the next set of challenges.īattle mode includes the ever-wonderful mode Golden Arena (my favourite!) which allows you to dungeon crawl and level up your characters and assign skills to them – like an RPG! It’s SHO good I can’t get enough. The new game modes are a blast and my favourite is the Lesson mode where-in I have spent a lot of time trying to learn everything I could about the game. I spent a ton of time there trying to be a Sho-stopper! You have an avatar that walks around a lobby setting up matches with others there at the arcade machine. The Lobby mode was the best though and was exclusive to the PS3 version. Player match and Ranked are the usual fares of fighting games, pairing you with players from around the world. Online worked well enough and I had no issues getting into matches. Gameplay tweaks, balancing, and other mechanics have been enhanced and these things show. Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is a great portĪrc System has taken a great game and improved it – both behind and in front of the curtain. This is easily one of the most beautiful fighting games I’ve ever played and the production quality really paid off here. Persona 4 Arena Ultimax looks fantastic, and the levels and character sprites are top-notch stuff. If you want to catch up on the previous title’s story – you can catch up on it. You don’t need to know what happened in each sequential game but it does help if you do.
This entry is a great starting point for newcomers as well as fans of the series. This time, however, the game is set in the real world in Inaba and has twisted the world to show it.Īs standard with updating a fighting game, you have newcomers that join the already full roster in the sequel, which includes: Yukari Takeba, Ken Amada and his canine partner Koromaru, Junpei Iori, Rise Kujikawa, Tohru Adachi, Marie, Margaret, and, Sho Minazuki.
Persona 4 Arena Ultimax (P4UA) takes place days after the original game during the P-1 Grand Prix that took place inside the TV World of the previous game. I chose to open with this because the title oozes so much style and substance that it bear-y good to see a new edition to Arc System’s take on this universe. Persona 4 Arena Ultimaxis just as good as the original, if not better.
