![]() ![]() “Require” might not be the right word here, as the fights can even be automated and played by the computer if players want to purely take in the story passively, which is a great addition considering many Persona fans might be novice fighting game players and this avoids potential roadblocks. Similar to what fans have come to expect from the BlazBlue series, the story mode is primarily a visual novel with fights that occasionally break out and require the player to beat an opponent to continue. Including the story for Persona 4 Arena is particularly handy as it serves as an excellent follow-up to Persona 4 Golden and offers plenty of fun moments with the cast of characters that fans have grown to love. Thankfully, nearly all of the DLC is included in this $29.99 package allowing fans to finally check out all the alternate versions of characters without having to break the bank. When Persona 4 Arena Ultimax launched on consoles back in 2014, it also came with a lot of downloadable content that ranged from the story mode of its predecessor to three playable characters (two of which were free at launch) and a plethora of additional colors and voices. Throw in some other gameplay mechanics that reference the main series, such as all-out attacks, and you have a fighter that is pretty approachable and also a lot of fun to learn the nuances of. Rather than just being an attack, Personas can be damaged themselves and even temporarily disabled if they take enough hits and will severely limit a player’s offensive arsenal. However, that isn’t to say there isn’t depth to the action as it takes full advantage of the RPG series’ gameplay by making two of the four attack buttons tied to characters’ Personas, which are then summoned into battle to pull off abilities and attacks. Inputs aren’t nearly as complicated as Guilty Gear and auto combos are in full effect if players wish to mash their character’s light attack repeatedly. Similar to developer Arc System Works’ Granblue Fantasy: Versus, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax has been designed with approachability in mind. While nine years have passed, the good news is that Atlus’ stylish fighting game largely holds up and remains a treat for Persona fans. ![]() Persona 4 Arena Ultimax originally came to arcades in 2013 and now makes its triumphant return to consoles with a new port that features previously released downloadable content, all of the gameplay balancing changes that came in version 2.50 (previously exclusive to Japanese arcades), and visual improvements such as a better-looking user interface and a higher resolution. ![]()
