Battle through dungeons to pump up your strategy and creatively decimate your foes…before all hope fades to black.

I love the ability to make long chains of combos with party members. The very colorful, up-beat, JPOP tone of the game is visually appealing. I'm NOT a fan of JPOP or idols but I still found the character special moves entertaining due to their novelty and it seeming kinda goofy to me. All in all a good time if you don't take it too seriously. The dungeon puzzles and mechanics are very mediocre and so is the story. Even with this though, the gameplay is so great I feel I have to give this a high score.

While it may be a little too cheesy and it has some annoying anime tropes, TMS is a very special game.The setting and story are pretty unique, the characters are trying to make their way into the Japanese show business and along the way they have to fight with the obstacles of the industry and their own personal demons, this is represented with demons and dungeons in a similar style as Persona.The gameplay is fantastic, one of the best combat systems of any JRPG ever, its addictive, accesible but deep and very eye-candy. The presentation of the game as a whole is really good, very vibrant and colorful with a ton of style. The music, while not my style, its really well produced and fitting with the game, its high quality J-pop for the most part.The whole vibe of the game is quite light-hearted, maybe a bit too much for a Shin Megami Tensei spin-off but its really charming and quite engaging.An absolute gem, a game that always makes me happy, great gameplay, great presentation, likeable characters, unique story, its just really good.

In the end, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore is a simple reminder of how diverse and great was the WiiU's library of games. This is a great JRPG that Switch fans who were left out of the Persona 5 party should own.

For good or ill, Tokyo Mirage Session #FE: Encore's biggest strength and biggest weakness is that it's pretty much the same game you may have played on the Wii U. It runs better, it looks better, and it has some nice quality-of-life improvements, but it's basically the same game. Is that worth $60? It depends on how much you enjoyed the game in the first place, or if you missed it due to it being a Wii U title. Anyone who is a fan of Persona-style games will almost certainly enjoy it. JRPG fans hoping for something to tide them over until Persona 5 Royale should find a comfortable home in the weird world of Tokyo Mirage Sessions.

Objectively speaking, this is a very good JRPG from the end of the Wii U's life cycle that didn't get a lot of attention when it first cameObjectively speaking, this is a very good JRPG from the end of the Wii U's life cycle that didn't get a lot of attention when it first came out. It felt like a precursor to Persona 5's visual style and the combat was excellent, some of my favorite combat sequences in JRPG's to date. While the story is a VERY cookie-cutter JRPG/Anime snorefest (with a ton of "Friendship is Magic!" scenerios throughout), the characters are fairly fun and entertaining to play through it with.However, if you had, like me, played the game on the Wii U, there's nothing here that would would constitute a second play-through. There is one very basic and short extra dungeon that adds next to the nothing to the game, except to get a few new costumes and 1 brand new song. That's it. Personally, that makes this closer to a 6-7 for me since I was under the impression there was more here for returning players. However I can't deny how good the game actual is and how well it functions for people who may have not played a Persona game before and are wanting to see what they're like before diving into P5: Royal in a few months. For that reason, this game is a solid 8/10
