Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth 2018

Is it still worth playing?

P-Studio's 2018 dungeon crawling role playing game for the Nintendo 3DS, in which the Phantom Thieves of Hearts of Persona 5 are trapped in a movie theater. With the theater's curator, Nagi, and an amnesiac schoolgirl, Hikari, they explore film based labyrinths, and characters from Persona 3 and Persona 4 join the party. Dungeons are first person, with turn based battles, and you draw the maps on the touch screen, though an auto map option exists. Powerful Shadows are visible on the field map and have to be avoided, alongside random encounters. You form teams from a roster, each character using a primary and a sub Persona, and Special Screenings are story scenes between dungeon sections that add character interactions and unlock combined skills. Drawing your own map and steering around visible Shadows make each floor a small puzzle of routes, worth working through today.
