Tokyo Xanadu eX+ is the definitive version of one of my favourite games of the year and a fantastic overall package for JRPG fans.
Like I said, that’s not enough to make Tokyo Xanadu eX+ worth checking out if you’ve already played it on the Vita. But it does mean that if you never played the Vita version, and you’re looking for a big game with smooth combat and a decent enough plot, then it should fit the bill.

Saw this game on sale and picked it up on whim. I had no idea what it was or what it was about. But something about the name and look through the pictures caught my eye. Im glad i bought it. This is easily my favorite game I've played this year(2021)! You owe it too yourself to play this game. The game is fast and challenging, but satisfying as hell once you learn the enemy attacks and can make it through dungeons without taking damage. The characters are all likeable and the story is interesting and captivating the whole way through! 10/10 in my opinion. I'll definitely be buying a physical copy, so i can support the devs as close to full price as i can. They deserve every penny

It seems one of the two bad reviews is someone who is illiterate so if your illiterate I recommond skiping the text and just do the fun combat but if you love readint and nice hack and lash like combat this is your game if you don't like reading you may still like it

2017 may have been an exhausting year filled with quality videogame releases across different genres and multiple platforms, but Tokyo Xanadu eX+ is still worth setting aside some time for, especially for those starving for more Action RPG hybrids. The exp and loot grinding is still there for hardcore fans, but the smooth and solid action adds an extra layer of responsiveness and fun that can’t always be felt with turn-based battles, resulting in a winning combination that will eat up more of that free time no human could possibly have at this point.
If an editor had taken a serious red pen and streamlined the narrative, Tokyo Xanadu EX+ would be fantastic. As it is, this is a game with stellar JRPG action and a story that will try the patience of all but the most dedicated players.
Tokyo Xanadu is good. It’s a lot of fun and Nihon Falcom has a real touch with combat systems that its developers deserve real respect for. The biggest challenge I found with the game was finding the motivation to actually finish it; it might not get anything wrong, but it’s such a lengthy quest that it really needed a greater thematic depth to maintain my interest, and unfortunately it wasn’t quite able to replicate Nihon Falcom’s own, brilliant, Trails of Cold Steel in offering that.
Tokyo Xanadu eX+ is a wonderful way to spend several hours thanks to a delightfully fun combat system. The standard JRPG storyline means everything feels very familiar, but it's not all bad. Overall, the game's nothing special -- certainly not to look at -- but there's at least plenty of content here, and the title does a decent job of keeping things fresh.
Those who couldn't get enough of Tokyo Xanadu's combat will no doubt be pleased with the extra content here, especially a robust post-game that takes place during Halloween. Everyone else, however, is better off passing this one up. eX+'s additions are so flimsy and superfluous as to actively detract from the original game, dragging out an already thin premise to another 25 hours.
I loved this game.
Insert cries of "this is a Persona clone!" I will entertain those accusations from those who have played more than just Persona 5. I feel like this is more of a nod to Persona than as a clone. This is the team that brought us Ys and Trails. And it plays like a modern action version of that, right down to a reported character, and the same menus.
Anyways. The story follows an ordinary student who accidentally falls into another world that holds demons. There he meets a girl who has been fighting these demons. And so the story starts. Other characters join, and humans are kidnapped or drawn into the other world abyss.
Pros-
Decent music and average anime graphics. Comfortable combat featuring weapons and magic attacks, with three different super attacks. The story is immersive, and I was never bored. It features social events and optional tasks or missions to get to know your classmates and pick up some items. It also features mini games and an incredibly useful teleport menu system on the map. In school and need to be at the park? Teleport. I know what you're thinking here. Another element that was interesting was taken from Trails, and that was cooking recipes for power ups. The characters lacked that annoying one that you won't use to battle and skip in cutscenes; instead they were all generally likable.
Cons - My only con was the fact that they went a little cliche with an element in the endings, and the fact that there are 3 endings. Think end, real end, and then after story end.
And the skateboarding game.
Overall, I put in over 100 hours and achieved a very frustrating platinum by beating it in Nightmare mode and Infinity mode. After it was over, I was sad that I had to move on, and at the same time, craving Persona 4.

Pretty decent game. Despite the lack of uniqueness and depth, the gameplay is fun, solid and some characters were fairly well-developed.
I've seen people comparing Tokyo Xanadu with Persona but they're not that alike. This game will definitiely not going to touch thorny themes, it's a light experience overall.

Schön gemachtes Japan RPG im Persona Stil, das mit charmanten Charakteren, guten Dialogen, netten Dungeons und an die Ys Serie angelehnten Echtzeit Kämpfen zu überzeugen weiß. In keiner Disziplin erreicht es die Qualität eines Persona 5, was deutlich die Referenz dieses Spiels zu sein scheint, dennoch passt bei den spaßigen Kämpfen, den vielen Dungeons, den immer wieder neune Charakteren und Plot Twists bereits sehr viel und das Spiel kann über viele, viele Stunden gut unterhalten. Kein Persona, aber eine gute Zwischenkost für Fans des Genres, die auf ein Persona 6 sicherlich noch lange werden warten müssen.

I didn't like the game, a waste of time. The plot is very boring and not interesting, children's diologues, it makes no sense to read them, after a while you just skip them. Labyrinths are monotonous in nature, the differences are minimal. Fighting more or less, but there is a big minus, the labyrinths are narrow in themselves and when there are many opponents and you need to make evasions, you simply get lost or run into narrow walls. The game, as for me, is designed for young children. I dont recommend the game.
