In Arena Ultimax, you have your physical attacks and Persona attacks. Though I’m generally not a fan of the auto-combo spamming the light attack does. It’s really fun to be able to chain up combos and use Personas strategically. Fighting feels fluid, aggressive, and robust as expected of fighting games from Arc System Works.
Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is a fighting game with a good flow. Despite the aforementioned shorter list of characters for a fighting game, most characters have a second “shadow form” you can select which alters their fight style and personality. Some characters bear the title of “Egocentric Police Dick” and “Sadistic Stud-Keeping Secretary” which gave me a pretty good laugh. This game also has some pretty good sense of humor. This is a game clearly meant for those who are already in the know of events that transpired during Persona 4. It’s fully voiced with the original English VAs (except for Fuuka) and utilizes a remix of existing soundtracks during battles. I’m guessing this option is there for those who wish to simply experience the narrative without having to struggle.Īrena Ultimax has a surprisingly entertaining story, retaining many of the original charms Persona 3 and 4 characters had. I did find it questionable that you can just put the game on automatic to have battles play out for you.
No need to purchase any DLCs for additional content. I like that Ultimax combines both the original Persona 4 Arena story and its new campaign to be experienced in conjunction. Though they make up for that by each being charming in their own right. Persona 4 Arena Ultimax doesn’t have many characters in its roster when you compare it to other fighting games. The fact that ATLUS added rollback netcode means that the online versus mode is alive once again and better than ever. It’s a bit disappointing that there is no new content added to the game besides Version 2.0 but it is a great chance to bring back a beloved classic for fresh blood to experience. In Japan, Arena Ultimax version 2.0 never left the country which has some particular changes that alter the flow of the fights.įor a modern-day port, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is passable. The one critical difference is in the version. To give a bit of background the original Persona 4 Arena Ultimax isn’t too different from the port we’re getting today. Developed by Arc System Works, creators of BlazBlue, Guilty Gear, and Dragon Ball FigtherZ, the game follows familiar mechanics from these other fighting games except with a Persona spinoff.
Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is a fighting game that conveys its story through a visual novel-style narrative. Not that this is anything to complain about since, much like Persona 4 Golden, Arena Ultimax is a much-welcomed addition to those who have never tried the game.

Case in point, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax was originally for the PS3 and Xbox 360 all the way back in 2013 and now has been ported to the PS4, PC, and Nintendo Switch. ATLUS is quite busy bringing classic old games into modern-day consoles.
