Persona 3: Reload Game Mechanics
There are four factors that influence my assessment of the game mechanics of Persona 3: Reload, namely gameplay, control, graphics, and Features in the game. I will score each of these categories according to my own review.
1. Gameplay
Honestly, I was quite 'scared' and a bit worried because many people said that this game had gameplay It's a bit difficult especially when you're fighting. Share casual gamers who play games only, I tend to be the type of player who is 'afraid to lose' and is afraid of plotwist that are in the game.
Considering that Persona 3: Reload has a story that is very dark and deep, I'm also worried gameplay-I thought it would be very gloomy and boring. However, all my worries were dispelled the first time I tried it. login as a character named Katsuragi Keima in this game.
Indeed, at first it was very dark and seem gloomy, but for me it is gameplay-It has a more 'cool' feel of high school in the early 2000s.
For its fighting style, Persona 3: Reload uses the mechanics of turn-based strategy gameplay. So you'll be in full control of telling each character to do something; such as pulling out a Persona move, basic attack, item, or pull out a defense move.
And, I personally prefer RPG mechanics turn-based like this. Why? I can focus on the story, because I want to enjoy the story more. Was the fight boring? Turn out It's addictive!
As we all know, the most lazy RPG players are Leveling, but because gameplay-it's intuitive and dungeon-It also has challenges that always make surprise, so leveling it's the thing I look forward to the most when playing games.
Gameplay rating: 4.7

2. Control
The controls of this game in my opinion heck easy, yes. I don't know if it's because I chose a difficulty level of Easy so it's easier than other difficulty levels. However, it looks like difficulty It has nothing to do with the control.
In short, the game is more comfortable when playing with joystick because all the controls are more suitable for joystick. Then, to issue a Persona move is also easy, just one click and the Persona comes out immediately.
So, when it comes to control during combat, there's no problem at all. However, when you're running it might be a bit agile, in fact I'd say it's very agile. But that's not a drawback, but if you're not used to it, you might find yourself running a lot. misses, especially when it comes to destroying the 'tree of darkness' in Tartarus.
For me personally, I often miss when chasing 'special monsters' whose runs are equally agile. As a result, I failed to catch the monster several times even though its EXP was the largest compared to other monsters.

3. Graphic
One word when I first played this game was 'ANIME BANGET.' No wonder anime lovers love this game. The graphics are very good, I really like how SEGA and ATLUS depict every detail of the characters.
In addition, each monster is drawn so uniquely that I never thought there were monster shapes like those in Persona 3: Reload. Not only that, the most interesting thing about Persona 3: Reload's graphics is the transition.
So, every time the player moves from one place to another, there is a unique transition dominated by blue and white. Well, the transition to the Dark Hour is so different that it gives the impression of 'dark' is very elegant. There are classic-looking clock ornaments with dark shades that match the theme.
What's even better is that each of these transitions moved very smoothly, I didn't find any obstacles here. About this graphic I dare to give rating High!
Graphic rating: 4.9
4. In-Game Features
Previously I was quite amazed with interesting features in the game Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. While playing Persona 3: Reload, I was amazed doubly so because this game has so many features that even I'm addicted to it!
Since there are many features here, I'd like to explain just one of them, which is the main character's daily life. As the main character, your most important task is to fight the 'monsters of darkness'. However, if you don't want to be too serious, you can also participate in other activities.
For example, to add money to buy weapons and Item, You can do work part-time at one of the cafes in the mall. However, work part-time It's not always there, only on days random how the needs of the cafe owner only.
However, whenever there is a vacancy part-time, You can be sure that the cafe owner will let you know on your cell phone that they need workers that night. If it's busy, you can earn more money. Range paid part-time This is erratic, ranging from 2000 yen to 10000 yen.
Oh yeah, this game feature isn't just for work either. part-time, You are also asked to improve charm, academic, and relationships with other NPC characters to enhance the abilities of each Persona you have.

I'm not going to ramble too much in this section, because it wouldn't be fun if I did too much spoiler in the Story. Because Persona 3: Reload is practically remake from the first version, but I don't know the difference story between the two.

System Stability Persona 3: Reload
I don't have much to say about this section either, because I didn't find bug while playing Persona 3: Reload. It's just that I had a bit of trouble finding the EXIT menu in this game.
