That latter attack can only be done against CPU opponents but will do wonders to help new players get through the story mode battles.Īnother big change to Ultimax isn't available yet, and won't be for a number of months. There are also special moves that can be unleashed by holding an attack button, charging a meter to the desired point, and releasing it to perform the move. The game includes some helpful features for newcomers to fighting games such as flashy auto combos that can be performed by mashing one button.
PERSONA 4 ARENA ULTIMAX PS4 PHYSICAL FULL
Not only is the full Ultimax story included, which plays out with voiced Persona 4-esque dialog scenes broken up with matches against the CPU, but the entire original Persona 4 Arena's story is here as well. If you're a Persona fan coming to Arena for the narrative for the first time, this package is the best way to experience it. For those looking to experience the story of P4A, those changes won't mean much, but for fighting game fans, it's a revamped and rebalanced roster of fighters to relearn and explore. What makes this release special is the addition of the balance changes made to the arcade version that was never implemented on consoles, including making the roster of Shadow characters more competitively viable. All of the DLC is wrapped into the package, including every downloadable character, color scheme, and announcer voice pack.

Well, what exactly is this port of Ultimax, and is it different from the prior release on PS3 and Xbox 360? To put it simply, this is Persona 4 Arena Ultimax with everything that was ever released for the game on consoles with something a little extra on top. I've had the game in my hands for the last couple of nights fighting in and out of the Midnight Channel, exploring this new version of the fighting game pseudo-sequel to Persona 3 and 4, and grasping Arc System Work's mechanics once again. Persona 4 Arena Ultimax makes its triumphant return with new ports releasing on PlayStation 4, PC, and Switch next week.
