Alchemy Stars' Summer Crossover Event Brings Persona 5 Characters, More

gamerant.com:

Fresh off the back of its 1st Anniversary celebrations, mobile tactical RPG game Alchemy Stars continues the party, this time inviting characters from Persona 5 to join the proceedings. Hopefully, players have been saving those free lumambers from the anniversary promotion, because they'll be able to recruit five characters from Persona 5, as well as playing a special crossover scenario alongside the Phantom Thieves of Hearts themselves. If a player is new to the game, they can download it free from the Google Play and iOS stores, respectively.

The crossover runs from today (July 14th) to August 3rd, so there is plenty of time to log onto the game and claim the promotional freebies. To celebrate the crossover, Alchemy Stars fans get a playable character from Persona 5, Mona, who they can recruit into their team of heroes without spending a dime.

Alongside playing as Mona, players can enjoy an all-new scenario, which sees other P5 characters joining the action; Joker, Queen, Fox, and Violet. Gamers can also recruit all of these characters, meaning that once the crossover ends, they can still play as powerful warriors from the Persona 5 universe; it will be interesting to see which of the Phantom Thieves' powers make it into the Alchemy Stars setting.

The new scenario sees the Alchemy Stars Spiritweaver himself, Luke, fighting against the forces of evil that have overtaken his land of Umbraton. We see the Umbraton Mercenary Squad's own Deputy Commander dueling with shadowy foes that have taken over his stomping ground. How to beat these pesky enemies and deal with bandit attacks along the way? By enlisting the help of Joker and Queen, of course.

The scenario is peppered with tropes from the Persona 5 game, so fans of that
