The game takes place in Tokyo's Shinjuku ward. After an incident that took place at the Shibuya district, the city was sealed off due to the presence of monsters. As such, there are no humans left in the area. However, this doesn't mean that everyone is dead. There are still people living in the area who have been trapped inside the walls. These people are called "Shinjukurangers." They live together with the monsters.
Players will be able to play as one of four different personas: Joker, Shadow Labrys, Kanji Tatsumi, or Mitsuru Kirijo. Each persona has its strengths and weaknesses. For example, Mitsuru is good at controlling her shadow form while Kanji is good at his fire attack.
Each persona has its own stage. Every time you defeat a boss, you earn experience points. When enough experience points are earned, your persona level increases. Your persona level determines how powerful it is. At higher levels, you'll be able to use more powerful attacks.
There are three types of stages: Normal, Hard, and Ultimate. Normal stages are easy-going compared to the harder ones. You're not going to die if you lose on these stages. On the other hand, Ultimate stages are much harder than normal stages. If you lose on them, you'll end up losing all of your health.
In addition, there are two modes available: Story Mode and Survival Mode. In Story Mode, you'll go through various story missions. Each mission gives you a certain amount of money. This money allows you to buy items like weapons, accessories, and costumes.
In Survival Mode, you'll be given a set number of lives. Once you run out of lives, you'll automatically lose. You'll have to keep playing until you win.
You can unlock additional content by earning EXP points. You can earn EXP points by defeating enemies and bosses. You can also get EXP points by completing side quests.
