A jRPG title developed for Wii U console by studio Atlus and the Nintendo company. We play as a teenage boy named Itsuki Aoi, who accidentally becomes part of the talent agency Fortuna Entertainment. Our hero learns about the existence of mysterious creatures from different dimensions called Mirages, which attack our world unnoticed and absorb human energy known as Performa.
Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE is an original jRPG that takes players to modern Tokyo. The title was produced by Atlus and Nintendo. The game was announced for the first time in 2010. The ambitious project is a combination of two popular series: tactical Fire Emblem and turn-based jRPG Shin Megami Tensei, whose most popular representatives are games from under the Persona franchise. During the production process, the title has undergone a major evolution, eventually debuting in Japan in December 2015. At that time, it was met with great critical acclaim, but also with little interest on the part of the players themselves, which resulted in exceptionally low sales results.

In addition, we also travel to another world, built in the form of labyrinths, designed in a style thematically related to the entertainment industry. Combat takes place in turn-based system on separate arenas. Team members have many types of attacks with magical properties, which we use when looking for weaknesses in the enemies.
