This is supposed to be useful if the enemy you’re fighting won’t be killed by your current combo and an extra few hits from an additional attack will do the trick. When you hit 100 XP, you can use a Mirage Cancel, which slows down time, stops the combo you are in, and gives you another attack. As you attack, you build up XP which is shared among your team. Mirage Cancels, on the other hand, are useless. Attacks now display if they are more likely to poison, stun, fall, or break a shield so as you advance and unlock more combos you’ll find yourself carefully strategizing about which attacks to use and which ones to save. Early on, you’re able to “game” the system a bit by using the same attack over and over again, thus always having a charged attack at the ready. Each unused attacked becomes more powerful and gains you more XP during your next turn. Charge Bonuses are earned each turn you don’t use an attack. New to this game are Charge Bonuses and Mirage Cancels.

Now, you have to know how your characters attack and when they use their most powerful moves. Unlike the previous game, just sending all of your characters out at once is not the way to do it. They freeze the enemy in place, allowing for a more coordinated attack, but there are many attacks that can break them and screw up your combo. Players are limited to just three combos per turn, but you can increase that if you have a third character assigned to your team and/or you attack while situated near another duo.Ĭross Hits, the synchronized attacks between characters, are more difficult to pull off this time.

Position your character near a bad guy to begin the combat sequence, which is a series of combos that you need to link up for maximum damage. Project X Zone 2 is a tactical role-playing game that has pairs of characters moving around the grid to eliminate all of the enemies. The exciting action in this case is the stylized combat that takes place on the game map. That’s what this game is: exciting action sandwiched between a shitload of exposition. It was a lot to make it through one of those episodes, but when the action finally took place in next week’s exciting episode, it was well worth the wait. Not one of those current shows where crap actually happens, but a mid-’90s anime where two characters would spend 22 minutes building up their power while supporting characters updated the audience on everything that has happened up until this point. If I were to describe Project X Zone 2 to somebody who has never heard of the title, the best way I could do that would be to say it’s like playing an anime. And I know as I sit in my office tomorrow, downing an entire six-pack of 5-Hour Energy in a feeble effort to not fall asleep during rush-hour traffic, one thought will be with me: I haven’t been sleeping well over the last week because I’ve been staying up every night playing Project X Zone 2.

It seems like the perfect game to be accompanied by an original soundtrack CD, don’t you think? Project X Zone will include music from many Namco Bandai, Capcom and Sega titles with Banpresto composing original music as well. It’s also stated that during game play, most of the time the background music will be random, however if you perform a special move the music will switch to its hook, which will no doubt increase the adrenaline of the battles. Is this a hint as to how many characters will be playable? Namco Bandai have revealed that Project X Zone will have over 45 songs and that each character will have their own theme tune in the game.
