“Sharp dialogue writing really makes the most of the unique pairings. Simply seeing, say, Street Fighter's Chun-Li talk to Yakuza's Kiryu is the reward. The collection of excuses used to unite this army of heroes through time and space is often laughed off by the characters themselves, emphasizing that the mystery that unites the motley crew for a turn-based strategy game ultimately doesn't matter. As a way of reveling in gaming history, PXZ2 is just the dose of nostalgia you'd want, though it doesn’t make the strategy action surrounding it any less shallow.Just like in the original, Project X Zone 2 brings together a variety of series’ characters, from Street Fighter and Yakuza to lesser-known franchises like Sakura Wars and Summon Night, by way of a story that's as best described as perfunctory. Project X Zone 2 overloads you with truckloads of good-natured celebration, piling dozens of classic characters from Namco, Sega, and Capcom all into one sprawling package of tactical gameplay. As far as this game is concerned, it is one shared universe.Like funnel cake or any other sweet treat, fan service can be satisfying, but if there's not much going on underneath its appeal wears off quickly. If you like the idea of having some of your favourite characters, fighting and talking to each other something that would never usually happen, then yes Project X Zone 2 is for you. One thing I will mention is that it didn’t feel seem too difficult to out think the enemy and in most cases I would just need to split the team apart and bring it back together to take down the boss. Luckily the events they mention from other games I’ve actually played, so it was pretty cool to see how the other characters fitted together into that one universe. I enjoy games that make me want to think and this has that in bundles. I never got the chance to play the previous game, however after playing Project X Zone 2 I’m actually upset at myself for having missed it. In regular RPG’s, attacking from behind will always cause the most damage and if you can do it, definitely go for it however watch out for it yourself. What this allows you to do is call on that team mate during the attack phase to squeeze out that extra damage, something I found very useful especially when going up against those with a high amount of HP.ĭepending on who you are controlling, you have a couple of options when it comes to advancing on the enemy. Another interesting mechanic is being able to team up to create stronger attacks and this is done by attacking an enemy with a team mate close by. In most cases, you can attack the enemy from a reasonable distance, however for some you need to get up close before initiating an attack. Some characters differ not only in their customisations, but also how much area they can cover in one turn. Each character has their own strengths and these can be further customised in the main menu with items collected during the story. The gameplay is turn based and consists of you strategically taking down the opposing force as efficiently as possible. There are even more than those I’ve mentioned, some which you will see during the opening intro and some you will come across as you play the game.
#PROJECT X ZONE 2 DLC NOT WORKING SERIES#
You can expect characters from big franchises such as Capcom’s Resident Evil, Street Fighter and Mega man Nintendo’s Fire Emblem and Xenoblade Chronicles Bandai Namco’s Tekken and Tales of Vesperia or Sega’s Space Channel 5, Shenmue and Shinobi series making for one diverse cast of personalities. It’s a game where it basically puts together characters from different games and tries to tie them all together to make one universe that makes complete sense. Once the map is cleared of enemies, you are given time to save, buy items such as health and weapons from the shop, and make any customisations to the characters you have. The story progresses in stages where you have characters conversing about a subject, enemies appear and then those who were initially against each other will team up, for example Heihachi, Kazuya and Jin, the very dysfunctional Mishima family.
