As far as turn-based strategy goes, Project X Zone 2 is gorgeous, with each character using attacks and weapons native to their various series, saying quips, and generally cheesing it up. Most of your time in battle will be spent looking at the same attacks over and over, and although there are some timing elements to them, they're largely meant for nostalgic enjoyment. Unfortunately, the strategy doesn't run deep with Project X Zone 2. Dream Match (After Match, After Match, After Match.)
Solo characters can also attach to the main pairs of characters that will jump in and help with a button press. Having two sets of characters adjacent to each other allows for powerful support and cross attacks that devastate the enemy. However, the real strategy comes from character movement as opposed to which attacks you choose.
Like the first entry in the series, combat is mainly performed by inputting button combos to have your pair of characters jet into action onscreen. So X and Zero, Dante and Vergil, and so on will complement each other and act as one single unit. Each playable character pairs up with a partner from their own series. The colorful and highly detailed sprite-based characters explode across the Nintendo 3DS's screen with over-the-top fighting moves. What if Tekken's Jin Kazama joined forces with Ryu from Street Fighter to fight monsters from Resident Evil? How would they react, and what zany hijinks would they get up to? Project X Zone 2 continues the series tradition of displaying these pairings with panache, and for fans of the series portrayed in the game, it's a hilarious and exciting adventure. For all the beloved characters of Street Fighter, Phoenix Wright, Tekken, and other classic series, it's a way to celebrate their unique personalities and provide the player with a ton of entertaining what-if scenarios. The biggest factor in enjoying Project X Zone 2 is to recognize it for what it is. In a world where sales figures are the master and commander of the development train of games, Project X Zone doesn't mind being what may be the most gratuitous piece of fan service ever, even at the risk of lower sales.
If you don't adore the iconic characters from the franchises of Capcom, Sega, and Bandai Namco, it's going to be hard to understand why these games are unique. The Project X Zone series is above all else, a nostalgic romp.
