Your special move points are not just used for flashy offensive strikes, but things like defending and even counter attacking. You have turn-based combat that leverages special skills, combination attacks and flanking tactics as you manoeuvre a variety of characters about a grid-based map.Īspects of the strategy that help to set this title apart from other strategy/RPG hybrids is the way you play defence and the way you string moves together on offence. The original Project X Zone did some neat things with the strategy genre, and by and large the sequel here takes most of its cues from the original.

There is very little I would consider ‘new’ in this game, over what we saw in its predecessor.

To that end, the sequel gets more things right than the original game, and the end result is a tactical experience that was hard to put down due to a good mix of mechanics and enjoyable fanservice. It tries to pull in lots of different elements and place them in a singular framework. Project X Zone is not unlike a crossover fanfiction.
