It is the second installment in a jRPG series - Project X Zone, published in 2012, in which players lead a team of characters from several popular franchises created by SEGA, Capcom, and Namco Bandai, including Resident Evil, Tekken, Megaman X, Devil May Cry, and Sakura Wars. The story features a fictional world combining token locations and buildings from the aforementioned games.
Project X Zone 2 is the second installment of the jRPG series of tactical games, where we can lead the team of characters from popular titles such as Resident Evil, Tekken, Megaman X, Devil May Cry or Sakura Wars. Monolith Software studio is responsible for producing versions for Nintendo 3DS.
The story takes place in a fictional world, a combination of locations and buildings known from SEGA, Capcom and Bandai Namco games. The characters we control and the NPCs we meet are also alive from other series. And so we can play Dante or Vergila from Devil May Cry, X or Zero from Megaman X, Leon from Resident Evil, Jina Kazama from the Tekken series and many other characters from games such as .hack///, Strider, Soul Calibur V, Virtua Fighter or Shinobi. In total, several hundred unique heroes have been put at the player's disposal, which we can embody in our team.
The game is divided into two segments. The first one is to travel around the world seen from an isometric perspective, looking for objects, opponents and talking to other characters. Each movement takes action points, which can be used in a given turn. If we start a skirmish, turn-based restrictions disappear - we move to the battlefield and fight there in a small space using our characters. The matches in this form very much resemble a classic fight. At the same time we can control two heroes, but thanks to special skill we will occasionally allow a third hero to help.
Graphic design of Project X Zone 2 on Nintendo 3DS looks decent. The whole is maintained in manga and anime style, but this is mainly due to what characters are placed in the game.

Game Ratings for Project X Zone 2 Video Game.
COGconnected: 70 / 100 by Tyler Treese
While it's a pretty simple strategy game, so don't expect the satisfaction that you get from Fire Emblem or Disgaea from these battles, there are some new touches that add some much needed depth to the formula.
Shacknews: 6 / 10 by Brittany Vincent
Fan service isn't always for everyone, and with Project X Zone 2 overflowing with it, people are going to be turned off. I honestly don't think it could be any other way, though. Project X Zone 2 isn't for newcomers to its various represented series. It's for fans that have stuck by these venerable franchises for years. It shows how rewarding a zany bordering on nonsensical crossover can be, and it's unfortunate that more developers feel they can't take the risk to potentially alienate audiences with other properties.
Metro GameCentral: 5 / 10
The line-up of characters is the stuff of fanboy dreams, but the gameplay is enough to send you to sleep – if not give you nightmares.
