Release Date: November 12, 2015
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.

God is a Geek: 6.5 / 10 by Lee Garbutt
For a certain niche crowd that has the patience (or plays the game in short bursts), this'll be right up their street, but for the rest of us, it's nothing special.
Nintendo Enthusiast: 6.5 / 10 by Eric Weichhart
Project X Zone 2 does a great job improving on almost every element from the previous game. The problem is that they also made the game easier; this removed any strategy needed, and so the experience has become rather dull. It is admirable that they made so many improvements, but with the total lack of challenge, it was all for naught.
Game Revolution: 3.5 / 5 by Kevin Schaller
I understand I shouldn't expect the depth of SRPGs like Disgaea to build up a team from scratch, but I would like to feel like I was a part of the situation and not simply watching like a coach from the sidelines. Once that's a possibility, I will totally be onboard with PXZ as a series. But as enjoyable as this can be one battle each sitting, it overstays its welcome. But I'm happy it exists, and takes the concept that established characters can be played with like the Play-Doh these devs may have snacks on as children.
Average score from votes.
