This is never really explained, and on one specific stage, doesn’t make any sense in the game’s universe. Traps, such as poison and stun squares, can hurt player and enemy alike, but there are other obstacles that can only hurt you. Rules of the map also don’t always apply to the enemies. For instance, one map warns you not to go near a dangerous object, but you will most likely never even get close to it because all of the enemies will be defeated before you are halfway there. I also found several maps that were just poorly planned out. This means you’ll often have your characters moving in one direction, only to then have to turn half of them around because a new villain hit the scene right where you started out. Unfortunately, the actual tactical portion of this tactical RPG still needs some work.Įach chapter unfolds like so: there’s a small story section, then action, then more story as new characters are introduced, then more action and, as you get towards the later chapters, more stories and more action. I had now idea how such a small change could make that big of an impact but it makes the game move at a much more enjoyable pace. Yes, you can make your Mirage Cancel cost slightly less, but I never used the feature outside of a few experiments with it.Īdditional, much-appreciated changes include no longer needing XP to use blocks and countering, and separating player and enemy movements. Those wondrously animated attack sequences do way more damage than Mirage Cancels and use just as much XP. However, Mirage Cancels cost 100 XP, as do your special attacks. This is supposed to be useful if the enemy you’re fighting won’t be killed by your current combo and an extra few hits from an additional attack will do the trick. When you hit 100 XP, you can use a Mirage Cancel, which slows down time, stops the combo you are in, and gives you another attack.
As you attack, you build up XP which is shared among your team. Mirage Cancels, on the other hand, are useless. Attacks now display if they are more likely to poison, stun, fall, or break a shield so as you advance and unlock more combos you’ll find yourself carefully strategizing about which attacks to use and which ones to save. Early on, you’re able to “game” the system a bit by using the same attack over and over again, thus always having a charged attack at the ready. Each unused attacked becomes more powerful and gains you more XP during your next turn. Charge Bonuses are earned each turn you don’t use an attack. New to this game are Charge Bonuses and Mirage Cancels. Now, you have to know how your characters attack and when they use their most powerful moves.
Unlike the previous game, just sending all of your characters out at once is not the way to do it. They freeze the enemy in place, allowing for a more coordinated attack, but there are many attacks that can break them and screw up your combo. Players are limited to just three combos per turn, but you can increase that if you have a third character assigned to your team and/or you attack while situated near another duo.Ĭross Hits, the synchronized attacks between characters, are more difficult to pull off this time.

Position your character near a bad guy to begin the combat sequence, which is a series of combos that you need to link up for maximum damage. Project X Zone 2 is a tactical role-playing game that has pairs of characters moving around the grid to eliminate all of the enemies. The exciting action in this case is the stylized combat that takes place on the game map. That’s what this game is: exciting action sandwiched between a shitload of exposition. It was a lot to make it through one of those episodes, but when the action finally took place in next week’s exciting episode, it was well worth the wait. Not one of those current shows where crap actually happens, but a mid-’90s anime where two characters would spend 22 minutes building up their power while supporting characters updated the audience on everything that has happened up until this point. If I were to describe Project X Zone 2 to somebody who has never heard of the title, the best way I could do that would be to say it’s like playing an anime. And I know as I sit in my office tomorrow, downing an entire six-pack of 5-Hour Energy in a feeble effort to not fall asleep during rush-hour traffic, one thought will be with me: I haven’t been sleeping well over the last week because I’ve been staying up every night playing Project X Zone 2.

I look like death, my face pale as grocery-size bags blacken the skin under my eyes. My eyes are bloodshot, struggling to stay open. It is closing in on four o’clock in the morning.
