Project X Zone uses a grid layout on, with each character having their strengths and movement options in typical strategy RPG fashion, but battles are set up in a limited arena where characters execute combos and utilize mechanics like Support Attack and Cross Hit to inflict as much damage as possible before their turn is over. It’s a spiritual successor to the Japan only Namco x Capcom, the main difference is that in addition to characters from Namco and Capcom, it also throws in SEGA characters into the mix from franchises like Sakura Wars and Virtua Fighter.

Project X Zone itself for quick context was a hybrid of a strategy RPG and action RPG developed by Banpresto and Monolith Soft, and published by Namco Bandai. Typically the digital version would need to be loaded into an SD card, but the main benefit of choosing digital is slightly faster loading times, the convenience of not switching 3DS game cards, and the option to re-download the game at any given time. Starting around 2012 games produced for the system typically sport a retail and digital version, with a few exceptions that are retail exclusive or vise versa. For reasons unknown, the digital version of Project X Zone has been removed from the Nintendo eShop.
