Awesome but flawed game

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 27, 2013

Project X Zone is a interesting game with several characters people know and love... bringing all these characters together in one title alone.. is insane.. but doing it on a portable.. and making a fun SRPG out of it... wow.. just wow.. Now on to the pluses and minuses..

+ The number of characters and the franchises this represents is fantastic.. and will bring back a nostalgic feel for some..

- Well some popular franchises were left out..and sometimes you will wish they made a few better choices with the franchises they used..

+ The Graphics are pretty good and look like a cartoon... the animation is amazing....

- Yeah about that Animation Thing.. your basic enemies do very little in the form of animating.. (They move.. that is it) and the only other animation besides your characters kicking the crap out of a helpless whatever.. happens on the boss characters.. and is not always as flashy as what your characters do..

+ It's pretty easy getting healing items and various other things.. (You defeat the enemies or break something that looks like a circle with a letter in it and random chests)

- Sometimes that can hurt the difficulty of the battle.. and pretty much forces the enemies to rely on numbers..

+ The Voice acting is awesome and reading the subtitles is easy...

+ The story is more or less fun and laid back.. with plenty of jokes...

- The story has to be lighthearted if it was anything near serious it would hurt the game as a whole and some of the jokes are not funny...

+ Your characters have a nice array of moves and skills...

- You can learn new skills but a lot of the skills do the same thing but have different names..

- You can't create your own teams... (For Instance Chun Li and Morrigan will always be together)

+ However there is Solo Characters of which you can move around from unit to unit.

+ There is a possibility to use the Units around an attacking unit as a Support Unit to help with the attack.. as well as a Solo attack from the Solo Characters mentioned above.

- However the system of all this does make the battles easier at times.(Between the Attack, Solo Attack and Support Attack you can at times take enemies out easily)

+ This game will make you think.. just because you have 4000 HP's does not mean your invincible.. and the basic enemies do get a little tougher..

- Well some of their toughness comes from the fact that at times you are limited in the moves you can do...

+ However as the game progresses you get to do additional attacks.. and if you use all of your attacks.. you get + 1 attack.. (The attacks you can do is represented by small red bars below your Blue Bar that charges up during battle from X cross..)

+ You get multiple choices of what to do when an enemy attacks you

- Well those choices cause you to lose some of your XP bar.. which when filled to the 100% or above allows you to unleash a spectacular screen filling well animated combo attack that can leave your enemies in shreds.. or confused.. and seeing stars...(Also using skills will subtract from the XP bar as well)

+ However when you get those epic combos off.. wow.. just wow.. they are just that awesome.. graphically.. and fun and crazy.. (Like most of the animation in the game.)

The Bottom line to this game is this.. if you enjoy the characters and franchises.. and don't mind a more lighthearted SRPG... then you will probably love this game.. and excuse all the downsides.. it will bring back a sense of nostalgia with it's battle scenes.. it will make you think.. and it will keep you entertained... but for all the ups in the game there are downs.. it's not perfect.. and has it's flaws.. but overall.. it's a very good game.. and most likely a must have for a lot of RPG starved gamers on the 3DS..\

Edit as mentioned in comments..

- it is easy to use skills and items.. as well as super attacks to defeat enemies.. (I guess that is another flaw I forgot to mention.. my bad.. thanks Neil Chatterjee(Hey I am not perfect and seeing as to how this is probably one of the things I least spam.. well anyway.. my bad..)

In addition it is important to note the choice of characters that made the cut.. is not a flaw.. but I can see how some people would be disappointed if some of their favorite franchises and characters did not make the game.. (Heck I was with a few.. like I can think of a few characters I would have rather had from Shining Force in the game than the ones chosen... or maybe the Shining Series in general.. )

Just... fun...

Perhaps it's the nostalgia of some characters that I haven't seen in a long time and hearing their (remixed) theme songs. There's just something mindlessly enjoyable about this game. The fan service is just through the roof. While I haven't beaten the game yet, I've put in a decent amount of time so far to write this review. Just keep in mind that I have not finished it yet.

Ignoring the obvious draw of the game (the characters), the most significant part of this title is the combat. If you've ever played a "Tales of" game, you'll quickly recognize input methods for actions during combat. It's a far simpler setup with no need to customize. It's really just about the timing of your attacks and commands to get special attack benefits. Hitting an enemy at the same time as your assist characters will cause an effect that temporarily freezes the enemy in place (potentially making it easier to combo) or initiating a hit just before the opponent hits the ground will cause the attack to be a Critical hit (more damage done).

For most of us, it'll take a while to get the gameplay down well enough to pull off more advanced tactics. You'll constantly need to play as other characters, whom have their own timings with their attacks, so perfecting your combo chaining will take some getting used to.

The music. OMG the music. This is where the nostalgia bit really surfaces. Hearing something like the remixed Sakura Wars and SF4 Volcanic Rim theme song playing during a massive special attack (by the respective characters) is just... MMMM... so good! Even the original tracks for PXZ are enjoyable. Regarding the Sakura Wars theme, it makes me feel a bit hesitant to do the special attacks that trigger the theme because it reminds me of how cheesy some things I like are, but it's just too awesome not to!

In general, the sound is a significant part of what makes the game enjoyable. The voice work is, as you would hope, superb. Although, I'm still not used to hearing Japanese for characters that never had an officially used JP VA (Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, etc), but it's not like that was a problem. Others may already be used to it due to games like MVC3 or the import versions of recent RE games.

The story is... somewhat drawn out. Given the vast amount of universes, it's actually a fairly well done story that takes note of various conflicting histories between them. Not to mention the huge roster, it'll take a while to introduce the units without just making it entirely a "*POOF* Here's the entire roster" sort of thing. This is where the drawn out part comes into play though, as you'll always be encountering a new set of characters. It feels as though you're still in the beginning of the game 10+ hours in, but since I still haven't beaten it, maybe I am.

The controls are basic and responsive, which is a good thing IMO, so not much to say there. It's a grid-style game, not a fighter.

If the concept of cross-franchises intrigues you, and you're okay with grid-like games (think FF Tactics layout), this game is definitely entertaining. Just don't expect anything award-winning, as far as the story is concerned. It's a pure and simple fan service title with a fun style of play that you may or may not have experienced with other games. As I mentioned earlier, I have not beaten this game yet, so this review is based on what I have experienced thus far (13hrs in). To me, that amount of time enjoying the game is well worth the price already.

Fun game!

I love the crossovers of characters that come from all sorts of games with some being ones I don't recognize! It's a turn-based strategy game and the battle system is pretty much just timing your combos and the battles feel pretty repetitive. My favourite part about this game is the interactions the characters have with each other after you defeat a monster.

El problema no fue el producto, llevo en perfectas condiciones con su embalaje original y todo en regla pero al abrir el paquete por obviedad me doy cuenta que este era al Project X Zone 2 y no al 1, y aproveché la promoción del 20% para darme un gusto y tener ambas partes pero no fue así cuando vuelva a tener mas existencias y tenga promoción lo compraré ya que cuesta casi 3 veces menos el 2 que el 1, para que te envíen la edición incorrecta de paso.

Great TRPG

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on August 12, 2013

Verified Purchase

A great tactical RPG with more characters than you can shake a stick at. It's a very fun, not serious at all, cross over with so many characters coming together that every level just makes you smile a big stupid grin. The fact that you can have Yuri Lowel, X from Mega Man X, Haken Browning and Frank West makes it worth your time. Only issue is some maps take a long time, like up to an hour so make sure you have plenty of time to spare when you are playing.
