    Before playing this, I had little experience in the genre, yet, as someone who never played the original, I ended up mostly enjoying Project X Zone 2.

    This is a strategic RPG that could be considered similar to the Fire Emblem series. Controls are responsive and I experienced little to no lag. Basically, you control "pair units" of two characters to attack enemies on the map. You can also assign "solo units" to characters to deal more damage in a single turn. Thinking ahead about where to place characters and where to attack from is vital in Project X Zone 2. This adds a layer of strategy to the game. However, I found the gameplay repetitive. There is little variation in actual battles, even with all the characters and their different attacks. A single level can also go on for a long time.

    As its name may suggest, Project X Zone 2 has a lot of characters from various video game series. Some are more recognisable than others, and there are some surprising choices in there (Phoenix Wright, Segata Sanshiro). Most characters have humorous and entertaining interactions.

    This is probably not the game for casual players, but I think newcomers to the genre can fairly easily pick it up and play. I also think the anime-like aesthetic gives it extra charm.    … Expand

    Personalmente me ha decepcionado mucho. Esta segunda entrega, a priori, lo tenia todo para que se convirtiera en uno de mis juegos favoritos en la portatil de nintendo, sin embargo el juego no innova en nada con respecto a la primera entrega, tiene una mecanica de combates muy simples. Su historia es pesima, muy aburrida y es una lastima porque el juego nos llega localizado a nuestroPersonalmente me ha decepcionado mucho. Esta segunda entrega, a priori, lo tenia todo para que se convirtiera en uno de mis juegos favoritos en la portatil de nintendo, sin embargo el juego no innova en nada con respecto a la primera entrega, tiene una mecanica de combates muy simples. Su historia es pesima, muy aburrida y es una lastima porque el juego nos llega localizado a nuestro idioma. Su escasa dificultad tampoco ayuda mucho a que nos divierta y suponga un reto. Juego que tan solo recomiendo a fans de estos personajes iconicos y por un precio inferior al de salida.… Expand

    A game with fun combat and a large roster of various characters from many different franchises. Ultimately its combat is the main draw , however the "story" and the dialogue sections become nothing more than a convoluted mess that become tiring to read (even for me and I am quite patient when it comes to reading dialogue).

    At the end of the day Project X Zone 2 is fun if you ignore the dialogue (which is skippable THANKFULLY)
    though most character appearances are little more than cameo fodder. Unimpressive cameo fodder mostly, though some are very likable.    … Expand

    Fan fiction story aside, Project X Zone 2 is fan service that's more than worth your time.

    Souffle-light strategy and near-peerless star gazing means this is solid fan service, but it could be much more. [Apr 2016, p.79]

    No masterpiece, but captivating. [Issue#172, p.88]
