Project × Zone 3: Sacred Destinies

Project × Zone 3: Sacred Destinies is a tactical role-playing crossover game between Bandai Namco, Capcom and SEGA, it's the sequel to Project X Zone 2. It is part of Namco's X (Cross) series.

The SNK titles Fatal Fury and Metal Slug makes a guest appearance in this game among other game titles such as Nintendo's Fire Emblem and Xenoblade Chronicles, Square Enix's Final Fantasy and Xenogears, Konami's Castlevania and Metal Gear, among others.

Gameplay
The stage takes place in grid-based locations from the game's crossover titles. Each friendly unit is made up of two characters (referred as "Pair Unit"), though a third character (or "Solo Unit") can be added for once-per-battle assistance. Unlike Namco x Capcom, units can move freely within their range on the field map, without penalty for accessing treasure chests or destructible objects prior to attacking.

The battle system is called "Cross Active Battle System", where in pressing the A button in combination with the Circle Pad performs up to five basic attack combos. Additional gameplay elements include Support Attack, which allows the player to call in a nearby ally for assistance, and Cross Hit, which freezes the target in place during simultaneous attacks from multiple units. Also, the player can trigger Critical Hits by connecting their next attack just before the target hits the ground after the first. As the player's units deal damage, the player's Cross Power (XP) gauge fills up and can be used for special attacks and defensive moves on the map. Damage done via Cross Hits can fill this gauge up to 150%.

Project × Zone 3 has a total of 15 save game slots included in the game, which can be used for recording a save game file during intermissions with a quick save file and a soft reset command.
