In-Verse All-Stars Versus



In-Verse All-Stars Versus is an upcoming 2017 Tactical Crossover RPG by In-Verse Team Zero and is the 10th entry of the All-Stars/Heroes series, it is the in-name only sequel of the very massive 2015's In-Verse All-Stars Legends because it balances the roster to a shorter, less broken roster and returns to the basics from 2013's In-Verse All-Stars: Starry Sky Story, this game comes to consoles only, this game commemorates the fifth anniversary of the In-Verse Heroes/All-Stars label.

This is the first crossover written solely by Pauly-kun as past games were written by the team, it also has the combination of the Namco X Capcom and Project X Zone 2 formula.

Guest Characters from ACS Softworks and Red appear in this game.

Gameplay
The game play uses grid-based locations, from many titles. Each Player Unit is made either a paired or a single one (with less attack power with higher defense), and another option is combining the three together, they can move freely in the map within their range.

Unlike Starry Sky Story, you can choose the desirable units list, with those listed in green and solos in yellow (With some obligatory exceptions in some characters, listed in red, and solos are in blue), but in the other hand, unlike Legends, the game is linear and not free to recruit, instead, it is for default.

The game's attacks are a direction in the pad and the Triangle/X/Y, Circle/A/B, and X/B/A, with the Square/Y/X being the one who access to the MAP Attack/Limit Break is a burst gauge is full, Rivals are also capable to have a burst gauge with their Enemy Attack, there are also Fusion between more units in certain cases to do an "Ultimate Assault".

The game has forty-six normal stages and five prologues, and a epilogue, making a total of fifty-two stages.

Story
Dr. Murakumo Kusanagi tries to solve his personal dilemma, how to defeat the "Warriors of Chaos", an organization who caused destruction in other worlds. However, he finds "In-Uni-Verse", short, "In-Verse", a planet very similar to the earth. He called many heroes of the different times to help him, he made a Time Machine with the intention to teleport them at different eras, he also recruited three new heroes, unknown to everyone else.

Anne Teague

 * Lizandro's subtext with Aria will be given minimum exposition possible.
 * Divine's and Nova's innuendo were cut altogether.

Trivia
