Super Hero Taisen XX: Lost Heroes

Super Hero Taisen XX: Lost Heroes (スーパーヒーロー 大たい 戦せん ＸＸダブルクロス ：ロストヒーローズ) is a crossover tactical role-playing game produced by Banpresto in conjuction with Bandai Namco Games that was released for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VITA worldwide on January 9, 2021. It is the third installment of the Cross Crisis series and an entry of the Compati Hero series that features characters from Kamen Rider, Ultraman and Gundam, but also brings characters from various tokusatsu series including Super Sentai, Metal Hero, Garo and others.

Two editions of the game was released, a regular version and an Ultra Sound Edition featuring background music from the respective series.

Gameplay
The game shows many similarities to the Super Robot Wars series which also produced by Banpresto. The game follows the story of characters of all three series as they travel to different worlds, encountering heroes and enemies of that respective world. The game is driven by a manga style narrative where conversations are held between characters during each mission.

Each mission takes place on a grid-like level where each unit occupies one space on the map. The player selects the heroes to be deployed for the mission and is presented with a Mission Trigger and a Secret Shock. Each one of these represents a goal for the user to achieve in the level. Successfully completing the Secret Shock will spawn a new wave of bonus enemies that offers bonus experience. The story progresses when the objective for the Mission Trigger is reached which spawns new enemies and unlocks the Boss Break objective. Completing the Boss Break objective moves the mission story forward again and summons the final wave of enemies. If all mission objectives are cleared, the last remaining enemy in the stage will enter a Last Stand mode where it powers up and rewards more experience on defeat. Clearing all the enemies in the level or clearing the main objective in the mission will end the mission.

The missions are separated into turns where the player has the chance to move and attack with each of their heroes. After the turn is passed, the enemy turn begins and each enemy will be controlled by the computer AI. If two units engage each other, the player will have the opportunity to attack, defend, dodge, or use an item. Once the user has selected their action, a skippable 3D cutscene is shown depicted the battle sequence. Each unit has a limited number of attacks which each costs a certain amount of energy. If there is insufficient energy, the hero cannot attack.

Outside of missions, there is also a store where items can be purchased. Two types of items exist: equippable items and consumable items. Each hero can equip one equippable item at a time and it typically provides a stat boost. Consumable items are one time use and provide a temporary buff or replenishes stats when used in a mission.

Plot
During the aftermath of Anime Complex: Cross Arena 2020, the fallen knight Barago resurrects Juza Yumihari, a powerful nemesis of the Ninningers, and they form a legion with other evil forces to conquer all dimensions and universes they could and exact revenge against the superheroes of justice that continually thwarted the endless conquests of evil forces.

In contrast, a delinquent hero by the codename of Dragon ZERO-X gets drafted into an alliance of superheroes established to counter the coming threat, though he does not play along at first and take the conflict he is in seriously.
