Bandai VS. Compile Heart

Bandai VS. Compile Heart (バンダイ VS.コンパイルハート, Bandai VS. Konpairuhāto) is a 2D crossover fighting game developed by Compile Heart and Arc System Works and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment and Idea Factory.

Released for PlayStation 4 and Nintentdo Switch. It features characters from various Compile Heart's franchies (including Date A Live) and Bandai's licenses to several Japanese media franchises.

Gameplay
Like BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle, Bandai vs. Compile Heart is a 2D fighting game that puts the focus on tag team mechanics. In its main modes players battle in 2-vs-2 matches: they control one of the two selected characters at a time, and are able to switch between them on command. In addition to the standard fighting game meter that is expended to perform special and EX moves, the game features another resource: the assist meter. If they have enough, players can also have the second character use assist attacks to extend combos, keep the opponent away, or alternatively use all meter on "Cross Burst" to escape from dangerous situations. Similar to Marvel vs. Capcom, even if one character on the team loses all of their health, the match continues until both are down.

To accommodate for the tag mechanics and make characters easier to learn, the controls were simplified compared to mainline BlazBlue games and BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle. In addition, each character was given some universal options, such as an overhead with the heavy button, invincible reversal attack, and auto combos.
