Cross Chaos

Cross Chaos is a 2.5D crossover fighting game developed by Orange Soft and published by ACS, SBEntertainment, Multisoft/Burst Arts, Team Clarent Project and Psonic. It is the final installment of the Cross Code series and ACS' fourth crossover game overall. Released for the Arcade (nex System), Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation Vita and the Samsung Zeo. It will feature characters from ACS, SBEntertainment, Multisoft/Burst Arts and Team Clarent Project franchises.

The game later rteceived an update in the form of Cross Chaos: Strike, which added new characters and stages, as well as rebalanced some characters. Released for Arcades (nex System), PlayStation 4, Xbox ONE, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation Vita and the Samsung Zeo.

Gameplay
The game plays similar to previous titles in the Cross Code series, featuring the tag system and several gameplay mechanics from previous XCode titles, as well as some new features.

The game uses an interchangeable 6 button system. At the start of the game, the player can choose between two button systems.


 * Standard: Three buttons for light, medium and heavy attacks, one button for blowback attacks and two buttons for switching between characters. Specials and Drives are performed using button combinations.


 * Compressed: Two buttons for light and heavy attacks, one button for special moves, one for throwing and two buttons for switching between characters. Specials are performed by pressing a direction and the special button. Burst Drives are performed by perssing qcf+S or qcb+S. Cross Drives are performed by pressing qcf+T1/T2. Chaos Drives are performed by pressing qcf(x2)+S. Advanced techniques like X-Cancels cannot be done in Compressed mode.

As with the previous games, each player has a Burst Meter used for performing Burst Drives (super arts), as well as a Defense meter that decreases each time the player blocks attacks. When the Defense Meter is depleted, the player will be put in a “Guard Crush” state, which will leave the player stunned for a few seconds, allowing for counterattack, and would also increase the player's chp damage by 1.5% until the Defense meter fully replenishes. The game also features a Switch meter, a three-level meter that decreases each time the player switches characters.

When the Burst Meter is filled up to a certain level, the player can perform a Cross Drive, which allows the player to perform two or all three of their characters’ Burst Drives simultaneously. A Duo Cross Drive is performed by pressing qcf(x2)+T1/T2, and would cost 2 stocks of the Burst Meter, as well as two levels of the Switch meter, while a Team Cross Drive is performed by pressing qcf(x2)+T1 & T2, and would cost 3 stocks of the burst meter, as well as a full Switch meter. Several pairings, like Kiyo/Twilight and Logan/Amira have their own specialized Cross Drives.

Meanwhile, the Chaos Drive is a special type of Burst Drive that costs 3 stocks of the Burst Meter. Most Chaos Drives are cinematic attacks that are triggered by one hit and are extremely powerful.

The game features a “Cross Rave” system, which replaces the Aura mode from the previous title. Cross Rave activates a special mode that grant the player certain buffs (like increased attack power, improved speed, etc.). Some Cross Raves feature the character transforming into a form that they took in their source series, for example, Twilight activating her True Vile Blood and Siegmar turning into Siegmar Umbra, while some Cross Raves do not feature the character transforming at all, but still evokes special effects, like Kiyo and Yuuno activating their Eyes of Future Death, which turns the background into red. Cross Raves can be performed by pressing all four attack buttons (L+M+H+B), and automatically drains the entire Burst Meter. The more Cross Meter stocks a player has, the longer the Cross Rave lasts.

Another notable feature is the “Crash Breaker”, which, similar to the Vita Break in Crisis Moon, allows players to escape combos using a quick flash attack that blows opponents back. Chaos Breakers are performed by pressing L+M+H while being attacked and automatically depletes the player's recoverable health. Unlike the Vita Break, Crash Breakers deal a small amount of damage to the opponent upon contact, but does not defeat an opponent. The more recoverable health a player has, the more damage they can deal with a Crash Breaker.

The game also features “Special Assists”, which are characters that the player can summon during the match for help. Upon each usage, the player cannot use another assist until the assist is fully “recharged”. Several assist recharge quickly, while some last up to 10 seconds before being fully recharged. Special Assists are performed by pressing M+H simultaneously. Each Assist is divided into four groups:


 * Striker: Assists that perform certain melee attacks that deal damage to the opponent. (Ralph, Shou)


 * Shooter: Assists that perform projectile attacks that deal damage to the opponent. (Aileen, Kristoff)


 * Counter: Assist that act as a shield which, when attacked, would then counter with its own attack. (Noir, Musashi)


 * Helper: Assists that do not attack at all, but instead help the player out by refilling their health or Burst meter. (MiU)

Cross Chaos uses cel-shaded 3D models coupled with 60fps frame movement. And with the 2D-style gameplay, the game creates a 2D-esque illusion.

Types
The Code system returns from Cross Code-X2, now renamed as “Types”. Types no longer use different meter types. Instead, Type are now separated by their utility.

Story
Near the end of the previous game, the Xros Universe was once again brought into near-destruction after the resurrection of Kaos, now more powerful than before. It took the sacrifice of one of the strongest nations in the entire Xros Universe, as well as that of Ange, the guardian of Enerjia, to finally defeat Kaos and seal off all the Enerjia and Omnia remaining in the world, so as not to create another disaster.

In the meantime, the Xros Universe had slowly began to rebuild themselves. The two remaining factions, the ACS nation and the Clarent empire, decided to reconcile, and have since created a strong bond with one another. Meanwhile, new independent nations began to appear once again, the SBE federation, the Multisoft-Burst union and the confederacy of Psonic being some of the most notable ones. At long last, peace had finally arrived in the Xros Universe.

But for how long?

Years later, several scientists have eventually found what appears to be the remains of Enerjia and Omnia, buried deep into the core of the Earth. This brand-new discovery attracted the attention of several people, including the ruthless Damocles, the Darkling queen Tangram, the mysterious cult-like organization known as “the Creed”, and the universal warmonger Malgan Tomentradi. After meeting up with one another, they then create a plan together, so that they can get their hands on said power sources and use them for their own intentions.

Hearing about this plan, Hotaru Mikoto, now a lone wolf with a missing arm and a darker, more mature personality following the death of her mentor and friend Eddie Wayland, decided to start a resistance group alongside the strongest warriors from all sides of the Xros Universe, in hopes of stopping the impending chaos as the evilest of evils join forces.

But nothing can get them prepared for the forthcoming awakening… of the final chaos.
