Cross Code: Project Ultimate Versus Battle

Cross Code: Project Ultimate Versus Battle (typecast as XCode: Project Ultimate Versus Battle) is a 2.5D crossover fighting game developed by Orange Soft and published by both Orange Soft, In-Verse Productions and GameCom. Released for the Arcade, Samsung Zeo, GigaCom, Wii U, XBox ONE, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita. It will feature characters from Orange Soft, GameCom and In-Verse franchises.

Gameplay
The game features the same tag/switch system as its predecessor Orange Soft x GameCom: Clash of Two Universes, with the addition of a new trio team mode.

The game uses an interchangeable 6-button system. At the start of the game, the player can choose between two control schemes: The game features a new "Switch Meter", located just above the X-Meter, that decreases as the player changes characters and fill us justs as easily. Each switch attempt consumes one part of the three-level Switch meter, so when the Switch meter is depleted,  the player cannot switch unltil the meter has at least one level replenished. This is done to avoid the cheap infinte switch combos from last game.
 * Standard style: Three buttons for light, medium and heavy attacks, one for blocking and two additional buttons for switching between characters.
 * Compressed style: Two buttons for light and heavy attacks, one for special moves, one for blocking and two additional buttons for switching between characters.

Other new game play features include "Breakers", which works like the "Vita Break" in the Crisis Moon series, performed by pressing L+M+H+S simultaneously, and automatically depletes the Guard gauge for a certain aount of time. Pressing a switch button during the Breaker will allow the player to switch in the middle of the Breaker animation. However, pressing both switch buttons will activate X-Mode instead (see below).

X-Mode is a special mode that powers up the player's attacks and allows them to perform unlimited Burst Drives and Cross Drives for a certain amount of time. Performed by pressing all six buttons at any point during the match. Can only be used once per match.

The Ultima Drive is an extremely powerful attack that can only be used once per match by the remaining character, when both partners are knocked out, during full meter X-Mode. When playing solo, Ultima Drives can insted be accessed when the player's HP is depleted by almost half. Most Ultima Drives are comboable.

Story
The game takes placce in the same Xros Universe as its predecessor. After the events of the first game, the Xros Universe grew larger and larger, atraccting other universes such as the In-Verse galaxy. One day, a great power source, Enerjia, was found beneath the core of the Xros Universe. With the discovery of Enerjia, and the infinite possibilities that came with it, the people of the Xros Universe are thrust into a war for the power of Enerjia. Some search for the power for their own good, while some seek to change the world with it. And so the stage is set: who will succeed in obtaining the unlimited power of Enerjia?: will it be Orange Soft, In-Verse or GameCom?.
