Project D

Project D (プロジェクトD, Purojekuto D) is a 2D arcade fighting game developed by Ecole Software, French Bread and Bandai Namco Games and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment and SEGA. The game celebrates an anniversary of a crossover between two animes, Re:Zero and KonoSuba. It crosses over some characters from various anime series such as Hidan no Aria, Classroom of the Elite and Osomatsu-san. It is highly inspired by Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax, But with different characters and Namco stages instead of Sega.

An updated version of the game, titled Project D Ignition (プロジェクトD IGNITION, Purojekuto D Igunisshon) contains additional characters and more balanced gameplay.

Gameplay
Project D is a two-dimensional fighting game and a somewhat echo-game of Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax, in which two players fight against each using both a playable fighter character and an assist character. Fighting uses three main attack buttons: weak, medium, and strong, along with a support button used for summoning a player's assist character. After an assist character is summoned, players need to rebuild their support gauge before they can summon them again. By building the Climax Gauge with attacks, players can perform powerful Impact Skill attacks, and can also use Blast Icons to perform Blast Attacks, allowing them to escape from combos.

In the Ignition update, it adds another assist character slot, but for Blast only instead of Assist. A new system called Ignition is introduced, giving one character in each team a power-up after each round. From the second round on, if the same Ignition on the team's character from the previous round is reused, it gives an "Extra Ignition".

Characters
The initial roster features 18 playable characters and 26 assist characters from different anime series and the current roster is 28 playable characters and 39 assist characters. In the Ignition update, You can choose Julis, Ayato, Ikki and Stella as Playable and Assist characters, But you can't pick the same one of them as an Assist and Playable. The roster features characters among playable characters and assist characters that can be called while in the middle of a round to help the playable character in various ways. All characters are voiced by their respective actors from the anime adaptations, with a few exceptions. There is an option where you can choose six voice actors each that voiced Popuko and Pipimi in option mode, Two males and Two females.
