Mahou Shoujo Cross All-Stars

"“Girls will kick your ass!” —The game's tagline" Mahou Shoujo Cross All-Stars (魔法少女クロスオールスターズ) is a beat-em-up game produced by Banpresto and published by Bandai Namco Games for the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch consoles. Released in Japan and Asian territories on December 10, 2019, celebrating the 65th anniversary of the Nakayoshi Magazine and the 15th anniversary of the Pretty Cure series, the game is a crossover between various "magical girl" anime and manga series released in Japan and the second installment of the ongoing Cross Crisis series.

Two editions of the game was released, a regular version and a Premium Anime Music Edition featuring vocalized themes and background music from the respective series.

Development
On January 18, 2019, Sam Imbecile, the director of the oncoming Namco X Capcom: Crisis, stated that he'll be directing another crossover game, this time centered around the "mahou shoujo" (magical girl) anime genre.

Gameplay
Cross All-Stars is a beat-em-up where the characters the player controls have to defeat enemies to gain experience, items and/or gold in order to progress in the stage and accomplish objectives to complete missions. There are 70 playable scenarios, with 30 side-quests scattered throughout the game.

In a stage, players control a Squad, a team of a maximum of four assigned members. The player takes direct control of the Squad Leader, while the CPU is in charge of the three other members. In drop-in drop-out cooperative, four players can have the option to take control of each member of the Squad, split-screen.

In addition to magical girls, some male characters are made available to be part of your Squad.
