In-Verse All-Stars Versus is an upcoming 2017 Tactical Crossover RPG by In-Verse Team Zero and is the 10th entry of the All-Stars/Heroes series, it is the in-name only sequel of the very massive 2015's In-Verse All-Stars Legends because it balances the roster to a shorter, less broken roster and returns to the basics from 2013's In-Verse All-Stars: Starry Sky Story, this game comes to consoles only, this game commemorates the fifth anniversary of the In-Verse Heroes/All-Stars label.
This is the first crossover written solely by Pauly-kun as past games were written by the team, it also has the combination of the Namco X Capcom and Project X Zone 2 formula.
Guest Characters from ACS Softworks and Red appear in this game.
Gameplay
The game play uses grid-based locations, from many titles. Each Player Unit is made either a paired or a single one (with less attack power with higher defense), and another option is combining the three together, they can move freely in the map within their range.
Unlike Starry Sky Story, you can choose the desirable units list, with those listed in green and solos in yellow (With some obligatory exceptions in some characters, listed in red, and solos are in blue), but in the other hand, unlike Legends, the game is linear and not free to recruit, instead, it is for default.
The game's attacks are a direction in the pad and the Triangle/X/Y, Circle/A/B, and X/B/A, with the Square/Y/X being the one who access to the MAP Attack/Limit Break is a burst gauge is full, Rivals are also capable to have a burst gauge with their Enemy Attack, there are also Fusion between more units in certain cases to do an "Ultimate Assault".
The game has forty-six normal stages and five prologues, and a epilogue, making a total of fifty-two stages.
Story
Dr. Murakumo Kusanagi tries to solve his personal dilemma, how to defeat the "Warriors of Chaos", an organization who caused destruction in other worlds.

He called many heroes of the different times to help him, he made a Time Machine with the intention to teleport them at different eras, he also recruited three new heroes, unknown to everyone else.
The Warriors of Chaos find out what Kusanagi is doing, they hire the villains of the "In-Verse", however, some of them are working by their own will.

Censorship/Changes
- Rhyme's lines were altered to be less depraved than in the game of origin.
- The swearing was reduced, with Valeria, Marcel, the FoD reps, the mature games characters and the Zero Crew being the most affected.
- Yana lacks her panty shot of her gameplay in her game of origin.
- In the Japanese version, Keith and Lancelot are fully dressed in their Ultimate Assault, whereas in the western versions, they're shirtless as in throwback of Part 5.
- G.A.R.Y. used to have a "fart" attack, but changed into a "steam" attack.
- Allusions to Smiley Drugs will be subtle given the age rating of the game.
- Lizandro's subtext with Aria will be given minimum exposition possible.
- Divine's and Nova's innuendo were cut altogether.
Trivia
- This is the first game with Japanese voices due to the fact that it will be published first in Japan thanks to the collaboration from ACS Softworks to anticipate the release of the arcade game Cross Code-X2: Project Unlimited Versus Battle. (The First and Last In-Verse Game ever to do so.)
- This game marks the first time that an Opening theme will show the secret characters.
- Some of the characters heights, weights and Blood Types are altered for unknown reasons, or due to forgotten info by the developers.
- Due to contstraints some VA's are replaced:
- Jubilee goes from Inori Minase to Mitsuki Saiga
- The Shades of Destiny, Dynamite Dancer, Aura's Blade and many non-localized protagonists weren't voiced in Japanese.
- Junko Takeuchi voices FEAST Comet, she didn't voiced it until the Zeo and GigaCom remasters of the first game.
- This is the first game that every member of the Time Masters Cult talk in Japanese.
- The game will change some things as of the other two previous:
- Sienna and Blake are in their canon attires.
- The Arcana Warriors are in their Howling Soul attires.
- Neo Formula Racing representatives are in The New Challengers versions instead of the Dynamite Blaze versions that Jet Dark had in Starry Sky Story.
- The Adventures of Vanessa heroines are in their Wind of the Night and the rest are in their Fourth to the Seventh games versions.
- The VSRFX cast are generally from The Raven Crest except for Kira and Xavier that they're in their Origins attire, and the ages are from the third game.
