About
Namco X Capcom is an action tactical role-playing game developed by Namco and Capcom, featuring characters from games produced by both companies. The story focuses on the original characters Reiji Arisu and Xiaomu, who work for a special unit called Shinra. Their mission is to investigate spirits and other supernatural disturbances.
The game combines action and tactical role-playing elements. Characters move across a square grid, while turn order is determined by which character has the highest AP. During a turn, players can move a character into position and choose to attack an enemy.
Storyline
The story centers on two original characters, Arisu Reiji and Xiaomu, agents of the secret organization Shinra, which handles supernatural occurrences. Before the events of the game, Shinra stopped the Ouma organization's plan to create "fluctuations" capable of opening portals between worlds, but Reiji's father died as a result.
Ten years later, Reiji and Xiaomu investigate new fluctuations appearing in Shibuya, Tokyo. They soon discover that characters and locations from different worlds and time periods are converging. Saya, an Ouma agent connected to the death of Reiji's father, is also involved.
