Cross Code: Project Ultimate Versus Battle

Template:Infobox VG

**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 ACS, In-Verse Productions and GameCom. Released for the Arcade (System 203: ATLANTIS), Samsung Zeo, GigaCom, Wii U, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita. It will feature characters from Orange Soft, GameCom and In-Verse franchises.

The Game's Ratings are: ESRB: T, PEGI: 16, CERO: B, ACB: M.

## Gameplay

The game features the same tag/switch system as its predecessor ACS 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:

* Standard style: Three buttons for light, medium and heavy attacks, one for special moves and two additional buttons for switching between characters.
* Compressed style: Two buttons for light and heavy attacks, one for special moves, one for throws and two additional buttons for switching between characters.

The game features a new "Switch Meter", located just above the X-Meter, that decreases as the player changes characters and fill us just 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 until the meter has at least one level replenished. This is done to avoid the cheap infinite switch combos from last game.

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 amount 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 instead be accessed when the player's HP is depleted by almost half. Most Ultima Drives are comboable.

The game uses cel-shaded 3D models coupled with 60fps frame movement. And with the 2D-style gameplay, the game creates a 2D-esque illusion.

### Codes

The "style" system from the last game is revamped, with the new Code system. There are four "codes" to choose from, each with their own abilities, advantages and disadvantages:

* α-Code: Three-level, Abilities: Double Airdash, Quick Flash Step, G-Cancel
* β-Code: Two-level, Abilities: Reflecting Guard, Fast Hit Recovery, Air Absolute Guard
* γ-Code: Singular, Abilities: Charge Attack, Guard Counter, Down Strike
* δ-Code: Stackable (up to five), Abilities: G-Cancel, Guard Counter, Air Absolute Guard

## Story

The game takes place in the same Xros Universe as its predecessor. After the events of the first game, the Xros Universe grew larger and larger, attracting 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.

However, the rampant war and chaos soon awakened the ancient evil known as Kaos, the embodiment of all the world's sins, thought to be sealed inside the Xros Universe.

With the awakening of Kaos, a question arises: who will succeed in obtaining the unlimited power of Enerjia?: will it be ACS, In-Verse or GameCom?.

## Update

**Cross Code: Project Ultimate Versus Battle XF (eXtra Fighting)** is an update of Cross Code. Cross Code XF includes the DLC characters from the start and contains additional content such as new moves, redesigned stages and additional characters.

## Covers/Flyers

The cover for the game resembles the cover of J-Stars Victory VS. At the front are the three main representatives of the three companies: Vanessa in the left smiling and doing a pose similar to the one seen in the cover of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure #4, Yuko in the middle reaching out her hand, smiling with one of her eyes closed as electric currents surround her and Jared in the right about to punch. Behind them are a bunch of characters appearing in the game. The logo of the game is located below the characters in the Japanese version and above them in the US and European versions.

## Soundtrack

*See also: XCode: Ultimate Versus Battle Soundtrack*
## Trivia

* The Japan and US versions of the game will receive different songs in its intro: "Donten" by Does in the Japanese version, and "Invincible" by Adelitas Way for the US version. Both versions of the opening are available as unlockable items in the game's Gallery mode.
* Each character's color palette #7 and #10 is a reference to other characters (The First is related to a company's character, and the second refers to a pop culture character). The color list for ACS and In-Verse can be seen here (incomplete) and here.
* Due to the nature of some characters, some of their personality are altered to avoid changes in the game's rating, and some of the already spoiler characters are also affected as such.
* Originally, Cross Code was supposed to be a 4-way crossover with ACS, GameCom, In-Verse and Megadream. However, the developers were unable to score a deal with Megadream, resulting in the current three-way crossover.
* The game was awarded "Game Idea of the Year" in the 2015 Game Ideas Wiki Awards.
