NCS Product Synopsis
Update: October 01, 2009
«©NCSX»
Comic book crossovers are
special because they're rare and (usually) once in a
lifetime events. We're still waiting for Donald Duck
Meets Spiderman and Doc Savage but maybe in our next
lifetime. Video game crossovers are doubly special
since they unite characters that would never
otherwise be seen in the same gaming universe.
X Edge (Cross Edge) is the
result of a collaboration between five publishers -
Capcom, Namco Bandai, Idea Factory, Gust, and Nippon
Ichi. Characters from properties published by all
five companies will be joined by original cast
members designed for the game. Familiar faces from
the gaming fold include Marie the Atelier,
Morrigan, Demitri, and Felicia from Vampire,
Etna and her Prinnies of Disgaea fame,
and Aurica, Misha, and Shurelia from Ar
Tonelico. The cast of Spectral Souls
is also in attendance to round out the bustling
crowd of characters.
Battles are viewed from a side perspective where the party stands
to the right of the screen and faces off against
enemies on the left. Moves are shown in fluid motion
where the characters rush forward and swing their
swords. Combination attacks and special moves are
shown by way of blazing sequences where multiple
hits are tracked and the amount of damage each hit
incurs is counted. When Felicia fights, she'll
perform rolling attacks and pounce on hapless
enemies like a red-blooded feline.
X-Edge was originally released on the Playstation 3 in September
2008 and publisher Compile Heart showers the game on
Japanese Xbox 360 owners this week. X-Edge Dash
includes a new Colosseum Mode along with new in-game
events, new character skills, and downloadable
content from the Xbox Live network.
