Is Namco x Capcom still worth playing in 2026?
A crossover tactical RPG from Monolith Soft and Namco, Namco x Capcom gathers a crowd of characters from both publishers in turn based battles punctuated by fighting game style combos to execute on the right timing. The well handled tribute, the generosity of the cast and the dynamic combo system appeal to connoisseurs. The excessive length, the repetition and the language barrier weigh. A niche crossover for fans of Japanese tactical RPGs and the intertwined history of Namco and Capcom.
