Pressing each character's corresponding button causes them to switch places with the previously controlled character, move into range to use their psych, and activate it. Each psych is associated with a particular controller button. Each character has access to a variety of psychs but can only equip one at a time. Instead, the game uses a team of between two and six characters the number changes at different points in the story. The player's choice of partner does not alter the game mechanic, and there is no concept of the puck. There is no parallel dimension in which partners operate. They do not play as actual tactical area control games, but as story devices however, during a Scramble Slam an additional scoring mechanism is added to combat.Ĭombat is changed completely and is now a 3D third-person melee-based subgame. There are three Scramble Slams in the game. An area can be claimed by erasing the orange Turf Noise or taking down the rival team members in an area.

The Scramble Slam is a citywide turf war that has teams of Players vying for control of areas in Shibuya. Orange Turf Noise must be defeated to conquer areas during Scramble Slams. Nagi Usui's ability Dive is also significant as it provides access to pre-scripted chained combats which award friendship points (see below) based on how quickly they are completed. Previous points in time become visitable destinations and can be revisited as many times as necessary travelling to a time that was previously visited does not undo what you have done there before. Of particular note is Rindo's ability Replay to travel in time, which is often used to go back and modify events that happened on an earlier playthrough of a day. Unlike the original, the player must string together two words to progress.Įach character also has a separate ability to be used in Exploration mode, which will usually modify the ongoing story or provide access to a new area to explore or a new combat. Imprinting and memes return, although they are no longer called 'memes' and are now known as 'keywords'. Noise battles can be chained as in the previous game for greater rewards, although it is necessary to move Rindo to the locations of the Noise within a limited time, rather than simply tapping them as in the original. Upon going near a Noise while scanning, they will begin to chase Rindo and initiate a battle. Scanning returns and functions much like it did originally. Environments in the game are now rendered in cel-shaded 3D, although the game features 2D artwork such as character portraits.
