Namco X Capcom is an action-based tactical role-playing video game developed by Namco and features characters from both Namco and Capcom titles. The story follows two original characters, Reiji Arisu and Xiaomu, who are part of a special team known as Shinra. Their mission is to investigate supernatural and otherworldly phenomena. The game blends elements of action RPG and tactical RPG gameplay. Movement takes place on a grid system, with turn order determined by which character has the highest Action Points. During the player's turn, they can maneuver their character into position and select an enemy to attack.
The game follows two original characters, Arisu Reiji and Xiaomu, who are members of a covert group called "Shinra" that handles supernatural events. Prior to the game's events, Shinra thwarted a scheme by the "Ouma" organization to generate "fluctuations" that would open interdimensional portals, though this victory came at the cost of Reiji's father's life. A decade later, Reiji and Xiaomu are tracking new fluctuations emerging in Shibuya, Tokyo, where they soon uncover that characters and places from various worlds and eras are beginning to merge, with "Ouma" operative Saya—connected to Reiji's father's death—playing a key role.
