Gameplay

This 2D fighter builds on its predecessor with fresh faces, new moves for returning characters, and extra modes, lifting the roster to 44. Its defining feature is the Reifu card system on the touch screen, which now shows four cards at once rather than two, and it supports Wi-Fi multiplayer battles.

Story

The exclusive campaign opens just after Aizen abandons Soul Society, during a festival. A batch of special Mod Souls escapes the Research and Development Department, and one of them, Kai, assumes a human form and leads the others astray, with several turning into Hollow copies that stir up chaos across the Seireitei.
