Gameplay

The fifth installment centers on a new Tag Action system that pairs two characters on a team, with three stances to pick from: offensive, defensive, and technical. Bankai activates once a fighter holds two Reiatsu bars and presses the L button. A Tag Master mode showcases paired battles with combined specials, fielding 32 characters in tag play plus extras imported from Heat the Soul 4 save data.
