Gameplay

The game is a hack and slash brawler where the square button strings together melee combos, triangle unleashes spirit attacks that consume spiritual pressure, and circle triggers special moves. An ignition gauge fills during battle, and activating it with L2 triples the power of a character's attacks for a limited time. The roster spans 21 playable characters, most of them drawn from the manga's Arrancar arc, including Ichigo Kurosaki, Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez, and Ulquiorra Cifer.
