Unlike Project X Zone 1 and 2, some chapters will include at least one stage with different enemies and bosses to face. In battle, players use well-timed attacks and combos to do as much damage to the opponent as possible before their turn ends.

Characters are paired up into Pair Units, with Solo Units consisting of a single character able to assist them when linked together. Like its prequels, players strategically maneuver their characters across a field to battle with the enemy.
