Project L Gameplay
The gameplay we’ve seen so far for Project L suggests it will involve putting together the flashiest combos and reducing your opponents’ health in the most creative yet efficient ways. Project L seems to have a support character system in place to help in executing these insane life-draining combos. You can use this feature to tag in a supporting character to unleash powerful attacks that will aid you throughout a battle and lengthen your combinations. To give your main character some breathing room, you can also tag in your backup partner to take over the fight.
