A new clip from Bayonetta 2’s Tag Climax mode can be found above. You’ll also find a summary of information below, which includes a few bits about the Fox McCloud costume.

Fox McCloud costume

– Game refers to it as Star Mercenary
– If you select the guns, the weapons change into Arwing-shaped blasters
– Slash with them
– If you perform a combo, the classic Star Fox shooting sound emits
– Lock-on cursor is the one from Star Fox

Tag Climax

– Cooperative competitive mode
– Each character works together to defeat hordes of enemies while also striving to get the most points
– Each match has 6 missions
– The ones that you can choose are unlocked throughout the game
– These are formed from previous encounters in the story mode and put on a new spin on them to make a bit more challenging
– Choose the amount of Halos to bet beforehand
– Bet more Halos to increase the chaotic nature of the battle
– If the other person falls down and you don’t revive your opponent in 15 seconds, you both lose automatically
– All the Halos you earned in previous missions are worthless and you have to start over
– Play with friends or random opponents
– If you don’t have many online friends, you are kind of forced to play it against the computer
– Can’t play locally
