South Park: The Fractured But Whole

The player and up three allies work together on one side of grid with enemies on the other. The grid can also have hazards like exploding barrels and "lava". Attacks can be boosted with well timed button presses and restore HP, There is also a status effect system with certain moves.

In this game, the player plays as the "New Kid", a fully customizable character with the choice of one of 10 hero archetypes being the Speedsters, the Brutalists, Blasters, Elementalists, Cyborgs, Psychics, Assassins, Gadgeteer, Plantmancer and Martial Artists though only 3 classes are available from the start. Each class has proficiencies and weaknesses and an Ultimate attack that can be used by filling the bar during battle with timed button presses. Attacks can be mixed and matched with classes after being sufficently learned.
