Gameplay
Narikiri Dungeon X will utilize the Cross Arts Aerial Linear Motion Battle System (XAR-LMBS) which is a tweaked version of the series' Linear Motion Battle System which is used in almost every game in the series though each game features its own unique version of the LMBS. Battles take place in a 3D environment with 2D character sprites. The two main characters of the game Dio and Mel can change into any of the clothes they are given, depending on the clothes the characters can change skills and obtain certain equipment. For example Dio can change into Samurai and Shinobi clothes while Mel can change into Nurse and Witch clothes. The game will feature a total of about 80 costumes.

Development
The game was originally teased on March 3, 2010 in the Japanese magazine, Jump. It was officially unveiled in the March 10, 2010 issue of Jump. Prior to that Japanese illustrator, Kazuyoshi Nagiyuma, who previously worked on Tales of Vesperia said that he had just finished doing illustrations for Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon R, which has been presumably renamed to Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon X.
