CAPCOM VS SQUARE: Parallel Destinies is a non-profit crossover fighting game currently in development using the I.K.E.M.E.N. GO engine. The project is designed as a 1v1, four-button fighter that draws inspiration from the gameplay feel of Marvel vs. Capcom and Capcom vs. SNK, aiming to capture the look and flow of classic 90s Capcom fighters.
The game brings together characters from Capcom and SquareSoft in a conflict set within the Void. At launch, the roster includes six base characters, four secret characters, and two bosses, Exdeath as the “Void Master” and Jedah Dohma as the “Dark King”.
Gameplay systems include running and back dashing, recovery rolls, parry and guard parry mechanics, super jumps, and a Magic Series-style combo system. The goal is to offer something that is easy to pick up while still rewarding experienced players.
Unlike many typical M.U.G.E.N-style projects, Parallel Destinies follows a cohesive, planned design approach. Characters are built to work within a shared system, with a large portion of the cast featuring original sprite work. Visual design, stages, UI, and music are all curated to give the project a consistent identity.
The soundtrack is composed by J.G. of GenesisKeys, and online play is supported through I.K.E.M.E.N. GO’s built-in netplay functionality. Overall, Parallel Destinies stands out as a focused passion project that pays clear homage to classic crossover fighters while carving out its own identity.
