Yo-kai Watch Busters 2 is an expansion on the Oni-Busters gameplay that was first introduced in Yo-kai Watch 2. The game is an action role-playing game that is somewhat set in an open-world environment. The game takes up to four players that will face up against other Yo-kai and Boss Yo-kai, which in the game the player will play as a different Yo-kai and go around town in a beat 'em up action style fashion. Players will team up to form groups of four to take on all Yo-kai, including some bosses.
