My avatar stands firm in the aftermath of a flashy attack… Handy for when you just want to get through to the end… Meanwhile you hold down the unblockable Hado #90: Black Coffin move and absolutely destroy them in one hit. Some of the rock hard levels are easily defeated by just choosing Aizen, as he can erect a wall of energy using “Airtight”, a move that seemingly baffles the A.I, causing them to just block and then jump backwards a few times, or sometimes run into it and get flung back. Yuskue and his endless Spirit Gun spamming, clicked retry and then completely destroyed him with a Perfect, using the same characters and not really doing anything different. Sometimes it just gets hit by everything, other times it blocks until you give up and try to either hit a hard strike or throw it to negate the block, and then dodges past which ever you chose and nabs you in a combo string. Once you’ve done the story mode there’s just generic fights with often pointless rewards to do, getting increasingly more and more frustratingly difficult as it goes on…Īctually, that’s something else I’d like to mention: the A.I. That’s all there is, well, alongside offline fighting and online modes, though once again that’s just exhibition matches. No unique dialogue playing during battle, no travelling between areas, not even any boss battles, just silent, regular exhibition matches. Once again you have main story missions and side missions, but the side missions this time are literally just exhibition matches with sometimes random drops associated with them. This is what most of your later fights will look like… Once again you start the game by creating an Avatar to play as and you’re soon thrown into a world where many people like you hang out in a hub before going out in missions, except this time instead of the Time Patrol you’re a member of the “Jump Force” (or J-Force, as it’s often spoken aloud… and occasionally in the subtitles…) a group of warriors from different worlds who are working together to not only find out how this happened, but to stop your world from being destroyed by the same people. Have you played one of the Dragon Ball Xenoverse games? Well then, imagine that set up, but far fewer things to do. The super moves are a choice of three moves and an ultimate attack for each character, though the ultimate attack can only be used once you’ve built up enough meter, like most fighting games. You have a melee button that if pressed multiple times will lead you to do an auto-combo, a combo that often includes vanishing and reappearing suddenly above your flung opponent to strike them, Dragon Ball style, along with blocks and dodges and the like.
It’s 3-on-3 only, and oddly, the entire team shares a health bar and a super meter, meaning really there isn’t any reason to swap your fighters out, other than if you just fancy a change of moveset. The game is an “arena fighter”, meaning you can move freely around the 3D fighting space, and that space is often destructible. I’ve never watched or read City Hunter, but Ryo has one of the most enjoyable movesets in the game… Kane is just Hit from Dragon Ball Super, and Galena looks like she’s straight from the Xenoverse characters he’s already designed… As per usual, they mostly look like character he’s created before, making me think he didn’t really care about it. Light Yagami and his shinigami ally Ryuk from Death Note also appear in story cutscenes.ĭirector Glover, Kane and Galena are three new characters designed by Akira Toriyama of Dragon Ball fame. Made to celebrate Shonen Jump’s 50 th Anniversary, Jump Force features Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Future Trunks, Frieza and Cell from Dragon Ball, Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Sabo, Boa Hancock and Blackbeard from One Piece, Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi, Gaara, Kaguya and Bortuo from Naruto (and Boruto…), Ichigo, Rukia, Aizen and Renji from Bleach, Jotaro and Dio from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Yusuke and Toguro from YuYu Hakusho, Gon, Killua, Kurapika and Hisoka from Hunter X Hunter, Kenshin and Makoto from Rurouni Kenshin, Seiya and Shiryu from Saint Seiya, and finally, Kenshiro, Ryo, Dai, Yugi, Asta and Izuku from Fist of the North Star, City Hunter, Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Black Clover and My Hero Academia, respectively.

With such an endless wealth of things to use and play with, how does a company fail to deliver? Well, let’s find out, shall we!
