![]() ![]() From the Jump Force HQ, which acts as your freely-explorable hub, you go out on missions, pick up quests, and upgrade your abilities. You play as your own custom character, and in very Dragon Ball XenoVerse fashion, you team up with an organisation (named Jump Force, of course) that comprises of heroes from throughout Jump history in order to save the world. The same could be said of the story, although as we've established, 'flashiness' isn't the right word to use when the game looks this confused. Once you're past the surface-level flashiness, it all gets just a bit repetitive. Jump Force will drop you into some rudimentary training simulations at the start but outside of these, youll get the hang of things quickly. It's not difficult to figure out how the most damaging combos work and put them into practice, and even though each character comes with their own unique special moves, they generally play with the same rhythm and flow. That's not necessarily a bad thing for an accessible fighter like this, but it does mean that the gameplay loses a lot of its lustre after a while. But without a concise direction and a battle system that’s lacking in nearly every regard, Jump Force is a major disappointment that I’ll certainly remember for all of the wrong reasons.Again, though, there's no obvious depth to the combat in Jump Force. The roster is admittedly impressive, and seeing the slew of characters at your disposal is cool every single time. But with plenty of other great anime-based games on the market, I’d recommend starting with something that respects its source material better. If you’re purely looking for a game that’ll let you beat the crap out of your friends as iconic anime characters, there’s definitely some fun to be had in Jump Force. There is one diamond in the rough though: the hub world’s music is really catchy. Instead, we get a weirdly Marvel-style soundtrack that in my opinion just doesn’t fit at all. Again, Jump Force doesn’t include any music from the original series it has at its disposal. How can we talk about iconic anime without music though? It’s nearly impossible. Jump Force is a major disappointment that I’ll certainly remember for all of the wrong reasons. Jump Force is a fun fighting game with its different mash up of anime rosters and the fighting system similar to the naruto games but throughout only 8 to 15. I’m sorry, but I really don’t think it’s cool seeing Goku run around New York City outside of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Sometimes it only feels like the game is set in our world to justify having a custom character. ![]() You could probably come up with some crap about a custom avatar for the player to create. Uniting to fight the most dangerous threat.9.99 to 19. If it were up to me, I think it would’ve been vastly more interesting to have a game where only the worlds of Shonen Jump crossed over. For the first time ever, the most famous Manga heroes are thrown into a whole new battleground: our world. There are only a handful of maps that are actually based on the Shonen Jump characters. This means that a large majority of the stages are famous locations like New York City, Hong Kong, Mexico, etc. With such a large roster it’s understandable that it’s difficult to acquire all of these voice actors who are responsible for decades of iconic anime, but it’s still disappointing nonetheless.Įssentially, the story has the world of Shonen Jump entering our own. Funny enough, some of the voiced scenes will have silent characters for what I assume was voice actors they couldn’t get back to reprise their roles.
