You can do light and heavy attacks, grabs, special attacks, ultimate attacks, evades, and transformations.

Like many anime games, Jump Force is a 3D arena fighter that has two teams of three try to defeat one another with huge special attacks in a destructible environment. Jump ForceвЂ™s gameplay can be quite fun, though it isnвЂ™t particularly deep or enthralling in the long-term.

This is the kind of interaction that I really like to see in crossover games, as it makes sense contextually and satisfies fans of both franchises. Watching Naruto compare Black CloverвЂ™s Asta to Rock Lee, both of whom lack the super-power that their respective worlds thrive on, is heart-warming, as is seeing Kakashi try to reign in Yu Yu HakushoвЂ™s Yusuke Urameshi as he runs makeshift classes at the base. Thankfully, thereвЂ™s some fun fanservice here and there to somewhat make up (very, very slightly) for the disappointing story. It all feels messy and rushed, which is truly an absolute shame. Mouth movements rarely fit their lines, and in a very strange case, Ryuk (LightвЂ™s companion) is completely silent, despite his subtitled lines. ThereвЂ™s a scene in the story where Freeza is supposed to fly upwards into a portal, but it looks as though his model, in its idle position, is simply sliding upwards in a hilariously awkward fashion. Then thereвЂ™s the animations, which are unnatural and occasionally seemingly non-existent. This makes the characters look like theyвЂ™re in Disney World mascot suits, as lines of every emotion are conveyed with the same plastic face and exaggerated body gestures. The pseudo-realistic visual style that Jump Force has works against any form of facial expression. The cutscenes are a whole other story, as they range from stiff to horribly buggy. вЂњ Then thereвЂ™s the animations, which are unnatural and occasionally seemingly non-existent.вЂњ

ItвЂ™s a disappointing story all around, making it a complete slog to get through after completing the first few chapters, even for the most dedicated Jump fans. The one interesting storyline, which follows Death NoteвЂ™s Light Yagami as he manipulates everybody, has no real payoff. It drags on and on until you reach the end, which hits you with a needless plot-twist and an overpowered boss fight. This story could have been a lot of schlocky fun if done right, but it quickly devolves into battling clones of villains and generic enemy grunts in an effort to protect the world. A mysterious force has recruited some of JumpвЂ™s greatest villains to help him merge our world with the world of Jump, meaning itвЂ™s up to you and the heroes of Jump to save both worlds. Jump ForceвЂ™s story revolves around you, the reader, who becomes a Jump hero after being nearly killed by Dragon BallвЂ™s villainous Freeza. The story squanders all this potential in two major ways: its boring narrative and awful cutscenes. The story features original characters designed by Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama, and features some of the best characters in any anime or manga. The story of Jump Force is itвЂ™s unfortunate lowest point, which came as a surprise to me. Basically, I love Jump, and I desperately hoped I would love Jump Force, so it pains me to say that Jump Force is a rushed and janky mess.

I made a short YouTube series about J-Stars Victory Vs., and imported it using the scant funds from my high school part-time job. I played the Japanese Nintendo DS crossover games ( Jump Super Stars and Jump Ultimate Stars, amazing games by the way) for countless hours as a teenager, despite my inability to understand Japanese. IвЂ™ve got shelves of Jump magazines, manga volumes, and figures from most of the series represented in Jump Force. Shonen Jump manga is simply one of my favorite things in the world. I think itвЂ™s fair to say that few people were as excited for Jump Force as I was.

Platforms: PS4 (reviewed), Xbox One, and PC While the gameplay can be fun for short periods at a time, the painfully rushed story and awful visuals make it difficult to recommend Jump Force to any but the most dedicated Jump fans. Jump Force is an unfortunately messy anime fighter that doesnвЂ™t quite nail style or substance.
