After Frieza escapes, you’re taken to a hidden base called Umbras that houses members of the Jump Force, which is made up of various fighters from the Jump Worlds. It’s a nice touch that lets your character stand out just a bit more. Trunks said it was the only way to keep us alive, so why should we question our time traveling friend? This prompts the character creation, which I had fun messing around with as soon as I see the option to change both eye colors separately in any game, I jump at it and take advantage. It involves implanting something called an umbras cube, which has incredible power in it.
During a battle between Goku and Frieza, an unseen civilian is fatally injured, and the only way to save them is a procedure that transforms them into a hero. Now, the story has an interesting concept, but it doesn’t seem implemented as well as it could have been. That being said, even though it can be a bit repetitive (which is expected in a game like this), the combat is still pretty enjoyable. Having that backup that you’re good with is a nice safety net for testing out someone new. It feels like it deters people from trying out new fighters, because if they get beat down and need to switch back to someone they know, they have that disadvantage of the shared health. It doesn’t ruin the game, but it does bring things down a bit. It should represent their teammate tagging in to help them out rather than them having a weird connected life. In team fighters, swapping to a new character should be like granting a second chance. Sure, you can hold down L2 to call in a teammate for a quick attack, but when you press L2 to swap, you’re stuck with the same amount of health. In this game however, it feels more like you have one character with three different forms. This gives you the feeling of a true team of three working together to win.

I played J-Stars Victory VS back on the PS3 and really enjoyed it, especially since each member had their own health bar. On the other hand, if you want to save the energy, you can press R3 when it fills completely to gain stat boosts as the bar drains.įights take place in a three against three format, but there’s an odd choice with that: your entire team shares the same health bar. Once it reaches 50% or more, you can use your ultimate with R2 and X. As for ultimates, there’s a small meter in the diamond surrounding your character that fills as you give and receive damage. The bar can only reach a five stack maximum, which is more than enough to use several moves before you need to build it up again. Energy is charged up by holding down R2 to perform a charging move similar to charging Ki in the Dragon Ball Z games.
Special attacks cost energy to use, which is shown in a meter directly under the health bar. These can be anything from Deku’s Detroit Smash to Boa Hancock’s Pistol Kiss to Yusuke’s Spirit Gun and more. Each character has three special attacks they can be activated by holding down R2 and pressing either square, triangle, or circle. Circle is used to grab, which is typically best used to deal with a guarded foe. You can pull off combos with square and triangle, or even hold them down to charge stronger hits. The combat revolves around light attacks, heavy attacks, grabs, special attacks, and ultimates. With shows that have large casts, there’s no way that everyone could make it into a game like this, so it’s to be expected. There’s a good variety in the characters, including their fighting style and appearances, but some people still might find the overall roster lacking or feel like other characters deserved to be in. Shows such as Bleach, Hunter x Hunter, and One Piece have multiple representatives, while others such as Yu-Gi-Oh!, Black Clover, and My Hero Academia only get one.

Jump Force takes 40 characters from 16 series and throws them together, along with two original characters for the game. Anime characters have gotten this treatment in the form of the Jump games like J-Stars, but now we have the newest addition to the series, Jump Force. Wondering who would win in a fight between several of your favorite characters from different series is a question that you can answer in the arena. Capcom and Super Smash Brothers have been doing it for years. Crossover games have had a good history of bringing various separate worlds together.
