    El Sistema de pelea es divertido
    pero eso sí muchísimas pantallas de carga
    la historia es muy poca
    los personajes aveces parecen robots si solo venís para pelear te puede gustar pero es demaciado repetitivo

    Bad character designs that is a disgrace to the original designs, Cool super attacks, an awful story, and a awful online system, And a decent, but very exploitable combat system. Probably the worst anime fighting game i've ever played and it doesn't deserve a proper review from me.

    Oh man. Created an account to give this 1 star. PS5 player here, do not download this. The copy write lawyers are throat deep into this games code. You can't record any content via cutscenes, this isn't a problem within itself, the problem is that you cannot disabled the console notification.

    So every cutscene, you get a double pop up to start followed by a popup to finish. It's disgusting.

    It’s such an annoying game, even my character is level 40 it’s very difficult to beat an enemy. Side mission boss is even harder than the main story boss. I spent an hour to beat a side mission boss and couldn’t beat him. Also, when I hit him, his health getting less slowly. However when boss hits me I’m losing half of my health, this is very stupid. I just quit and delete the game.

    the fighting isn't good. the hub world isn't good. the graphics aren't good. the story isn't good. and on top of all that, the load times are as bad as sonic 06. even if you're an anime fan, this game still isn't worth your time.

    Honestly, a huge waist of money as the story is a botched mess and the fighting is exactly like the worst parts of naruto storm games mixed with the worst parts of db xenoverse games.

    I wanted to like this game.. I love the Naruto games. But this game is dismal in comparison. Why? The story is lacking, the characters aren't there really.. only a few to unlock compared to Naruto and it's massive list. So many anime characters left untouched.

    4/10. Bad and lazy animations, lack of facial animations, lip syncing to words doesn't work but their lips are animating and flailing around on their own while their mouths are open but not animating.
    Poor underwhelming story. Poor use of the Jump Cast as a whole. HUB is pointless, monotonous and contributes nothing other than being a giant waste of time.

    Poor underwhelming story. Poor use of the Jump Cast as a whole. HUB is pointless, monotonous and contributes nothing other than being a giant waste of time. Connecting to matches online and loading - even in story mode can take a long time. You spend more time in loading screens and menus than actual fighting.
    The fighting itself is about what you would expect. It's subpar to a true fighting game and leads itself to a lot of ability spam and not very well balanced characters.
    There's a lot of systems in place with skills, abilities, upgrades, levels, elements, a rock paper sciccors mechanic and none of it is ever really explained and it's all walled behind an optional mission line which doesn't update to you difficulty setting unless you clear them on every difficulty prior.
    Should you beat the game and want to experience the lackluster story, if you create a new character, that character cannot go through the story again. They're just a new avatar for your roster select.
    Playing local multiplayer, it's not easy for the players to see who is doing what when as the camera angles are not kind. In fact, playing as larger characters at any time can block out the opponent from sight because the camera is locked behind your giant body...
    At full price, it's hard to recommend this game to anyone but the hardest core of Jump Fans.    … Expand

    Jump Force is a 3D brawler that celebrates the 50th anniversary of Shonen Jump Manga. Multiple properties are on display here including Dragonball, Naruto, One Piece, Jojo, Yu-Gi-Oh and so much more.

    Jump Force is a 3D brawler that celebrates the 50th anniversary of Shonen Jump Manga. Multiple properties are on display here including Dragonball, Naruto, One Piece, Jojo, Yu-Gi-Oh and so much more. With such an expansive roster, is Jump Force able to make a fun fighting game while also making a compelling story for the fans of all these properties?

    The story starts off with Frieza destroying New York City so Goku and a few other Shonen Jump characters try to stop him. After the battle, they meet up at a base where they find out that the “Jump Universe” is merging with the real world. Everyone at the base makes groups to help scout for some cubes that will save the day. If you think the story sounds like a generic anime plot from the summary I gave you, you would be right. The story is pretty boring and awkward due to a nonsensical plot and lifeless animations during the cut scenes. If you want to play Jump Force for the story, you should look for a better story driven game.

    The fighting mechanics can be fun but they are more flash than substance. Most moves are ties to holding down the R2/RB button and clicking one of the front-facing buttons. This will execute a cool flashy move that looks really impressive but the wow factor will wear off quickly after having done the same moves multiple times in one fight. Besides the super moves, you have a standard heavy/light punch attack and a dodge which is really ineffective 90% of the time. This makes for a fighting game that you will only want to play once or twice. You could play with a friend but unless they are a hardcore anime fan, the combat will most likely bore them after a few rounds of performing the same shallow moves.

    For a game that does not have much visual flair outside of its super moves, this game runs really bad. Jump Force only runs at a measly 30 FPS and there are a lot of drops in framerate. Mix that with a heavy amount of motion blur and this game made me feel sick after playing for only a few minutes. The soundtrack is boring and generic. There are NO songs from the properties that appear in the game. Top this off with long load screens that appear every 5 minutes. This game is a technical mess that should have been delayed.

    Jump Force feels like I am playing an alpha version instead of playing the full product. The combat is the most fleshed out part of the game and even that is bare bones. The story is not entertaining and the presentation is a mess. I would only think to recommend this game to die-hard Shonen Jump fans due to the cool and flashy moves but I think even fans would be bored after 10 minutes. Jump Force has some cool ideas but ultimately fails in its execution.

    Pros:
    +Super moves look cool
    +Combat can be fun for the first 10 mins.

    Cons:
    -The story is boring
    -Shallow combat
    -A technical mess
    -Bad animations outside of gameplay
    -Terrible soundtrack    … Expand

Money is sparse and clothing is expensive. One huge mistake is the season pass. Literally one week after the game was out, they announced fighters to be added the following week. This is predatory and wrong as they had these characters ready and held on to them for a season pass. Bandai Namco should not get a pass for their season pass tactics.

    It's hard to believe it's official game, from horrible animation that gives Mass Effect Andromeda run for it's money and painfully dated graphics to poorly done fanfiction level story, lackluster fights, heavily limited character customization and very few maps, it gives me feeling of playing fan game in it's early access.
    Edit: LMAO almost all of the positive reviews comes from bots.

    It’s really pretty to look at, but at its core, Jump Force is an unimaginative, derivative, distinctly average fighting game. It could potentially interest hardcore manga and anime fans thanks to its myriad characters, but that’s about it.

    A fighting game that won’t appeal to anyone. Newcomers won’t be endeared to the Shonen Jump series, and longtime fans will know there’s better out there. [Issue#160, p.96]

    Jump Force has plenty of potential and source material to work from, but falls flat. It is a little disappointing to see such a beloved franchise celebrate its 50th anniversary with Jump Force. The only thing that the game has going for it is the graphics. The story is dull. The combat is disorienting. Unfortunately, Jump Force does not live up to the hype.
