    it looks great, it has massive and (visually) intense but terribly mediocre and boring Combat.

    you create your character and use single click attacks until you're done within 45-60 seconds.

    can not recommend this game at all..

    This game is ridiculous. The gameplay is repetitive and the story doesn't exist.

    CAC sucks only 3 styles and no weapon... you can't even equip every special or final move (wtf just copy xenoverse!!! so easy)... very low quantity/quality of the base roster... many other games have 60-100 characters... this celebrates the 50th anniversary and offer only 40... gladly I canceled the pre-order but i am still sad and angry because i had high expectations for this game

    This is the worst game I have ever played, you do minimal damage with your ultimate while the enemy will take away almost all of your health with a single combo

    DO NOT BUY THIS TRASH

    Story is something you have seen for the 348th time. Its like a 4 years old made the story.

    The fighting in the game is actually not bad but not well made. Especially when the enemy blocks, u can't do much except grabbing him or load your Auto-attack. When u grab the enemy it doesn't to much dmg but throwing him for like 30m away and can't even combo him afterwards. When u try to load your Auto-attack its a big punishment for yourself cause it takes to long. So the enemy can cancel his block and immediately cast his ability or even his ultimate and you can't do anything about it but took huge dmg especially when enemy uses his ultimate.
    But the greatest thing when your fighting against AI, u do absoluetly no dmg and AI uses 2-3 Skills and your dead. Every Skill, punch,grab or combos are dealing much much much much more Dmg when Ai is doing it.
    Example: You cast your Ultimate attack and you do about 8%-15% Dmg but when Ai is using Ult it does 40%-60% Dmg. Its super mega ultra ridiculous and frustrating at the same time. Your using so much Combos and skills and the AI still has 40%Hp left. But they do 1 combo and ult and your dead. What is this????????????????????????????????????????????????

    The most disappointment in the game are the Cosmetics (Outfit/Armor/Clothes). There is absolutley nothing new or special but the same Outfits there are already in the game like u can buy an outfit for goku, vegeta, ruffy, midoriya, ect . U can buy single armor-pieces and combine them but there is no a Wow-effect. U can dress the same as naruto or gaara or combine them together, thats it. Bandai didn't make anything on their own, like outfits that aren't in the Anime-universe, u know something that u can actually combine together and say: wow thats sick. Absolutely nothing new. Its depressing. The worst they did to cosmetics are that u can't even change colors???

    Example: There are like 5 Piccolo shoulder armors (those with wide shoulders) that are white but each with different t-shirt-color. So if you buy one armor that has a t-shirt with the color pink but u want it do be red u have to buy that armor piece again for 5k gold....... Sad.    … Expand

    Si profundizamos en los demás aspectos nos encontramos con un juego mediocre a más no poder, con un aparatado técnico que destaca en algunos aspectos como la iluminación o las partículas, gracias al uso del UE4, pero tiene deficiencias, sobre todo en el diseño de los personajes y ciertas animaciones.

    El juego se estructura mediante un sistema de lobby, muy similar al que utilizaba DB Xenoverse. Desde allí podremos acceder al modo historia, el cual deja mucho que desear y esta repleto de tiempos de carga sin razón alguna; y misiones online y offline, asñi como tiendas para personalizar a nuestro personaje.

    El sistema de combate es muy similar al de los DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi, esta vez con hasta equipos de tres, la principal pega reside en que la barra de salud es compartida entre todos los luchadores, lo cual hace que los combates sean demasiado cortos, podrían simplemente haber elegido un sistema similar al de los Naruto UNS o que cada luchador tuviese barra de salud propia.

    Las mecánicas de por si ya son simples y el HUD tampoco da muchas pistas sobre ciertos elementos como el tiempo de recarga de los apoyos.

    Si buscas un arena fighter al estilo de los Naruto / Budokai recomendaria alejarse de este juego o esperar a una buena rebaja.    … Expand

    Doesn't let you use half of the supers/ultimates of the characters in the game on Avatar. Doesn't let you use anyone else's base punching movesets on CAC. Combat itself isn't good either.

    Gameplay is shallow and not even in a fun way. The graphics are hideous, and the cutscenes are laughably bad, with animations worse than Mass Effect Andromeda or even Sonic 06.

Os gráficos são lindos, apesar de achar que seria melhor se eles colocassem gráficos parecidos com os de anime (algo como Dragon Ball FighterZ). O jogo tem MUITO, mas MUITO loading, sempre que vai mudar de cutscene (que são terríveis, by the way) tem um loading, o que dá pra ver o quanto esse jogo foi polido. A gameplay da luta é okay, mas o mínimo que um jogo de luta tem que ter é uma gameplay de luta aceitável.
    Pra resumir, decepcionante, tinha um bom potencial, mas o que teria de interessante na história do jogo, eles tiraram (no caso, controlar os personagens dos animes q vc gosta), você pode no máximo ter algumas horas de diversão no modo online, mas deve enjoar muito facilmente.    … Expand

    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. 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

    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.
