Jump Force

Jump Force

The most famous Manga heroes are thrown into a whole new battleground: our world. Uniting to fight the most dangerous threat, the Jump Force will bear the fate of the entire humankind.

When the real world collides with many of the Shōnen Jump universes, humanity is invaded by the “Venoms”, an army of mind-controlled villains lead by Kane and Galena. In order to fight back, many heroes are recruited to join the “Jump Force” under the leadership of Director Glover and his A.I. partner Navigator. But a suspicious figure is using both the Jump Force and the Venoms as an attempt to gain a mysterious artifact and merge all worlds into one.

Jump Force is a 1-v-1 fighting game where the player controls a team of three characters from a selection of various manga series featured in the Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine. Players control one character at a time while the others are used as support, with players able to switch between them during battle. Combat functions similarly to the previous Jump fighting game, J-Stars Victory VS, with players moving around a 3D space and utilizing various combos and special moves to attack their opponents. The match ends when one team depletes the other’s health bar.

Create your own avatar and jump into an original Story Mode to fight alongside the most powerful Manga heroes from DRAGON BALL Z, ONE PIECE, NARUTO, BLEACH, HUNTER X HUNTER, YU-GI-OH!, YU YU HAKUSHO, SAINT SEIYA and many others. Or head to the Online Lobby to challenge other players and discover lots of modes and activities.

Jump Force Review

I feel like everyone’s being a little too harsh on this game. If you’re a fan of multiple anime or manga, you’ll love this game! It pretty much covers all your bases; Naruto, Dragon Ball, One Piece, MHA, Black Clover, Bleach, etc.

The combat is easily the best part of the game. It always feels fun to play, even if you’re losing. The team based mechanic is great. It’s easily better than One’s Justice simply because you can switch characters.

The story is probably the worst part of the game…not that it’s bad! The plot is interesting and the final boss fight (no spoilers) is pretty incredible. However, the cutscenes can be…interesting. The animations are all pretty basic, and everyone just kinda stands still most of the time. The character models can have some issues performing some of the actions and looking normal. (This is just the cutscenes, however. The gameplay is outstanding!).

Overall, I’d definitely recommend this game to an avid anime watcher, but if you’re looking for a fighting game with a good story and more positive community, maybe try Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat instead. Jump Force is definitely underrated in my opinion, but I won’t say its the best game ever. Everyone has different tastes, and that’s okay.

Summary
Jump Force is a worthy celebration of the legacy of Shonen Jump manga, but it honors its source material a little too well with how filler-heavy the middle of its story arc is. However, even if the game rarely provides a clear motivation for stopping evil other than good must always oppose it, the act of stomping out villains in Jump Force's frantic bouts of tag-team arena combat is an enjoyable test of strategy. And with over 40 characters to master, there's ample opportunity to develop new strategies and reach greater feats of combat prowess in online multiplayer.
Good
  • Each character's unique fighting style has been captured
  • Rock-paper-scissors style of combat is easy to understand and encourages strategic planning during fights
  • Character customization is fairly robust and fun to do
Bad
  • The story is a rather generic and bland conflict of good vs. evil that drags throughout its second act
7.5
