Lastly, while I understand Jump Force is a tribute to the ShЕЌnen serialisation and its fans, this also meant it would harder for new gamers interested in playing to empathise with the in-game story and its characterвЂ™s experience. There was also the fact that despite being a game with 50 years of characters to choose from I only counted three (four, once you included Galena) female fighters in the entire roster, something I was hoping would change in the lead up to release, but alas I was sadly let down. Blocking can only be broken with grabs and charged attacks, but it becomes tedious when thatвЂ™s half the battle вЂ“ you expect large scale punch ups, not subdued defensive battles of attrition. did nothing but block 90% of the attacks I laid out вЂ“ it felt almost like a broken mechanic. Battling became tiring and frustrating when the A.I. Jump Force, despite being an enjoyable gaming experience, isnвЂ™t without its flaws, as I came to learn early on. Of course getting to deck out my character in new fighting garments was just as much fun and I always found myself getting excited when I got a new set of clothes to choose from. Jump Force currently feels like a multi-million dollar effort to shove as many Shonen Jump properties into one product. I thoroughly enjoyed playing through the game and upgrading my fighter as I obtained new moves and abilities to wield against my opponents. Reviewed on Xbox One As the largest pillar of the manga and anime industry, Shonen Jump is an icon throughout the world for fans of JapanвЂ™s most popular media. One of the most enjoyable aspects of Jump Force is the opportunity to fight alongside some of my favourite anime characters using a completely new fighter of my making. After engaging in a few tutorial battles I was introduced to the Jump Force team and was charged to fight in one of three allied factions, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma, each with their own specific specialty.

Players are thrown right into the thick of battle after creating their very own character IвЂ™m not ashamed to say I spent a good hour exploring all cosmetic options. The story of Jump Force isnвЂ™t exactly hard to follow a nefarious duo of Villains, Kane and Galena, have begun to invade our world, but in doing so have also opened it up to several different realities вЂ“ all of them from ShЕЌnen Jump series. Jump Force is the culmination of ShЕЌnen JumpвЂ™s legacy, into a game, for the fans that have loyally supported the publication all these years, with myself proudly included. Having recently reached its 50th year anniversary (2018), the Japanese publication, alongside Bandai Namco, announced plans for a game that would celebrate its rich history. Several iconic popular culture personalities, like martial artist Goku, pirate captain Luffy, and leaf village ninja Naruto all owe their humble beginnings to this one amazing serialisation. The universes of Shonen Jump are brought to the real world by a few baddies, prompting both anime heroes and villains to mingle. The spectacular stories that have come out of this weekly manga serialisation are legendary. Jump Force doesnt have a particularly difficult story to follow. Whether itвЂ™s the power of friendship, guts, or determination, ShЕЌnen Jump, for the last 50 years, has provided its fans with endless hours of entertainment.
