Gameplay

Up to four players fight at once across twelve 3D battlefields, each modeled on a location from a different Jump manga. Characters use regular attacks, power strikes, area techniques, and flashy finishing moves, and a match is won by filling a WIN gauge through defeating opponents rather than through a simple health bar. Modes include the story driven J-Adventure, the objective based Victory Road, and free battles supported by both local and online multiplayer.

Premise

Rather than following one continuous story, the game is built around the novelty of its crossover cast, pulling protagonists and antagonists from long running series like Dragon Ball and YuYu Hakusho alongside then current hits such as Naruto, Bleach, and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. JoJo characters fight side by side with cast members from other franchises, with stages and support attacks drawing on each series' signature locations and abilities.
