Jumping Force Review

Presentation

Jump Force’s premise means that the developers have chosen a rather strange art style. Rather than sticking to traditional anime or manga imagery, they have chosen to give each character a realistic look. Obviously, the real-world locations of the setting inspired this decision, but it doesn’t work well. It gives the fighters a quirky look that looks out of place. The menus and user interface are also poorly designed, while the loading screens are too frequent and long. The only redeeming features in terms of presentation are the voice acting and the rather charming soundtrack.

Final verdict

It’s the little things in Jump Force that let him down the most. Missing navigation tools or character biographies are oversights that you usually take for granted. But you really miss them when they’re not there. This is a real shame as the basic combat mechanics are really fun. Jump Force has a lot of potential to offer an experience that anime fans would consider a must buy. Yet, in the end, it is nothing but ordinary.
