JUMP FORCE Review Summary

WeakCritic Consensus

Dull Gameplay

Disappointing Story

Unfortunate Art Style

Jump Force's impressive roster is wasted on a game with poor storytelling and rote gameplay. It seems cobbled together at best and downright unfinished at worst.

Critic Reviews for JUMP FORCE

Jump Force is all flash and little substance. Even with a roster of 40 beloved characters, it fails to stick the landing.

An epic clash between the some of manga's most famous characters shouldn't be this dull, frankly.

An ambitious brawler that suffers from something of an identity crisis, Jump Force will nevertheless delight anime fans – especially those of a vintage who knows the more obscure characters included here. A bit more finesse on the controls, making them less complex and more responsive, would have elevated the whole experience greatly, as would a more coherent and polished story mode, but it's a solid enough experience with more than enough spectacle and strategy to satisfy. If you're looking for a dedicated fighter that will both test your skills and prove more accessible though, Bandai Namco's own Tekken or SoulCalibur are far better examples of the genre.

Seeing characters from different franchises fight one another is exciting, but the overall presentation drags the whole experience down

Jump Force provides strategic tag-team arena-based combat that's filled with fun references to Shonen Jump manga, but the game's story leaves much to be desired.

While it can be enjoyable, Jump Force's power level is nowhere near 9000.

Jump Force wanted to be something for every anime fan, but while there's plenty of fan service there just isn't enough substance to proceedings.

Jump Force has all the ingredients of an epic manga crossover, but fails to execute them in a memorable way
