If this game was the same price as palworld or cheaper we probably wouldn’t give it shit tbh. Charging full price or higher for this is just straight robbery

It’s sad that such a great anime like jujutsu kaisen got screwed out of having a better first game, it deserves a lot better. Some of the supers look alright and I can see how some people like the gameplay, but overall I found it underwhelming. The gameplay and presentation of games like Naruto ultimate ninja storm just feel better to me

3:32 Toji: "ah yes, a [blockable] hollow purple. "

I appreciate this very reasonable and straight forward review. Everything you stated sounds fair and I am glad you list pros and cons instead of just hyping the game or bashing it in a non-constructive way. Overall a great video. 🙏🔥

The fact that no one is acknowledging that on the ps5 and 4 rank doesn’t even work so u pretty much have to play with AI or find randoms to get a lobby to actually work

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE BABY GLOBKU!!!! you deserve it man keep up the amazing work!!

D is a perfect rank. Another anime fighting game which honestly the genre at this point deserves no higher than a C

I play a wide variety of games and I was someone who enjoyed multiversus, and really wanted another 2v2 focused fighter to kinda fill that gap for me. I was excited to see jjk could be that and I was a lil cautious of the speed and floatiness but after playing it, honestly I love it so far. Once you get use to the systems and characters and start thinking about how to use the tools they give you that’s where it really opens up and traps you in its gameplay loop. When I’m playing the game it doesn’t feel slow and feels like you’re always watching and making decisions and deciding what’s the best course of action. Presentation and things are lacking yes but the potential is absolutely there and I hope they expand on it either through dlc and updates or a full blown sequel with more money which did happen for the my hero fighting game. Just don’t blindly hate the game is all I ask, if it ain’t for you then fine but this is a style of anime arena fighter and I think they got something here.

This game reminds me of alot like my heros one's justice like the way the characters jump and run and the air combos

i had to refund the game man, the game was just too simple. maybe i refunded too early before i got to fully learn the game but granblue was way more worth the same price, i couldn't justify keeping jjk. we deserve better!! the game is so rushed and it feels like it too, maybe in the future if it gets better i won't mind buying it again but as of rn it'd have for go on sale for $20. also congratulations on becoming a dad, glob!!!

I had low expectations from this game, but I found myself really enjoying the game and the only issue I have is the price. This is not a 60 dollar game but I do reccomend it. Its suprisingly fun.

I'm really sad that the last two attempts we had at final fantasy dissidia games where bad (i'm counting jjk and NT) It makes me feel very sad cause the gameplay style is really cool and very single player friendly. Problem is, Jujutsu deserve a more unique game, like the ones DB is getting. A horror based jujutsu kaisen rpg would be awesome but alas. I'm hope this is not the last jujutsu game we see on consoles.

People hate cyber connect 2 for a lot of reasons, some valid but they do make some of the best anime games quality wise. Even if people hate the “storm formula” it is one of the most polished styles of anime gaming these days

You know, being the "anime videogame guy" on youtube i always click on your reviews expecting some sort of favourable bias towards these games, and everytime you manage to remind me that this isn't really the case, you're always on point and critical as you should be, congrats on another amazing review Dadku!

I’m surprised no one has mention that this looks a lot like Final Fantasy Dissidia format

Honestly I think Jujustu Kaisen deserves a traditional 2d fighting game by ArcSys

Maybe now the coping about this being a good arena fighter can end.

The way this games pvp is kinda set up is sorta relatable to Gundam Extreme vs. Theyre two completely different game but the team combat in the way you try to win is very similar. Id love to try this game once it goes on sale.

I loved Dissidia, loved J Stars, and loved One's Justice 2 so I genuinely feel fine with this game. The only things I dislike is the story mode, no subtitles and I kinda wish the Kyoto students made it in the game. I know Mai has nothing to go off of considering she can only create one bullet a day but even Momo could've had basic generic wind attacks and maybe a one or two melee attacks with her broom . Other than that and the lack of costume variety I'm okay with this game.

Naruto Storm Connections failed us, and now Jujustu Kaisen Cursed Clash failed us as well. These great animes deserve WAY BETTER respect than this! Clearly these games are just cash grab for the fans. And not made my people who love the series. Or fans. Dragonball Sparking Zero is our only and last hope. If that fails too, we're going to hell.

shocked you didn't mention the price, like - I VERY nearly bought it. I was going to, until today. I... nobody, not even someone as invested in JJK as me, can justify spending fifty pounds on this.

I honestly find the slower, heavier pace and feeling of the moves a refreshing style compared to all other fighting games, and its kinda necessary for the 2v2 to work, so I don't see that as a huge downside.

Might get this game when its on sale for 30 dollars

Sparkling Zero is our only hope

I really enjoy this game, and this is coming from a single player. I don't have a friend to play with, and still, the gameplay just feels so satisfying. I love the uniqueness, and I think the combat is great. Yes, I agree the game has its flaws. But knowing Byking, I trust that the ones that can be fixed without reworking the entire game, will be fixed. I do understand some of the criticism for the game, but a lot of what *I* see at least, just boils down to "I hate arena fighters so this game bad". People wanted something unique, and this is pretty unique... To be fair, though, one of my favorite fighting games is Your Only Move Is Hustle, so I haven't played, nor want to play, the more traditional fighting games because of how accustomed to YOMI I am.

I think if the game has less endlags or cancels like Extreme VS Force, it will going to be a game changer. I really just hope they throw an Update with Dodge Cancelling (Stamina) and faster end recoveries. One of the exact reason why I dropped JStars. You're seeing Anime Fights where they are moving fast, that's what Anime Fans wanted to feel when playing games, to move fast. It doesn't matter if you're missing attacks over and over if the gameplay is fast, that's the literal fun part, it's infuriating if you're missing attacks in this kind of a slow pace.

JJK deserved sooooo soooo much better especially with it ending this year…. A safe bet would’ve been make a RPG type game like One Piece Odessy that lets us play some stories for other characters like why was Yuta in Africa dancing up a storm (IYKYK) Geto assembling his first team, Gojo training his first years and other missions, give us more Itadori Megumi and Nobara content since they didn’t really get much time to develop their friendship and what not Or just do Dragon ball FighterZ the art style of Kaisen and vibe would’ve been so amazing to see in that type of fighting game

So this is another typical anime arena fighter with the usual mediocre gameplay modes, whatever challenges there are for the tryhards and a limited roster at the start with "DLC" characters later being added. Huge pass for me. Thanks for reviewing this. Getting tired of the same dull thing with these anime arena fighters which is why I favor some of the Naruto Storm games as well as MHOJ2 over this crap. Dragonball Xenoverse 2 is my all time favorite anime arena fighter. One of the best ones ever made imo only. $60 for this nonsense...

As 90% of steam reviews say: "Nah, I'd refund"

Bro Final Fantasy Dissidia blows this crap out of the water both visually and gameplay wise and it was on the PSP!!!! HOW ARE WE GOING BACKWARDS!?!?!?

Is anyone else getting the "a network error has occurred" message every time they try to get into a game?

The game is hella fun but PLEASE for the love of God they have to fix the network error almost everyone is experiencing

I swear ppl who are complaining abt combos have never played J-Stars victory vs before it’s all about timing and catching frames yall takes time to learn 🤷🏼‍♂️

its shocking how low the standards are for anime fighters, 16 playable characters with different move sets isn't impressive, its pretty bad as far as fighters go but of course because its an anime fighter we just gotta clap and hand over $60

Just no

As someone who has played the entire story, I can say that it’s currently not as good the graphics are decent and the gameplay could improve but overall it’s ok but I’ll give the developer the benefit of the doubt since its only been out for about 2 days, all I’m saying is that it can improve

Tbh i find byking great at portraying characters abilities close to the anime but i find they lack in graphics and the ulitmates always look like they are missing something . Maybe its because cc2 spoiled us with anime ulitmates all these years .

I feel like the big mistake here was making this a 2v2 game with no local multiplayer. Anime arena fighters are at their best when you and your friend just watched the anime and want to button mash a bit on the couch with your favorite characters. But this game FORCES the online aspect, which sucks, you cant play versus your friend unless you have 3 friends who all want to play, and in that case you'd have to buy this full priced game multiple times and still cant have the couch experience. The actual game looks like it had some great ideas for how to translate the anime's magic system into a fighter, but that 2v2 gimmic idea killed it. I absolutely loved my hero ones justice 2, and I was really hoping that this would be that, but with JJK characters since it was the same developer :(

This game is very barebones, right now. It has a LOT of potential, and with a few good and productive updates, the game could actually turn in to something pretty great.

People are hating but tbh I’m having alot of fun playing, only problems I’ve had with the game so far is server issues and also the fact that sukuna has super armor on almost every move, which is leading to drooling six year olds who use the same move over and over getting to higher ranks

I feel the same way about jjk as I do shinobi strikers, lackluster on release and not worth 60-100 depending on which version you buy. but has better potential after updates & dlc. Better to get the game on sale when/if it progress further

If they had done it like The Hinokami Chronicles, it'd be perfect, but this is utterly horrible.

D is way too high for this game, a $50 game with that small a roster, barely any modes and lacklustre gameplay= a terrible fighting game

Is it true is this game the most refunded game?

Consiering the price I don't think this game is worth it, you just don't have a good experience with the game unless you're playing with a friend, with no way to play local the friend needs to buy the full game also, and even then it seems to get boring real fast. Also zoners seem to be a problem with the ranked matches.

i don't mind the grahpics not looking the best, if the gameplay makes up for it

I want to play to a jujutsu kaisen fighterZ and im sure there are some genius working on it currently

1. No original story, no unique cutscenes (except for the end and it looks mid asf). 2. Graphics and animations are worse than in a mobile game (Example the new OPM mobile game, which has unique cutscenes and actual good ult animations). Todo's ult is just a kick. 3. Combat feels extremely clunky and not fun. Most characters are as unbalanced as possible. 4. The price for this joke of a game is INSANE. 5. This mobile game isnt even on mobile 😅😅 Overall, not worth anyone's time.

I actually kind of like it, at first i had my doubts at first but after playing it for a while i genuinely enjoy myself.

Personally I'd recomend everyone who Brough the game who aren't hypnotised by the IP to gain refunds. Domain expansions aka awakening moves are nearly impossible to pull off. With only the ones that grab enemies or hot enemies from afar being affavtive. There's no super armour when trying these and the activation animation takes so long that anyone can beat you out of being able to use it. Some inputs won't even be acknowlaged by the game. This I Clyde's when having to pull down the left and right triggers to activate an awakening move as it'll only acknowlaged the right trigger input which forces a CT which uses CE which will me a you'll have to attack players again to regain the awakening opitunity. I put can be so bad that simply present A to go to the next cutscenes will not be acknowlaged Most combos are negated not cause of the rival player but because the frame rate drops in the middle of a combo. Bandai never treated one piece right gaming wise, gave mha the bare minimum, screwed over naruto. Screwed what could of been their cash cow for most of the year. And somehow in some way we're suppose to believe dbsz is gonna be sucsessful because it's dragon ball? Bandai dosnt care about anime games. They don't put as much love into them anymore as they do with tekken or the souls like games they make they buy the rights to anime ips by throwing tons of cash at the author and then proceed to make them cash grabs. At this point. I might just only buy anime games that hopfully in the future are mad eby other companies like Sega.

Honestly, I think this game gets too much hate. It looks fine and it’s pretty fun. I don’t see the problem

I knew it was gonna be ass I’ll wait for deep sale I’ll just play gran blue relink for my anime niche

I love Globku because he's one of the only KZfaqrs I've seen consistently talk about arena fighters. As a society, we don't talk about the community of people who find arena fighters to be fun, and JJK Cursed Clash perfectly shows us why. There is a big group of people who genuinely enjoy the game and everyone else seems to be criticizing it. A lot of people are just throwing out opinions without even playing it, and it is honestly ruining the opportunity for that group of people who genuinely enjoy the game to have another game like this. There are mixed reviews because it's simple - either you like it or you don't. I understand most JJK fans are bandwagons with no real motivation to formulate an opinion on their own, so they probably don't understand why they even enjoy the show in the first place, making it damn near impossible for them to enjoy a game with floaty mechanics. But what they don't understand is that there are really people in this life who would rather play that floaty-ass game instead of Fortnite, or Rocket League, or R6. People don't understand that not everything is for them, and if you don't like the game, then why the fuck do you have anything to say about it? Some people genuinely don't believe they attribute to malice or hate, then see a game they don't like and instantly have something to say, curious why they don't like themselves. A massive community has been looking all over for games like this, and maybe Dissidia (or however you spell it) wasn't up their alley, or they don't have access to J-Stars. What we need to understand is if you don't like something, then the best course of action (9/10) is to not give it your attention. You're just fucking it up for everyone who might or probably does like it.

this game would be great if it were like 20-30 bucks

D rank is incredibly generous Even with shortcomings (which is literally *all* this game has) the rank is E for sure

All the game needs is some kinda way to dash cancel to extend combos

0:21 Dawg this is so sad, Arcsys been made unique characters and the netcode being tge best "for an arena fighter" is... 😭

Honestly, looking at this game makes me think “CyberConnect2 would’ve done better.” From the combat to the visuals and presentation, I feel they would’ve knocked it out of the park. I know people don’t like Storm’s character gameplay, but I always love playing Storm 4. I just enjoy that combat scheme, and a bit of a downer this game isn’t 3v3. Even though I didn’t enjoy Hinokami Chronicles as much as Storm, the sort of style would have been perfect for JJK. Each character being unique with different combos. It’s even 2v2 which would have been perfect. Then, CC2 graphics and cutscenes are still incredible, with the models, music, and the story mode. Kinda sucks to see Jujutsu Kaisen’s first game have such as mixed reception.

You're really good at breaking down games in a non-negative light. This game has a huge amount of seeable issues in the form of experimental design and just some misses on the decisions made with it but if I had pre-ordered it your review would make me feel a lot better about the product I got.

JJK Game gon be DEAD by Tomorrow

My verdict is just wait for a sale because 60 isn’t worth it 30 or 45 is way more accurate

At least people have a Maki and nobara model now 😏😏😏

How are eso and kechizu in the roster over so many more important ones? Dudes barely had an episode for themselves

I personally enjoy the game. Obviously it's not perfect and they absolutely butchered the rendering of my boy todo but I really enjoy the core combat experience

I know it sounds crazy but i always kinda wished that most anime games are like naruto ultimate ninja storm series... like imagine jjk but with stoem 4 mechanics? dope..... one piece with storm 4 mechanics? dope etc.. like i know a lot of people hate storm 4 combat but i think it's peak for anime games.

Adore this game, a lot. I hope the backlash it's getting fades enough for it to last a while. It's disheartening to see so many who haven't played it assuming just HOW bad it must be. I understand that for the price, and especially for what is effectively a multiplayer only game, $60 was too much, but it's important to note the developers don't have a say in the price. What they made, mechanically, is fantastic, and I hope that more people get to see what we playing it see already.

I’m telling yall the Minecraft jujutsu mod by orca is god tier if you want a fairly similar experience that’s where I’d look

I’ll be waiting till it’s dirt cheap or someone gifts it to me instead.

Looks like a reskin of Hinokami Chronicles, exact same lock on and strafe effect, its like a toss between Kakarot and Hinokami Chronicles

Honestly, I enjoy this game play. It's the same as the Final Fantasy Dissidia games. I just don't think it fits JJK. Since martial arts and hand to hand fighting is a big part of the show. A more combo focused fighting game would have fit better.

While I do agree that character distinctiveness is a massive boon, I think there is a middle ground that should have been met. I dont care if it's an Arena Fighter, Platform Fighter or Traditional 2D Fighter, I said it about Street Fighter, I said it about Guilty Gear, charging $60 for a sub-20 character fighting game is unnaccetible

I love this game! I don’t get the hate for the game too. First it was hate because it was an “unoriginal arena fighter” and know it’s being hated for doing something different. Sure it’s buggy at launch but that’s the point of updates. What’s the problem with floaty to, don’t you want to do air combos. Me and my friends set up a lobby with 2 in a team and 1 with a bot because we’re 3 people, we had a blast and the bot was basically kicking our butts if we put it on hard mode. I love this game and I hope more people will love it too

Even though you gave it a D this review has me considering giving it a second try. I'm a fan of basically all the other anime area fighters and usually I'll play through the story then do some local fights with friends. I've played through the 2nd chapter and fighting 2 opponents with limited damaging attacks has frustrated me. Especially the 2 fights Maki vs Megumi and Nobara also the Nobara vs Panda and Toge. I literally turned my xbox off after those. Like I said I'll give it another try so I don't just throw away $60, but as someone who usually plays through the story (Which has been frustrating) and plays local with friends (which you can't) I'm wishing I would've skipped this one.

It’s pretty fun coming from a guy who plays it alone. I’m also a huge jjk manga fan so being able to set up and play some of the iconic 2v1s with max cursed meter is actually pretty satisfying. Yall sleep on free battle mode

Arcsystemworks, another Franchise needs your help. Seriously though, i dont get why we only have Dragonball FighterZ and not any other Anime License game from them.

I think the gameplay is solid I personally would've wanted a 1v1 fighting style. Also the animations and floaty movement is off putting to me personally and the animations feel rushed.

Just rq wanna point this out, idk why but these videos make the game look a lot smoother in these ytrs videos. Just remember it’s not like this idk why there’s is smooth but I’ve yet to have a smooth online game in ranked I have good connection good ping everything and it’s never smooth, it stutters a lot it freezes mid combo etc, I enjoy it but I wish I knew how to fix it

And the anime arena fighter curse lives on. Idk how some of y’all can’t notice an anime fighter arena game will be bad just by the first trailers

I didnt love one's justice, but i feel like it at least looked and played better than this. As much as i understand some of the decisions, like floaty gameplay, long knockdowns, and all attacks outside of specific "cursed technique" ones doing no damage, i dont think it makes the game any more fun. It most certainly doesn't feel like the fast-paced high-energy JJK fighting game that i feel many people were hoping for With a 2v2 focus, I feel like a more combo-heavy game makes a lot more sense than the exact opposite, and that is one of the most disappointing things to me. Lastly, as much as people say "ohh everyone just dislikes the game cuz visuals bad," it doesnt make it less justified on the player side. The only reason its such a sore spot is BECAUSE players know anime fighting games can look so much better than this, even without crazy amazing effects like the Naruto storm games have nailed, the animations could have been WAYY smoother and done more justice to the anime. Granted, some super moves/ultimates do look pretty cool, but the rest of the game being such a stark contrast in quality doesn't feel good for the player.

It's pretty disappointing combos are almost non-existent in this game when My Hero One's Justice 2, made by the same developers, has easily the most satisfying combo game in any anime arena fighter

I was so excited when this was announced, but then I saw Byking...I very much didn't like one's justice and this is the same. I'm glad I avoided this one.

Congrats man on globku jr

JJK just needed to get a better studio to make this game. Coming from the dark ages I think the Marvel Vs Capcom playstyle would of been pretty awesome for this.

Aye im happy for those who enjoy the game but the ones that hate on people for not liking especially when they give fair critique and aren't just saying ignorant shit, y'all aren't any better than the people y'all hating on lol. If you play it and like it that's fine but you can't say it's overhated or people are riding a hate train cause at the end of the day those are their opinions and many of them are based around things that can very well be seen as issues. The game isn't just so objectively amazing that you can tell others theyre wrong for not liking it. Have a good day, enjoy what you play, and don't be a dick over video games and anime👌🏿

They made a creative decision a purposefully made this Game this way. All of these decisions were Intentional, I just think they didn’t understand their audience. This style is very niche and they committed too hard

Game is cool but no couch co op with 4 player or bringing your friend online with you on same console makes it a L

I honestly hate the stages and defense in this game, the dash doesn't even come out sometimes so trying to bait anything is a huge issue and the side step is the worst thing you could do in this game and it's supposed to be a punish. I wish the combo system was better or at least gave an explanation on how it works

We had Hidden Inventory with Toji vs Gojo & Geto. Shibuya Incident with Yuji vs Choso & Mahito, Gojo flexing, Toji vs Dagon, Sukuna vs Jogo & Mahoraga. JJK fans ate during season 2. It would’ve been PERFECT to follow up with a 🔥 game. Smh I wish I could just forget this game existed but it’s such a damn disappointment.

Ooooh so it’s dissidia/dissidia NT style gameplay.

It’s not the worst game I’ve ever seen, especially not regarding anime. But it definitely needs some work. If they put the effort in to polish the game, It definitely has the potential to be pretty good.

Flirting: Jujutsu Warriors [Dynasty Warriors X Jujutsu Kaisen] (TBA) Harassment: Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash

So basically its Naruto Shippuden with Jujutsu characters

Thank you for this video, I was debating on getting it because I’m a huge jjk fan and not picky with my games, this game certainly looks fun and seems really fun with friends, after watching the video and understanding that the game has such potential, I decided to get the game, I’m about to try it out!

True proof that being creative and unique isnt enough to make a good game, who the fuck thought forcing 2v2s on people would be a good idea I can see the rest like sloppy animations and mid visuals just being the studio's kind of work (was never a fan of OJ's visuals and meh animations, but they were fine for MHA), but who said ah yes lets force them to either have friends that want to buy and play the game or not enjoy the game, cant even give it the "party game" excuse, it has no split screen, So seriously, for who is this shit, it clearly isnt for the die hard fans, because they missed on all the key points of JJK appeal, definitely not for the competetive people, and it cant be for the casual players because they are forced to coordinate times with their friends (if they have any that have the game) to properly play the game In my opinion it feels like they had an idea for a 2v2 fighting game and they just happened to get the JJK IP half way through the core features development. Me personally, as a pretty intense JJK fan, I wouldnt buy this unless it went on sale and a friend agreed to buy it too

Why is no one talking about the outfits ppl paid for but aren’t getting

It looks fine but the air movement looks odd The flying really wasn’t needed

If this was like storm connections , or like a demon slayer type game I would’ve liked it . The gameplay is too heavy , blocking to attacking takes way to long . And recovery takes way too long . I feel like they could’ve went in a better direction but it’s not horrible . If it wasn’t 60 dollars I probably wouldn’t have cared so much . They really took advantage of the fan base and the anime/manga’s success

The ideas were definitely there, but the execution was like half there. If the game ever gets a sequel (prolly won’t seeing how many people refunded this one) and the producers actually lock in, it has mad potential.

‪Has anyone else had trouble playing the game online? Every time I try to play ranked or unranked i get” a network error has occurred”. I’ve checked my Wi-Fi and PS five and all good, this is the only game it seems to do it on. I’ve only played like six matches maybe online because of it.‬ I’ve looked in the settings to try to find my region but no luck. Any ideas?

Eyes of Heaven had good and cool combos and block strings and was a 2v2 interactable arena game. Honestly I wish that game got more love
