GAME: Jujutsu Kaisen Cursed Clash Video Game Review

Yeah, the game is definitely not the best looking and the single player story mode sucks. No getting around that, and Bandai Namco should've provided more support on that end I think. There's also some dumb QoL mishaps, like rematching being broken and throwing you in with CPUs if everyone doesn't do it rather than cancelling. It's also got, uhhh, Anime Accurate Balance, for better or worse (I'm really surprised this review singles out Geto rather than Gojo & Sukuna).

Admittedly, not for everyone at full price, but it's too bad to see it get written off as something more generic everywhere.

Well shit that is odd. Not that Geto doesn’t have shades of brokeness in the source.

I tend to think the broken aspect of characters in a game like this is sort of acknowledging that it is primarily targeted at fans that are ok, if not outright prefer, that the balancing follows the material.

I remember doing things like playing Tenkaichi with another person where if you picked, say, Gogeta then you couldn't have any other team members because he would easily trounce anyone else. Then again, that is something that worked when you could only play with somebody next to you. With online, there is a chance that a character like Sukuna maybe gets shadow banned because nobody wants to play against him, or have the opposite where everyone picks him.

I guess I'll say it: This game is actually pretty legit. I gave it a chance and I'm surprised by how much fun I've had with it.

I'd had it set to Auto-Ignore like everyone else until I ran into this thread, which explains what the game is trying to do:

A big part of it (which weirdly seems to get ignored in a lot of reviews) is how it borrows the Dissidia Final Fantasy system of "attacks that build meter (but no damage)/attacks that do damage based on that meter". It adds an interesting degree of strategy, since you have to keep making judgment calls on which is more beneficial to go for (although the basic attack has a "little bit of each" option which makes it easier to adjust to). This is along with coordinating with your partner doing the same.

But, there's a clever take on the Gundam VS/Dissidia format in there. Admittedly, not for everyone at full price, but it's too bad to see it get written off as something more generic everywhere.

Ironically, that's the biggest problem of the game - asking the full price for it and the release timing, cause Bamco management just went full stupid and threw it straight under the bus with the same date as Persona 3 Reload and Granblue Relink without any real stuff to promote it at all, while expecting at least KnY game sales numbers from it only based on the JJK hotness on the market.

Anyway, next on the fighter list is the HxH game, and it is continually unclear why Tekken, SF, MK, and BB devs dont ever get interested in doing more anime properties.

Vehemently disagree with this take, while the games are all "anime" inspired its doubtful it was thrown under the bus and over shadowed by other games....

only appeals to people who already play the browser game (the Relink includes rewards for the browser game)
