Jump Force

bring this shih back cuh people still play it let us do community servers or something

Every time I see this game in my library, my soul cries a little. When I first saw the trailers for this game I was about 9. I remember I had just recently learned what anime was and love One Piece, I also always loved fighting games. The trailers for this game were everything I had envisioned for a anime fighting game I wanted to play. But because I was young, I wasn't allowed to get it. In 2021 I finally got the game, and it was perfect for me. A lot of people, especially at the time were trashing on it for various reasons, but I didn't care. It was exactly what I dreamed of. Then it closed online and got taken off stores. Genuinely breaks my heart. I didn't even play the online often, but the very idea of this game meant so much to me.

The least they could do for this game is put it back on the shelf to buy, all I want ;/

Never understood the hate this game had, amazing graphics with wonderful cinematics and characters. The story is very bland and maybe borderline unplayable haha but regardless this game will always have a special place in my heart. In 2020 I bought this to play with my brother on the ps4 and I wish i could go back to all the fun I was having, if you ever do get the chance to somehow play this game please do.

Seeing anime icons like Goku, Naruto, and Jotaro clash in massive 3v3 battles is pure fan-service spectacle at its finest. The arena combat is fast, flashy, and super easy to pick up for casual button-mashing fun with friends. However, the uncanny realistic art style looks bizarre, the story mode is a slog, and shallow combat mechanics mean the hype wears off once the visual novelty fades.

10/10 sad they shut down, couldve easily been the best fighting game, especially with the new animes out right now... omgggggg a man can only dream

A soft "Yes".
I'm a fighting game rookie/noob and play them mostly for fun.
99% of my playtime has been after the main patches. Load times and such are very good now (PC).
For a fighting game, the base mechanics are fun. Character and ability designs have plenty of variety. Gameplay feels fairly fluid and balancing is alright. Visually it's flashy and the abilities that seem to hit hard also generally do so, while good timing and i-frames seem relatively balanced.
However. The campaign leaves much to be desired. I really couldnt find myself to care about the story aside from the few parts which revealed and progressed the main bad guys' stories. Most of the missions are just "Save with team in area ".
The NPC balancing also feels really cheap. The artificial difficulty just ends up having you deal very little damage and take a ton. In the end, if you don't cheese, you'd need to hit multiple perfect combos just to match a single hit from the enemy. Even if it's technically doable, it's just not fun.
I've finished almost half the Hard missions (Easy-Normal-Hard-Very Hard-Expert), although I won't be trying the harder ones. I'm just not that sweaty
My last issue is clarity. I had to do extensive online searches to find out which abilities/support abilities/j-skills/whatever actually did what and when they are active (which apparently is mostly limited to the player Character).
All in all; the gameplay is fun, I like the characters and there are plenty of missions. The animations are cool (not amazing) and the music is fine (but repetitive). I feel like I have gotten pretty good, but I just don't like the artificial difficulty.
6.5/10
