In this way, the company recovers one of the best works or adaptations of the video game license, since All Star Battle R It is still an improved adaptation of the homonymous title released on PlayStation 3 in 2013.

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure All Star Battle R it’s a remaster of the title released on the PlayStation 3 system, as we mentioned, which now reaches new systems: Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC.

The title is a real delight for all lovers of the work of Hirojiko Araki, as it summarizes each arc or season in the most important confrontations. This way we remember the moments that stood out to us the most and the fights that made us feel the most in their day. Behind this product is the great developer CyberConnect2

, who has a lot of experience in the genre; After all, they have a spectacular career with titles of great importance, such as: Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm (saga), Demon Slayer – Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, among others. For this reason, the licensed adaptation is executed with superb mastery, capturing at all times the style of the work it is based on and even every little detail in the animations or character modeling.

As usual in CyberConnect2 games, the accessibility or orientation of this Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure All Star Battle R is very well dosed. This way, any player, expert or not, can get into this fighting title without feeling particularly frustrated. Even if one thing is certain, it will take a few hours at the controls to know how to defend yourself or really play and combine all the skills or attack lists of each character successfully.

The content offered by the basic work is quite extensive, but as we expected, it spread. In this way we will be able to invest a good amount of hours both in single player modes and in local or online multiplayer. Thus, we find the classic Arcade mode which is always usual in this type of game, in which we must win eight rounds to complete it or we can try to see how many rounds we are able to endure. On the other hand we have campaign mode, which relives the most iconic fights for us; or we can also take advantage of the hands-on mode among other additions such as art galleries. Likewise, the multiplayer mode allows us to compete against friends or other players locally or onlineoffering two marked trails: informal and competitive. The latter has its own ranking system and leaderboards in order to feel some sense of progression, which will also lead to facing higher level rivals.

Before moving on to another topic, we would like to delve a little deeper into the campaign mode which is called star battle. This has undergone significant and very fitting changes, as real currency payments and battles against other players’ avatars have been eliminated. In this way, it is perhaps the best gateway to the title, despite having really complicated fights that will make us sweat to win. However, some of these more difficult confrontations are optional – the game itself tells us so – so that we can complete those that are strictly necessary. The modality has a total of 100 battles, which will make us control different characters and get rewards for completing them. In summary, this aspect of the game seems to us to be one of the most elaborate and complete, as well as the one that fans of the work of Araki.

change the third, the cast of characters included in this new version is absolutely overwhelming. On this occasion, we have all the characters included in the original work, plus the inclusion of a few others, such as: Robert EO Speedwagon, Diego Brando, Prosciutto, among others. So, the video game ended up reaching the figure of 50 playable characters each with their own set of gameplay and skills, as well as the option of having an assistant character. On the other hand, comment that the balance of the characters has been adjusted a bit, although some fighters on horseback or protagonists, such as Jotaro Kujo or Dio brando they still have an advantage; or so it seems…

As for the graphic part, it perfectly maintains the typography thanks to an irreproachable artistic direction. Design cel shading it’s neat and clean, achieving a style very similar, if not practically traced, to that of the anime itself. Likewise, the character animations and modeling are very well recreated with an exquisite level of detail, so nothing to criticize in this section. And as is normal in this type of adaptation, this section has seen substantial improvements. These result in greater sharpness thanks to the increase in resolution and frames per second (60fps).

conclusion

The Bizarre Adventure of Jojo All Star R It is a journal that cherishes the good work of CyberConnect2, which reaffirms its good hand in the face of this type of product based on licenses from the world of manga-anime. On the other hand, it seems to us to be one of the best adaptations of Araki’s work, thus assuming full homage and enjoyment in every respect for his faithful followers. Add to all that, the fact that this is not just a remaster, but a release that added substantial content and improvements; so it becomes an almost obligatory purchase for all fans.
