![]() Some moves will attempt to position you as part of the attack, seeing you charge towards foes ready to strike, but that just leaves you open to a counterattack. A pull of the right trigger changes these to special moves that deal massive damage, but must be timed and positioned right in order to work. Here, you’re free to focus on your attack and defense instead.Ĭontrols are kept simple, with light/heavy attacks, grab, and jump, all on the face buttons. The camera follows your enemy’s position from a pulled back third-person view, eliminating the problem a lot of 3D fighters have – keeping track of the action and your opponent. All battles are one-on-one affairs, though occasionally you’ll have a team of two or three that you can swap between at will. ![]() Easily the best part of the game, it’s clear most of the focus went here. The plot’s fairly standard anime stuff really, the hook of all the different universes colliding no more outlandish than the skinny kid who can destroy a Super Sayain with ease. Of course, this means you can now join the Jump Force in protecting the world from ne’er-do-wells. Using an Umbra cube, he is able to bring you back as a hero, giving you power beyond that which you had before, allowing you to stand toe-to-toe with the strongest warriors around. A stray death ray hits a passerby, but thankfully, Trunks is on hand to revive them. We start the game with him attacking a city as Goku, Luffy and Naruto attempt to fend him off. This all comes about at the hands of Frieza. It’s a bit of a shame that there are no custom moves for your avatar, but really, being able to have the Burning Attack and Kamehameha in one person is fine by me. Once created, various outfits can be unlocked through play, as well as other characters’ special moves for use in battle. The options available are quite extensive, allowing you to design the anime hero of your dreams! Or at least your twisted vision of what would happen if Kenshiro and Piccolo had a love child, whatever floats your boat. With such a broad range of loved properties, perhaps animating them all faithfully would be too demanding a task, but things have gone too far the other way.Īlleviating this somewhat is the custom character that you create at the start of the game. ![]() The use of Unreal engine allows fancy effects, but outside of the battles, everything looks a bit early era 360. Realistic textures and lighting mixed with the anime proportions (those eyes… those dead, unblinking, soulless eyes) gives the whole aesthetic a feel of a Steam fan that’s learning to mod. The choice of a more realistic look for the art style doesn’t help matters either. Animations are stiff, almost non-existent at times, with most scenes seeing them standing, slightly swaying from side to side, while voice work turns into basic text-boxes that don’t really have the tone or inflection of the characters. But it’s not long before things just feel off. The opening scenes, as well as select cutscenes later in the game, are fully voiced (in Japanese, by the anime’s voice cast it would seem, judging by the DBZ characters) and feature over the top action and effects. But at least I’ve got a few recommendations for things to check out! Unfortunately, while the roster is large, characters often come off as poor imitations. Each franchise is represented by at least a couple of characters, though to be honest, a lot of them were lost on me. Chances are if you’re into anime, there’ll be someone here you know and love. From Dragonball Z to Naruto, through to shows and Mangas that I’ve never heard of. ![]() Well, there’s certainly a large, varied cast here.
