JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle R

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle R is a remaster of the fighting game JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle, released in 2013 for the PlayStation 3. It was developed by Japanese studio Cyberconnect2, the authors of the original.

Plot

True to its title, the game is based on the license of the Japanese comic book series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure by Hirohiko Araki, published since 1987 and repeatedly adapted into anime.

The game offers a story mode, recreating the first eight parts of the manga in a simplified form, allowing you to control the characters and play the most important battles from each story.

Game mechanics

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle R is a classic 2.5D fighting game. So you have to fight duels using heroes, each of whom has a unique fighting style. The graphics is made in 3D, but the characters move in two dimensions. The game features 50 playable characters from all the sagas of the comic book original, including Jonathan Joestar, DIO, Jotaro Kujo and Jolyne Cujoh.

Compared to the 2013 original, the remaster offers a heavily improved combat system. Controls and character balance have been improved, as well as additional techniques and combos. The game's cast also includes several new fighters - Yukako Yamagishi, Jotaro Kujo, F.F and Ikuro Hashizawa. The latter is the main character of Baoh: The Visitor, the manga that Hirohiko Araki created before JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

Game modes

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle R offers both solo play and multiplayer. Playing solo, we can, among other things, test ourselves in the All-Star Battle Mode, in which more than a hundred battles recreating the most important clashes from the manga await us.

The solo player can also enjoy the plotless Arcade Mode and the Training mode, as well as access the virtual artwork gallery. Multiplayer, on the other hand, offers battles on a single screen and online PvP competition against other players.

Technical aspects

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle R not only improves the gameplay, but also thoroughly refreshes the graphics, introducing higher resolution and improved effects.
