Are YOU a filthy weeaboo? Do YOU smell like if rotten fish were dipped in excrement? Do YOU soypog at the idea of seeing your favorite anime characters battling it out in one of the biggest events in Japanese animated history? God do I have a game that will tickle you. For the low price of haggling with some online Japanese dickheads trying to scam you out of house and home via Ebay, you can share this experience. Use each character's unique move sets, each one accurate and faithful to their respective show, and prove once and for all that Goku does not, in fact, solo Saiki K. Or, if you're feeling especially degenerate, play through the several character based story mode. And watch your favorite anime protagonists interact with side characters from shows you haven't even heard of. God bless the Japanese.
Being the fanboy that I am I’m compelled to play any video game that has Goku’s face on it, but this one is just a hot pile of mid. Maybe I would’ve enjoyed it more if I recognized more than a handful of franchises represented here (if it didn’t play on Toonami or Adult Swim in the 2000s I don’t know what it is) but even then I don’t think that would’ve stopped the combat from getting boring after five minutes.
The story mode here is an absolute slog to get through, one of the worst I’ve played in a fighting game. I get that with the sheer amount of characters here having the story mode be fully voiced would’ve been expensive, but what we have here is a mode where you just watch jpegs talk to each other until you’re thrown into combat, rinse repeat until you get sick of it and eject the disc from your console.
If you just want a bunch of fan service I guess this is your game but otherwise stay far away

I love the amount of care that went into each character, stage, and even the interactions, however, it feels super bare bones, with a light number of unlockables, a pretty boring story mode, and a pretty substandard gameplay loop. If you are a fan of Jump history, there is some fun to be had here but it isn't much.
As a HunterXHunter fan, this is pretty fantasic. I really enjoyed learning combos with my favorite characters. The story mode is a total snoozer though. Why do all these epic cross-overs have no idea what to do with the concept. (don't answer that. I can imagine it's legal hell.)
I remember there being some stat boosting gotcha cards that you can equip (all with in-game money, not microtransactions thank god.) That part is kinda lame.
