Kind of a weird, but different approach to arena-fighters. Competitive wise, this game shouldn't even be considered, let alone All Star Battle. It definitely scratches the Jojo itch, but only for like 2 to 4 weeks, would also call it a honeymoon game. Despite that, the campaign was unique and integrated manga only (at the time) characters, and even gave them dependent voice actors and colorings (based off of Araki). I do think that if another Jojo game came out that wasn't a remaster 2.5 fighter and an Japan only arcade game, that it would be a hit. Last potential was maining the Jojos in Jump Force, but we don't talk about JF here
I got this game for like $8.
If you're a JoJo fan you'll like this to some extent.
The combat is a bit dull, but the story is mode is decent.
I love how the artsyle feels like Araki's manga panels have come to life.
There are a lot of fun references and callbacks to all sorts of JoJo media, which makes this an amazing tribute, but other than that there's not much here.
There's no local co-op or versus which is dumb, but on top of that the netcode for this game is some of the worst I have ever seen.

The story is alternative, the main villain, DIO, went nuts at the end and decided to gather all the main and side characters of one universe. All the combat movements of the characters are shown perfectly in quite pleasant 3D, which can only be a good thing. The plot is filler, unfortunately, but there’s no better way to come up with it in this situation. Only for fans.
История альтернативна, главный злодей, ДИО, в конец офигел и решил собрать всех главных и побочных героев одной вселенной. Все боевые движения персонажей в достаточно приятном 3D показаны отлично, что может только радовать. Сюжет филерный, к сожалению, но тут лучше не придумать в этой ситуации. Только для фанатов данной вселенной.

One of the largest divides in quality i have ever seen in a video game. So much love and attention to detail is poured into the ui, characters, story and references in this game, the devs very clearly love jojo and wanted to make a great game with the property. Unfortunately they failed. Gameplay sucks. Not even a little fun.
I honestly thought that as a fan of the series, it always felt weird that people did not like this game, like the gameplay is weird and can be awkward at times, but I will admit there are somethings I like about it, the stages have more life and detail to them, some of the characters are fun to play as like N'doul, Johnny, ect. The one thing I believe saves this game is the story mode, it feels pretty ridiculous and yet cool at the same time, much like the actual series, pretty great.
