As a vibrant and energetic revamp of a nine-year-old fighting game, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure All-Star Battle R succeeds in breathing new life into something quite niche, with meaningful tweaks to its fighting system, new features, and more, giving it a well deserved second chance.

Despite dropping the ball in one of the most important categories for a modern fighting game, this is a fighting game that stands out from the pack, plays great, and honors its source material more than it needed to, and that certainly counts for something.

The best video game adaptation of the wildest manga property gets a better-than-average port. For Jojo's fans only, though.

There’s something about JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure that just fascinates me. I never know if that anime is the single most ridiculous shonen ever made, intentionally or not. I never know if it’s meant to make fun of the ridiculousness of the genre, or if it’s just oblivious to how unsubtle it is. I am not the biggest shonen fan out there, yet I fell for this dumb series. You can thank Netflix and other streaming services for that, as well as word of mouth. Given the franchise’s resurge...

The options on offer here are pretty standard fare. Arcade, VS, Practice and “All Star Battle” is sort of your “Story” mode where you get to work your way through a bunch of scenarios. For example, fighting a character who replenishes their life periodically. It’s an interesting spin on a more traditional story mode but clearly takes some inspiration from Street Fighter Alpha 3’s World Tour mode. Which is never a bad thing.Overall JoJo is a pretty solid fighter and a pretty good upgraded port to boot. Some may find the price somewhat prohibitive given the semi-bare bones modes on offer combine...

Having JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle-R as an updated remaster of a classic in 2022 is a good thing, with the refined combat and huge roster being huge pluses. Still, it could have been a much more satisfying product if the online components were given the same attention to detail. While it may not match up against the best of modern fighting games out there, fans will get much more out of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle-R, and there's no arguing when you can have a good time.

In a post-Dragon Ball FighterZ world, there is a lot of hope for a jump in quality for anime games, particularly fighting games. Games are often great supplements to the source material and allow for more interaction with particular characters and settings. Few franchises are perfect for a new fighting…
