Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle R — Globku Review

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure All Star Battle R review by Globku. Bandai Namco sent us Jojo All Star Battle R on PC, so it's time to review the gameplay, the roster, the systems, the story mode (?), and the online, including how ranked matches work and the netcode.

I honestly prefer all star battle mode since you can unlock costumes as well instead of locking off costumes in the boring campaign mode. I know story mode followed the original story but it still felt like basic battles because there was no cutscenes just text.

Am having a blast with my friends playing Jojo’s. Is truly a really fun experience, especially for Jojo fans!

TEAM BATTLE NEEDS TO BE ONLINE! It might split the playerbase a bit but that type of game mode is way more appealing to some people than 1 on 1.

There being no dedicated grab button is actually incorrect.
The button labeled "Flash Cancel(3 x ATK) actually doubles as a one-press grab button.

Just wanted to let people know as that was an inaccuracy in the review, which is the game's fault for never mentioning this anywhere in it's systems.

My wish came true for a new JoJo game to play, and I am having the time of my life. Gonna play the crap out of this with my roommates and friends

hey Globku, I was the example you kept showing to display the poor netcode, the reason why a lot of matches stutter so much is because outside of the core regions it struggles to place players on the correct servers. I am always on the EU servers, however I am from Australia, so the laggy matches you have to put up with me are the same as the matches I have to put up with versing anyone else. It sucks so bad being an AU player and not even crossing the devs minds, fingers crossed that one day CC2 learns so that we can both experience good ping on every occasion.

As someone who can't play online and has no friends I find this game really fun

[nuibaba]

Hard disagree. ASB Mode was better than Story Mode, if I wanted a rehash I'd just read the wiki. ASB Mode gave us new interactions that not even the main battles provided us with.

Don’t let this distract you from the fact bungee gum has the properties of both rubber and gum

[knarrow]

I don't agree with you on the single player content at all.

I prefer what we got in R over the original which was boring to play through.

I'm having a blast with All Star Mode and I prefer the arcade mode that we got despite its flaws.

[paladincomics]

I would just want to play this localy or through parsec so for those like me I'd say it's a B rank, pretty fun fighter if you have siblings/family/roommates to play with

[smonke]

I think for jojo fans looking for a Jojo game to play offline or with friends, this is literally A. The All Star Battle follows no story, but I know a lot of people who are just happy to stop the time as *someone* or shoot Ice Spikes as a flying bird or just look at the huge roster and try out some iconic abilities.

[jexusdomel]

I think it's unfair to say that the game is lacking so much in single player when compared to other fighting games it's doing more than the minimum. Honestly they should have had the story mode and the new mode at the same time, that would have been perfect imo.

as a huge jojo fan who just wants to play different matchups against cpus for fun i can't wait to get this game, i just hope they add more jojolion characters as DLC... wheres my tooru?

[Revenuts]

I played on my switch and got no issues that you mentioned, only 2 lagging issues so its not a problem and I played like 16 hours already. Im kinda suprised that switch got such less issues. Fun to play, defenietely worth getting

[VinylTinyjoe]

They add Rollback and boom you fix a HUGE issue and it brings in most of the FGC community to try the game. This is a game that most people are looking at and just calling another anime fighter which in literal sense… it is. BUT the effort this team has put even as little shows that they want and tried to make this more of a real fighting game and I think if they just added that rollback and nothing else the community itself will carry this game instead of it just living for maybe a month.

[darkdoctor]

I’m still gonna get this game, especially since I did not play the original, and I do need to get into the series

[melron]

I played online 30 times today, i didnt crash once, i did had lag once and about the rooms full its true that you got to just keep pressing sometimes other then that the online was pretty great for me, no crashes, no lags

[sickpoisoon]

You thought this was a game review, but it was me, Dio

[fathertaira]

Wanted one thing for this remaster:
Rollback netcode.
I’m glad they made it so that this amazing game is modern, but I could always just emulate this game and play online with rollback.
I unfortunately won’t be purchasing this. Another feelsbad moment from Bandai namco.
