The plot is actually not half bad for a fighting game (it's not the main focus, after all), but the execution is doing it no favors. This neglect is apparent all throughout the game, but it's most noticeable in Jump Force's easily forgettable story mode. It's hard to do that when they're presented in such a putrid light. The entire point of Jump Force is to get closer to the characters you love. It had the opportunity to create the last anime game we'd probably ever want to play, but instead took a ton of shortcuts to rush something out of the door. It's more a shameless cash grab by Bandai Namco, who took what should have been a momentous occasion and decided to perverse it. I'll tell you how: because this game isn't the celebration that Shonen Jump deserves. We just wanted a good fighting game with all our favorite anime characters.
