The Jujutsu Kaisen game hasn't been released yet, but fans have already canceled it.
Summary:
In the announcement trailer, we saw key characters from the Gege Akutami saga, using their powers in battles with each other.
Fans are annoyed that the game doesn't offer anything new and simply exploits old templates.
Even within the fighting game genre, many players would be more happy to accept a project made in 2D/2.5D like Dragon Ball FighterZ.
In July 2023, it was announced that Bandai Namco Entertainment, famous for its Tekken and Soulcalibur series, as well as fighting games based on Naruto and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure (JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken), would release a game in the Jujutsu Kaisen universe. In the announcement trailer, we saw key characters from the Gege Akutami saga, including Yuji Itadori, Nobara Kugisaki and Satoru Gojo, using their powers in battles with each other. It is already known that the game will be released on February 1, 2024. It will be available on PC (Steam), PS4/PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
What's wrong with Jujutsu Kaisen Game?
The gameplay of Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash is 2-on-2 fights in limited arenas. The player will be given the opportunity to create their own pairs of heroes for battles, and in total there will be more than 15 characters from the original manga by Gege Akutami to choose from. Each of the heroes has a unique synergy with other characters, so the player will be able to make inventive combinations based on the interaction of the two heroes. In addition, explosive attacks will be available, whose power depends on the strength level of a particular character.
Despite the seemingly warm reception at first after the announcement of Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash, fans began to have more and more questions for the creators. The main problem for them is the monotonous game mechanics, which can be found in other games based on anime (in particular, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi and Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm). Fans are annoyed that the game, in fact, doesn't offer anything new and simply exploits old templates. Some people have jokingly noted that there are several games on Roblox whose animation is much better than what was shown in the Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash trailer.
What kind of game would fans of Gege Akutami's story like to see?
It seems that many would like an action slasher in the spirit of Devil May Cry and God of War, but Bandai Namco Entertainment doesn't want to take risks and sticks to the proven fighting game formula. Even within the fighting game genre, many players would be more happy to accept a project made in 2D/2.5D like Dragon Ball FighterZ, or action role-playing like Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. These games were warmly received by fans and were a resounding commercial success. They sold millions of copies. Fans have been asking Arc System Works, the team behind Dragon Ball FighterZ, to make a Jujutsu Kaisen or Chainsaw Man game, but the studio isn't interested at the moment as the developers are busy with other projects.
