Jujutsu Kaisen Cursed Clash

“In the moment when Jujutsu Kaisen is scoring all the Anime Awards, the players get only half-baked game. It Works at start but fades so quickly with poor execution, lack of modes and empty arenas. Not even 15 fighters can save this combat game.”

“Jujutsu Kaisen Cursed Clash boils the elements of the show down to a fighting game that's likely to appeal only to fans of the show. Even to them, we have to suggest there are many fighting games out there to better occupy your time.”

“Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash falls significantly short, delivering an underwhelming and superficial gaming experience that fails to leverage the rich potential of its source material.”

“Jujutsu Kaisen Cursed Clash is not at all up to the manga or the anime. It could have been a good adaptation if it had benefited from care, ideas and consistency in its development. He does not honor his genre nor the manga he is supposed to adapt. The rendering is catastrophic, embarrassing and shameful for any lover of JJK.”

“Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash had all the makings to be a pleasant surprise, but it manages to fail in every single way, with a poor game both in terms of quality and content.”

“Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash responds to the popularity of the Japanese animation series Jujutsu Kaisen with two seasons now. This is the only positive thing we can say about this title. This is partly because the Story Mode consists of short boring missions where the tough characters feel incredibly boring. And that is not already, but also the limitation of the story to the first season and the film is disappointing. Environments look recognizable, but for the rest Jujutsu Kaisen is: Cursed Clash an insult to the fans.”

“Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash offers a unique and original two-on-two combat system, focused on cooperative play, but presented in an unattractive packaging with little love for the license.”

“The only way I could recommend this game, that is only for die-hard fans of Jujutsu Kaisen, this to add it to the collection of mangas, figures, plushies and more. On the other hand, if you like the saga only casually or are looking for a video game that is fun, I am sad to say that this is not your place.”

“If it weren't for the absence of a local cooperative mode and the exaggerated simplicity of the story mode, Cursed Clash would have been a great debut for Jujutsu Kaisen on consoles. Despite lacking polish in certain aspects of combat, the game itself fulfills its purpose of being fun to play. Fans of the series will certainly find positive things here. However, the feeling remains that it could have been bigger and better, something on par with what the anime delivered in its first two seasons.”

“Even going in with an open mind and no expectations, Jujutsu Kaisen Cursed Clash ends up disappointing. With ideas that are actually nice, the game fails in something extremely important, which is execution.”

“Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash is unfortunately cursed trash. Its shallow, unsatisfying combat system fails to capture the balletic brilliance of the anime and manga's striking skirmishes, and its disjointed single player campaign is unlikely to be enjoyed by franchise faithfuls or prospective new fans. Given the enormous popularity of Gege Aktusami's series, it's frankly unfathomable how badly Bandai Namco has dropped the ball here.”

“Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash draws heavily from the anime, which is evident in most of the story’s cinematic scenes. While the music and overall design added a distinctive charm that made parts of the adventure enjoyable, the short story length and the game’s overall ease made its price feel unjustified.”

“Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash totally misses the mark, lending itself to even serious problems and only partly attributable to the low budget evidently made available for development.”

“Because of the disappointing presentation and lack of engaging modes, Jujutsu Kaisen Curshed Clash is difficult to recommend to anyone other than the most invested JJK veterans. While the characters and ultimate attacks can look great with well-constructed animations, the gameplay fails to be addicting enough to entice players to keep coming back. The franchise is an incredible vehicle for a great fighting game, but unfortunately that potential has not been realized in Jujutsu Kaisen Curshed Clash.”

“Lacking both depth and balance, Cursed Clash is ultimately a transparent attempt at trying to sell something solely based on its association with a popular IP.”

“Finally, if you consider yourself a true fan of Jujutsu Kaisen, you may not miss this game, since you seek to offer us something that feels faithful to this work, although its negative aspects tarnish the good it can give you. With an acceptable number of iconic characters, in addition, you will be able to enjoy giving Ryomen Sukuna a well-deserved beating (for all the atrocities committed).”

“Jujutsu Kaisen Cursed Clash is a failed cash-in on an incredibly popular manga and anime franchise, that doesn't seem to understand what makes that franchise so popular to begin with.”

“Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash feels like nothing more than a soulless cash grab that likely exists only to fleece money from unsuspecting fans of the series. With lackluster combat, bare-bones modes, janky controls and an overall sense of unrefined gameplay, there is almost no reason I can recommend this game, even to JJK super-fans.”

“Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash could have pleased fans, but it falls short. Despite the quality of the anime and manga, the game is technically lacking. It feels rushed or unfinished, with uninspired text-based menus and a poorly implemented UI. The gameplay tries to do too much and fails to deliver, with online four-player battles often feeling random and frustrating due to unreasonable lag. Steam reviews reflect a mixed reception, with only 56% positive. Even the story mode is underwhelming, lacking 3D environments and relying on static text and images from the anime. A wasted potential.”

“If all you’re looking for is fan service, I guess Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash provides it, though it adds almost nothing to the established lore or characters. If you’re primarily interested in Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash as an anime-inspired fighting game, look elsewhere. A very short story mode, no 1v1 matches, poor design choices, and an overall lack of polish more often than not overshadow some occasionally fun combat.”
