Players say the game is overpriced and recommend waiting for a sale. [1][2][3] Fans of the anime enjoy the fan service and character roster despite flaws. [1][4][5] The story mode is criticized for being a slideshow with few cutscenes. [6][7][8]

Cash grab game with a hollow interior. Not even joking there's only like 4 unique arenas and they look like they were made for the playstation 2. I regret spending my time , and my money on this.

One thing I want to state before getting into it is PLEASE WAIT TILL THIS GOES ON SALE! For the price they are asking is ridiculous. Okay, Starting off this game is meant for JJK fans. Sure this game isn't perfect, could this game had of been made better??? yes. Regardless I still enjoyed my time playing it. One more issue I had was the cut scenes. Honestly why didn't they just used the scenes from the actual anime? …

Absolutely loved this game strictly due to it being a jujutsu kaisen game Other than that It is quite a miserable experience Im not sure if im just bad at fighting games or not but i genuinely got so frustrated so many times playing The 2v1 missions were miserable, i constantly got locked into enemy attacks and consistently couldnt move or attack because id be stunned or downed Its actually really fun to play …

This game is actually fun, Is it worth the price? No. Just wait until it goes on sale like i did for $20

The game had a very bad launch, but the devs worked on this game and improved it a lot. However, the damage was done and people wrote this actually good game off. Also not worth the full price, get it during a sale.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →piece of ♥♥♥♥ game, multiplayer doesn't work just play jujutsu shenanigans

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nah, I'd refund. ========================== Jokes aside, the game is very unpolished. Without DLC, the story mode is extremely brief while the story is told in literal slideshow. The gameplay isn't the most impressive either, attack patterns feel very spammy and once you concede your opponents hit, you are basically paralyzed for a few seconds. For the advantages, all characters are animated well, the graphics, the movement, everything is on point. The game is really fun to play with your…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →🟨 Not Recommended – Strong fan service ideas, weak execution Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash had real potential. The concept of seeing characters fight who never met in the anime is exciting, and some of the visuals and special techniques genuinely look great. But once you get past the surface, the game starts to feel rushed and poorly thought out. Controls are clunky, presentation is inconsistent, and core story arcs are locked behind expensive DLC. Unless you’re a die-hard JJK fan, this is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Shibuya Incident begins in Jujutsu Kaisen Cursed Clash on Thursday!
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm leaving a thumbs down not because I hate the game. But because it is slop with expensive DLCs. I only play this when I'm craving JJK content. It's not unplayable but I don't think it's worth the 60 Dollars + the DLCs. Do note: The Joint attacks don't get any cooler after the 6000th time seeing it. Overall I wouldn't buy this game unless if you want to eat JJK slop tbh. (I personally do want to eat JJK slop)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just please add Hakari, I wanna gamble, it's still not a bad game. Is it worth the price? No, ALTHOUGH, the gameplay is still decent. Is this story good? I mean, just watch JJK for the story, this game is just a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ slideshow Are DLC's worth? Not necessarally but the shibuya incident is pretty worth, Premature death, no. All I want is my goat Hakari, I hope they add him in the next DLC which will probably be the culling games.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Jujutsu Kaisen deserves a better game than this. If you absolutely feel like you must own this game, buy it on a sale. It's not awful, but it's not great either. At least Nanami's beautiful.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yeah no the people that bought this and didn't feel scammed after playing would also buy 50 dollar toilet paper if it had Anime marketing. Had hoped my issues with it would be adressed after release. Was my dumbassery to assume so.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →people make this game seem much worse than it is, but if youre just playing to try out the characters, its pretty fun. i am pretty disappointed in the story mode only having like a slideshow and like 3 actual cutscenes, but overall i think its a great game. def overpriced tho
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is actually fun, Is it worth the price? No. Just wait until it goes on sale like i did for $20
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Only bought it because it was on discount. sucks to be honest.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →tldr; not worth full price, get it on sale as a joke; combos are literally punch punch punch and kick kick kick it's just not a full game, it's ninjastorm-esque slop and there aren't really any combos. very little skill expression, story scenes are just screenshots from the anime (which, to be fair, I don't really care about but it's a point nonetheless), and all around just a terrible game. you're better off picturing a jjk game in your head and playing that.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is great but the presentation leaves a lot to be desired, and the lack of online support is terrible. If they gave the game actual cutscenes and fixed the online, the game would be 10/10 for me. I'm going to keep playing but I'm disappointed to say the least.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game could be good but just doesn't have enough replay ability or enough characters in the rosters to make it worth the price, ( even when i got it on sale ).
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →incredibly half-assed game. all '' hard '' combat are just enemies with hyperarmour on everthing and that's it. and it's incredibly clunky, with a lot of characters if you do a combo you can't land the finishing attacks if you pushed the enemy towards a ramp or the edge of the arena
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is one of the worst games i've played in my entire life
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Trashy game highly reliant on teammates when most players are either sweaty losers running away trying to play in the most efficient way or mentally restarted. Also impossible to find matches without being part of a discord server.

neutral · AI labelView post →Mods definitely saved this game. I purchased this game when it was on sale (which is the only time you should buy this game) and installed a bunch of mods to improve the gameplay and make it more enjoyable. I love JJK and getting to play through the story especially Hidden Inventory/Premature Death was pretty great. But buy this game on sale and for sure install mods.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i just wish they would've continued the game and added more updates or revamped it before giving up on it. 10/10 with mods though!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is fun but doesnt really update anymore and is very short, i wouldnt reccomend buying it, I would buy it only if it was on 60% discount or more. either way the game it self is fun

negative · AI labelView post →The games decent(ish) it just needs a remake and some polishing. If the game hasnt been abandoned I would love to see the culling games arc as a DLC. Here's to hoping the game gets updated!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love jjk. However, this game has very few players. This means that your first and every pvp match is against rank 1 players. You will get stomped on everytime which is not enjoyable and the excuse just get good is not worth the time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Add Higuruma and Takaba, and I’ll give you my heart and soul
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its like, good but not good. If only they had the budget to make cutscenes instead of reusing the anime scenes, a little lackluster on the roster too. Combat is fun tho. Get it on sale

neutral · AI labelView post →This game is over hated. It's incredible with friends and the Online was great if you knew how to actually work with another person. It's main issues were connection stuff, people being upset because it wasn't a Storm clone, and the visuals for some Ultimate's were underwhelming, I like this game because it's where you Jump someone with your friend, That's the Point. This wouldn't feel the same, and honestly I think would've been worse. Storm is so grounded and the movement hasn't changed in…

neutral · AI labelView post →this game has very low graphic for a game from in the 2020s, i would recommend this game if you love JJK other than that the game isn't really that fun for me. For short the game is not that fun but if you want to buy it, buy it during a sale/discount. Note: the ultimate edition dosen't give you Shibuya DLC and the controls work by keyboard not keyboard and mouse (example: using you keyboard like a gaming contorler, the controls are also weird). also if by the time you see this its already…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is, indeed, quite an expensive game, very brief and boring story mode. Still, as a Jujutsu Kaisen fan, I find it an awesome way to spend time with our favourite characters. Aside the crazy amount of DLCs and game price, it still is a fun game to play on Multiplayer or Solo.

neutral · AI labelView post →it was fun but i was sad cause im like one of the very few players and that means playing online takes a long time to get in a game which is very sad, super fun game tho would recomend fr fr
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is alright, but is it $80 good? Hell ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ no. Wait for a sale.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not a bad game. I would recommend it if you're a fan of JJK overall. It pretty much follows the anime with excuses here and there to make characters fight where they wouldn't have otherwise. I tried playing online versus a couple of times and it seems either no one is playing anymore or the servers are just trash - the timer runs out when I'm trying to find a match so I'm stuck in a loop of never finding one. Not sure if I just missed out on the hype when this game first came out. Would love…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It hurts... Look, it just hurts. The game HAD potential. It HAD it. And it missed, hard as f*ck. I don't mind it being an arena fighter, the anime itself has a lot of open spaces so it "makes sense" this game to be an arena fighter. But 2v2? What? Where did this come from? A 1v1 would be way better. The momvement? It's... "Decent"? The combos and attacks are just awful, they don't make sense at all. And there's no tutorial at all, to teach you the ins-and-outs, so good luck figuring sh!t…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →honestly i love this game at first i thought diffrently based on the comments but then it turned out i liked this game very much. i would recommend to any jjk fans.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Kind of slop ngl wish there was a JJK game that followed the lead of other critically-acclaimed anime fighting games like Dragon Ball Sparking Zero. JJK deserves better.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My friends and I love spamming Black Flash and Hollow purple at each other.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought the deluxe for only 20$ so yea it's worth it (Don't buy at full price, the story sucks it's just that the characters are cool. The combat is decent but still nice)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its really fun with all the people in the show with voise lines i would play it for so long
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →not worth full price, but its a nice game for 20 bucks, ignoring the slide show story telling, the gameplay isnt that bad, for 20 bucks on sale the deluxe gives you jjk 0 jjk season 1 + hidden inventory. im not usually one for these kinds of games, but cursed clash is so simple to pick up and play that even i had alot of fun
