In the end, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven can be divisive. The new fighting system is fine, but the lack of depth in moves, a few cumbersome commands, and bad camera make it less fun to work with than the previous title.
I love this game. The good combos, paired with the fun mechanics, mwah. The storyline that always keeps you on the edge of your seat. The vast character pool, this game is amazing.
Eyes of Heaven tries perhaps too hard to translate the bizarre dynamics of the original work into a chaotic brawler which is kinda fun but also very frustrating to play. With no training mode or competitive/cooperative local play, you are stuck to a long story mode with tons of goodies to unlock.
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven isn’t going to send a ripple through the video game community, but it was never intended to. As a simple little love letter to fans, it succeeds despite taking its faults and the lofty requisites to truly treasure it.
Doesn’t mean I think it’s worth a full price tag purchase, but fans of the Joestars should find enjoyment in it. Everybody else, consult and test with your Bizarre Adventure-loving friend before dropping any coin on Eyes of Heaven.
Fun for a few bouts now and then, this is a brawler that doesn't quite do the original work justice - even if its nicely crafted story mode will keep fans entertained for at least a few hours.
It's a niche little experience. It's fun seeing characters from past, "present" (given how this stems from Part 3), future, and entirely alternate realities interact with each other, as well as all the cool details that can happen depending on your team combination and the stage itself. Though the downside being that really no matter whether your playing Jonathan, Joseph, Jotaro, Johnny, or Koichi, just to name a few who are all unique in their own way, the gameplay feels quite repetitive, it also feels rather unfair that if you, the player, die at any given moment, even if your AI partner is alive, the match is immediately lost.
Eyes of heaven is a failed fanservice game and also just a objectively bad fighting game. This is the ost generic playing fighting game i've probably have ever played. It does nothing new and the amount of annoying exploits in this game is downright embarrassing. The story is really bad as well it's so boring and repetitive and predictable. The only thing this game has going for it is playing as your beloved anime/manga heroes from jojo which is the main appeal of the game but it can't even succeed in that because the character designs in th game look awful compared to how they actually look in the source material and some of the character's movesets are so boring so you can't really be as cool as how the characters are in the anime/manga. And dear god don't get me started with the online. It really speaks for itself it is a laggy mess and lacking in any actual players to even play with. Geez this eyes of heaven had so much potential but it missed the mark so easily it's frustrating.
