    JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R on Nintendo Switch is a mostly great port, but one that is lacking when it comes to online stability compared to other platforms. With smart changes to the environments, the developers have done a fine job with making it look good on Nintendo's hybrid system. If you're after a content-packed anime fighter, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R is well worth your time.

    While you won't find an Evo-calibre fighting game here depth-wise, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure All-Star Battle R is miles ahead of your typical 3D-arena anime fighter affair. It would be a hard game to recommend to someone unfamiliar with the franchise, as without the fan service aspect you’re left with a basic fighter with some barebones modes. However, for those who adore JoJo, it’s an excellent example of how to do fan service right, and one where you can feel the love and adoration of the franchise's 35-year history flowing through every part of the package.

    If you mean to seriously get into JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R, you’re probably better off heading over to one of the other platforms where it runs at 60 fps. This Switch port is solid enough to play, however, and JoJo fans will likely have a good time with it. Discriminating fighting game aficionados will probably want to look elsewhere for their Switch satisfaction, though.

    With its fan-service and multiple references, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure All-Star Battle R is above all dedicated to the community keen on the work of Hirohiko Araki. A pampered remaster of the eponymous title from the PlayStation 3 toy library, it offers an impressive cast and gameplay that is as technical as it is dynamic. If the balance of forces is not optimal (some characters are much more powerful than others), CyberConnect2's game has enough assets to convince fighting enthusiasts. Provided you know the manga or anime. Otherwise, Battle R may be far too hermetic for neophytes and non-connoisseurs of manga.

    This is an experience tailored solely for rabid JoJo fans and no one else. On the bright side, it makes for a perfect excuse to finally hop aboard the JoJo train! Only after emerging from that rabbit hole can you enjoy All-Star Battle R for what it is. [Issue #62 – November/December 2022, p. 73]

    Though the switch version is admittedly not the best choice of playing the game, the game is great! You have a plethora of characters rangingThough the switch version is admittedly not the best choice of playing the game, the game is great! You have a plethora of characters ranging from Parts 1 (Phantom Blood) all the way to Part 8 (JoJolion), and the same amount to select when choosing your assists. Though I am a bit sad that some parts feel under represented, it is fairly easy to pick up your favorite characters and start training to pull off your own unique combo! Though I'm not likely to purchase any upcoming DLC from the on-going season pass, I'm excited to see what the future holds for this game.… Expand

I think the network problem isThe network is sometimes unstable, but I think this is the best JJBA console games made by CyberConnect2. I think the network problem is overlapped with the problem of Nintendo Switch itself. But I think JOJO ASBR has fixed the drawbacks of Vanila ASB, but CC2 has to take more care of the balance problem, based by Diavolo and Risotto Nero, etc.… Expand

That's not to say you won't get any enjoyment out of it if you've never watched the anime or read the manga, but its core audience will be the only ones that will enjoy this game.

MK11 has 60 FPS in battles, Dragon Ball FighterZ has a dynamic resolution which shrinks when there's tons of lasers and stuff on screen and it still manages to look great, so it baffles me that they didn't do this trick here. For a fighting game 60 FPS is a must and it's a damn shame such a fun game is barely playable on Switch.… Expand
