It is repetitive and it recycles a lot of plot elements from the manga instead of doing anything new. While a new story is a welcome change from just retelling the story of the manga, the story mode is still something of a letdown. With the JoJo reality in chaos, it is up to the player to uncover the truth and set things right again. The story of Eyes of Heaven is an original narrative set in the JoJo universe: a mysterious distortion of reality is causing chaos, returning already dead characters back to life and making them servants to the mysterious Noble One. The lack of local multiplayer is also a weird choice from the developers, as I think the game would have been quite entertaining to play with a friend. The camera can also be a nuisance at times, especially when the enemy you are locked onto is above or below you. While the combat is mostly entertaining and well-done, the gameplay is not entirely unproblematic: most of the battles can be won with simple, mindless button mashing. There are also powerful tag team attacks that can be performed with two characters. The combat is done by utilizing the combos and special abilities of the characters.

The player controls one of the characters of a team, while the other one is controlled by a computer (or another player if you play online). The arenas contain objects that can be used by the fighters, as well as stage hazards that will damage any unfortunate soul that gets hit by them. One of the more recent games is 2015’s Eyes of Heaven.Įyes of Heaven is an arena fighting game, with the matches consisting of 2 vs.2 battles fought in large 3D-arenas. And like many other anime series, it too has been adapted to video game form many times. JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is a long-running and beloved manga and anime series, following the adventures of the Joestar family as they fight evil in a stylish and bizarre fashion. Eyes of Heaven is a bizarre game, but is it bizarre enough?
