Jujutsu Kaisen Cursed Clash is the latest arena fighting game based on a popular anime that allows fans to relive their favorite fights. Quality can range wildly with these titles, with the best ones being truly great to being pretty dreadful . Cursed Clash lands firmly in the middle, with some truly interesting ideas and mechanics raising it above the forgettable, although some rough edges hold it back.
This means that you’ll want to boost your meter and figure out how to get your character’s unique special attacks to land — with some characters being quite difficult to master. When you’ve got a full meter, you can use ultra-powerful awakened moves, but these can be very hit-or-miss, with some having extremely long wind-ups that make them very difficult to ever pull off .
The same can be said for its story mode, which recreates all the arcs from Season 1 of the anime, plus the prequel movie Jujutsu Kaisen 0. Images from the show and voice-acted dialogue are present, although cutscenes are few and far between. Battles don’t have any moments that directly recreate sequences, as they’re instead just standard fights. It’s all the bare minimum for the most part, and the overall presentation leaves much to be desired.
