JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure HD Lacks Frills, But Has Heart

In other fighting game playtests, I’ve talked about the ways in which modern fighting games (or rereleases) have all sorts of modes to bring you up to speed with how the game is working mechanically. In JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure HD, there is none of that. No tutorial mode to walk you through how to properly evade or use advancing guards, no “getting to know your stand” feature, and no individual character challenges to teach you combos.

You do get a tutorial in the form of a digital manual of sorts, and the game mercifully provides in-game command lists for every character, but outside of that, the learning experience is all on the player. This port feels like it came right out of the Dreamcast era, with only a few concessions to modernity.

So, what are those concessions? Well, you get an “HD” mode, which is primarily a single sprite filter (which actually looks quite nice in comparison to other, similar filters), the option to turn blood from the US version’s white to the Japanese version’s red, and the requisite online play. That’s about it.
