Due to the overlapping IPs that you’ll find in this title, it seems that the writers had a real challenge on their hands making these characters have enough beef with each other to want a full-on fight to the death. The story within this title is bare-bones to say the least. Although players will probably find most similarities between this game and cross over fighting game Jump Force with its diverse list of anime characters from various franchises aiming to replicate the success of this AAA title. This title plays rather like the Dragonball-Z Budokai games, somewhat like the 2D retro fighters like Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat and Tekken. Within J-Stars Victory vs Plus, a PSP Vita version of the full console title, you get a chance to see behind the curtain and play as some of animes hidden gems in a game that offers a really tight handheld brawling experience. While shows such as Dragonball, Naruto, One Piece and other beloved mainstream anime franchises dominate the forefront of our minds when we talk about this form of media, the fact is that there are thousands of very well made and modestly popular anime titles that don’t get cast in the spotlight.

Ever since the earliest anime creations such as the 1963 introduction of Astro Boy, there has been a loyal fan base for this form of media, with Japan being at the epicentre of all things anime.
