JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven (ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 アイズオブヘブン) is a tag team fighting game based on the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure franchise, developed by CyberConnect2 and published by Namco Bandai Games exclusively for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4.

The game features 52 playable characters (53 with first print bonus), ranging from Phantom Blood to JoJolion. It was announced in the January 15, 2015, issue of Famitsu and was presented at Jump Festa 2015.

The game was released in Japan on December 17, 2015 and will be released in Hong Kong in January 2016, Western territories in Summer 2016.

Gameplay
Eyes of Heaven is a fighting game described as Stylish Tag JoJo Action (スタイリッシュタッグジョジョアクション) set in large arenas based on locations in the manga. Players may pick a single character to control in a large environment, as well as a second character that may be controlled by either a CPU or second human player to fight the enemy team for a 2v2 battle. Certain match-ups contain special animations and dialogue between two characters, mostly between allies in the form of unique combination attacks such as the Dual Combos (デュアルコンボ) and Dual Heat Attacks (デュアルヒートアタック), though these provide no discernible bonuses or advantages in battle. The playstyle is similar to that of CyberConnect2's Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm series in which it relies on combo mechanisms and the air to air combos. Like in All Star Battle, characters are categorized by fighting Styles which dictates how each character plays in the game. The game allows for online play through the PlayStation Network system.

Storyline
The game features an original storyline supervised by Hirohiko Araki and centers around timeline and universal interference within the JoJo universe, as well as the Saint Corpse Parts.

Chapter 1: Stardust Crusaders
Begins with the final battle between Jotaro and DIO at the end of Part 3, as Jotaro defeats DIO as per the original storyline and burns his diary the following night. On their way back to Japan, Jotaro and Joseph are stopped by a young Speedwagon at the airport shortly before Polnareff returns to them, claiming to have been attacked. The three subsequently encounter the thought-to-be-deceased Avdol and Iggy, who meet the group with hostility. After incapacitating the two, Jotaro, Polnareff, and Joseph are attacked by Kakyoin and N'Doul shortly afterward, who were also thought to have been dead.

Chapter 2: Vento Aureo
A brief summary of the events of Vento Aureo is shown as Jotaro and Speedwagon appear at the Colosseum where Mista, Trish, and Giorno reside having defeated Diavolo. After Mista and Trish suddenly disappear, Giorno is attacked by a Buccellati, whom was originally suppose to be dead. Bruno is quickly fended off after Jotaro arrives at the scene and the two are then challenged by Narancia and Fugo. After their defeat, Fugo disappears, but Jotaro is able to heal Narancia using the life energy and brings him to their side. Jotaro and Giorno head to the Naples Station where they find Polnareff; Giorno feels like he knows Polnareff from somewhere but cannot remember. Buccellati appears once again with Vanilla Ice and after a brief bout, the two escape. Soon after, Trish, Mista, and Narancia appear and they recognize who Polnareff is, claiming that he is "Polnareff the Turtle." Polnareff gets confused by this, so the group decides to it's best to pretend they don't know him.

Dual Heat Attacks
Dual Heat Attacks (デュアルヒートアタック) are cinematic team combo specials that can be activated once the Dual Heat Gauge is filled in a match. It's activated sound effect was simillar with the Time Stop sound from All-Star Battle.

Most DHA's consist of the secondary player attacking briefly, followed by the player who initiated the attack performing a cinematic move reminiscent of a HHA or GHA from All-Star Battle.

Some specific character combinations, however, have their own unique cinematic animations, usually recreating scenes from the manga or completely new scenarios. Teams with these types of DHA's are listed below:

Part 1= Part 2= Part 3= Part 4= Part 5= Part 6= Part 7= Part 8= Josuke Higashikata & Joshu Higashikata: Josuke and Joshu discuss about their "friendship", then Joshu runs towards the opponent to attack, not noticing that Josuke steals the ground's friction with Soft & Wet, which makes him slip and spin out of control into the opponent.

Stages
Due this game is 3D Area fighting, stages are much larger in comparison to All-Star Battle, with massive and dynamic 3D environments; Stages have varying altitudes such as second (sometimes even third or more) floors, platforms of different heights, and hills, meaning battles can take place on slopes, stairs, or across wide gaps.

Much like All-Star Battle, most of the stages possess gimmicks, hazards, and situation finishers. When a Situation Finish is performed on the correct character and replicates the original scene, a colored manga panel is displayed.

Trivia

 * A demo was presented at Jump Festa 2015 with 7 characters: Joseph Joestar, Caesar Zeppeli, Rudol von Stroheim, Jotaro Kujo, Noriaki Kakyoin, Josuke Higashikata and Diego Brando. It was released afterwards on PSN for PS4 only.
 * Unlike the previous game, most of the pre-Part 4 character's voice actors, default color scheme and clothing match their anime counterparts.
 * Some characters outside the anime, prior to Part 4's anime debut were also recast as a result of their voice actors being used in the anime. Except for Pucci, whose previous seiyuu in All-Star Battle reprises his role as Vanilla Ice in the anime, and thus gaining a new seiyuu.
 * According to an interview with CyberConnect2's boss, Hiroshi Matsuyama, the game will have no paid-DLC and micro-transitions.
 * Another interview details the process that went into deciding what characters to feature in the game, with the developer saying that there were 120 characters put up for consideration and the list was gradually narrowed down to the 52 that made it into the game. Leone Abbacchio made it into beta testing, but there were difficulties in making Moody Blues viable in gameplay, particularly with how they planned on making it replay other characters' attacks. Ringo Roadagain, various denizens of Morioh, and others were also considered as characters.
 * In the Naples Station stage there is a sign displaying Araki's previous work, Gorgeous Irene.
