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 provide no discernable bonuses or advantages in battle. The playstyle is similar to that of other known CyberConnect2's Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm series, such as the combo mechanisms and the air to air combos. The game allows for online play through the PlayStation Network system.

Like in All Star Battle, characters are categorized by fighting Styles which change how each character plays in the game. Several were included in the original game, while others are brand new for new characters.

Storyline
This game's original storyline will center around timeline and universal interferences within the JoJo universe, first seen when Rohan finds DIO's Diary which Jotaro had burned post-Part III. The story will also involve the Saint Corpse Parts.

Chapter 1: Stardust Crusaders
Begins with the final battle between Jotaro and DIO at the end of Part III, as Jotaro defeats DIO as per the original story and burns his diary the following night. Then breaks off when a young Speedwagon stops Jotaro and Joseph at the airport on their way back to Japan 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.

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, with the exception of characters that did not appear in All-Star Battle. Some old character even has their new animation.

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 I= Part II= Part III= Part IV= Part V= Part VI= Part VII= Part VIII= 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.
