JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Records (ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 ダイヤモンドレコーズ, JoJo no Kimyō na Bōken Daiyamondo Rekōzu) is a free mobile game for Android and iOS.

The game was revealed in the January 2017 issue of Ultra Jump. It was released on February 20, 2017, in Japan.

Gameplay

Diamond Records is a 3D action gashapon style mobile game featuring content from the first four parts of JoJo: Phantom Blood, Battle Tendency, Stardust Crusaders, and Diamond Is Unbreakable. It is free-to-play with some in-app item purchases.[2]

Players are able to fight against other known characters from the series as they appear in the anime adaptation and a number of common enemies exclusive to each part such as Vampires, Zombies (both vampire-created and Justice's army), Nazi soldiers, or delinquents in beat 'em up style mob battles within a number of 3D arenas also taken from locations featured in the series.

Statues

Characters are used as Statues (スタチュー, Sutachū), in-game figures of characters from the series which have varying statistics in HP (health/hit points), ATK (attack), and DEF (defense). In accordance with their value, figures have levels going up to level 99 and a rarity value rated into stars, going from 3-Star to 5-Star rarity. 3-Star Statues are silver, 4-Star Statues are gold, and 5-Star Statues are rainbow-colored.

Statues can be organized into a Team (チーム, Chīmu) of three, with one Statue being designated as leader.

If a duplicate statue is unlocked which the player already has, it combines with the statue in their collection and increases its stats.

DoDoDo Mode

Dealing damage fills SFX-shaped gauges surrounding a heart button at the bottom of the screen. Once at least a single gauge is completely filled, hitting said heart will activate DoDoDo Mode (ドドドモード, Dododo Mōdo). During DoDoDo mode, temporary benefits will be granted to the character while the screen darkens and changes to a deep magenta color. The effects vary depending on the element of the character using it.

Elements

Each character has an element, which is displayed as an icon next to their name.

  • Courage (勇気, Yūki): Courage is displayed with a Blue Star icon. Courage-type characters gain increased defense and movement speed, as well as suffer from less knockback during DoDoDo Mode. They have an advantage over Fighting Spirit-type characters.
  • Fighting Spirit (闘志, Tōshi): Fighting Spirit is displayed with a Red Heart icon. Fighting Spirit-types gain increased attack and movement speed during DoDoDo Mode. They have an advantage over Intelligence-type characters.
  • Intelligence (知略, Chiryaku): Intelligence is displayed with a Green Diamond icon. Intelligence-types have no cooldown for their Skills and SP Skills, and SP Skill uses do not decrease during DoDoDo Mode. They have an advantage over Courage-type characters.

Skills

Every character comes with their own Growth Tree (成長ツリー, Seichō Tsurī) where the player can use materials to upgrade the Statue's stats and unlock skills. Certain areas of the Growth Tree are locked and require Expansion Keys in order to activate them.

There are regular skills which are shown by a blue icon and can be used infinitely with a cool-down. SP skills are shown in pink and have limited usage. Some SP skills also have cinematic cutscenes.

Minds

Statues can be equipped with special items called Minds (マインド, Maindo), which consist of an image from various scenes of the anime. They vary in rarity from 1-4 stars, and can boost stats, grant other bonuses under special conditions, or unlock exclusive skills for characters. Statues have a limit called CP to determine how many Minds can be equipped. One-star Minds have a copper frame, two-star Minds have a bronze frame, three-star Minds have a silver frame, and four-star Minds have a gold frame. Minds that can be equipped have levels from 1-10, with stronger effects when the level is increased.

There is another type of Mind which can only be used once by a Statue rather than staying in the player's box. These Minds are experience multipliers and have different icons. One-star experience Minds are bronze, two-star Minds are silver, three-star Minds are gold, and four-star Minds are rainbow-colored.

  • Elements (Blue Star, Red Heart, Green Diamond) held by Harvest on a Medal (1-3 Stars)
  • Trophies (1-4 Stars)
  • Golden Frogs (3 Stars)

At the moment, there are a total of 136 Minds that can be collected.

Currency

  • AP allows missions to be played. There is a limit to the amount of AP that a player has, which can be increased by ranking up. AP can be restored by using a sandwich item or by spending a diamond coin.
  • Materials are unlocked by completing quests. There are different items such as bracelets and necklaces, colored red, blue, and green. They are used in the Growth Tree to upgrade stats and unlock skills.
  • Gold is used to level up Statues and Minds by additionally using Medals, Trophies, Golden Frogs, or other Minds.
  • Friendship Points are obtained by using another player's Statue as support.
    • 100 Friendship Points - Unlocks one common Mind (1 star or 2 stars).
    • 1000 Friendship Points - Unlocks ten common Minds.
  • Diamond Coins are usually unlocked by completing challenges or by successfully achieving all three missions in the final battle of a story mode quest. The coins have multiple uses, but are mainly for unlocking Statues and 3-4 star Minds.
    • 1 Diamond Coin - Used to revive all characters to full health if the whole team is knocked out in battle. Can alternatively be used to fully recover AP or to increase the player's box capacity by five.
    • 3 Diamond Coins - Unlocks a random Mind that will be added to the player's collection.
    • 5 Diamond Coins - Summons a random Statue that will be added to the player's collection.
    • 30 Diamond Coins - Unlocks ten random Minds that will be added to the player's collection.
    • 50 Diamond Coins - Summons ten random Statues that will be added to the player's collection.
