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, JoJo no Kimyō na Bōken Aizu Obu Hebun) 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 on December 17, 2015 in Japan, June 28, 2016 in North America and July 1, 2016 in Europe.[2]

Gameplay

Eyes of Heaven is a 3D action brawler, 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, Sutairisshu Taggu JoJo Akushon), set in large arenas based on locations in the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure 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. The game doesn't allow local multiplayer but allows for online play through the PlayStation Network system.

During a match, each duo has to deplete the enemy team's health bar first in the time allowed by the timer. To do so, every character can perform basic attacks or special attacks and do them in succession to make a combo, these will take away a portion of the enemy health bar should they hit. Defensively, characters can block or make a fast step away to dodge attacks.

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, Dyuaru Konbo) and Dual Heat Attacks (デュアルヒートアタック, Dyuaru Hīto Attaku), though these provide no discernible bonuses or advantages in battle.

Like in All-Star Battle, characters are categorized by fighting Styles which dictates how each character plays in the game.

Storyline

The game features an original storyline supervised by Hirohiko Araki[3] and centers around timeline and universal interference within the JoJo universe, as well as the Saint Corpse Parts.
