The game uses the touchscreen as the main form of interaction, allowing the player to input commands using their fingers. Combat against enemies is done using Medal, particularly "Striker" Medals, each of which represents one character and their ability set. Like some card battler games, players must take into account a medal's available health and special attacks as well as take advantage of combo systems that will chain stronger attacks together.
Medal Strikers also possess different colors, each color has an advantage and a disadvantage over specific others (Red has an advantage over Green, Green over Blue, and Blue over Red. Yellow and Black Strikers have advantages and disadvantages against each other).
In addition to battle segments, Stardust Shooters includes animated sequences and character models featuring the entire JoJo cast from the animated parts.
Characters and FINISH Moves
The game contains characters seen in the first five parts of the series. Every character can be selected as one of the main party, containing a total of up to 5 characters (4 at the beginning of the match and 1 for backup).
Every character possesses a special finish animation when defeating an enemy (Most of these finish moves are based on a character's special attacks seen throughout the manga storyline, or some other notable action).
The list below contains every character in the game and their special finish move:
Jonathan Joestar (Punches similar to those unleashed in his Sunlight Yellow Overdrive special)
Characters such as Jotaro and Avdol were recolored to match their color schemes from the anime.
This is the first game to have minor characters, such as Wired Beck, Loggins, Messina, and Gray Fly playable.
After the anime's debut, the game received an upgrade, which allowed the players to use Metal Strikes based on the anime's art style; all the main heroes (except Iggy) and Shadow DIO received one.
The heroes' Stands' visuals during Finishing Moves were altered as well.
During the game's loading and installation screens, special animations such as Joseph's running away and Jotaro's walking animation from All Star Battle are featured.
Originally, if the loading screen icon was tapped, Iggy would fart in Polnareff's face. This has been updated to Josuke getting angry as he combs his hair.
When a Leader Medal evolves into a Level 3 Medal Striker, a second special ability can be used during battles. Some of these abilities briefly reproduce 3D animations seen in All Star Battle. These animations include:
Jonathan using his Scarlet Overdrive skill.
Dio Brando (Vampire) using his HHA, Space Ripper Stingy Eyes.
Joseph Joestar using his HHA, "This means war!".
Wamuu using his HHA, "Fighting Technique: Holy Sandstorm!".
