Jujutsu Kaisen is an anime that peaked at heights some franchises can only dream of in 2023, and it only made sense for Cursed Clash to carry that momentum forward in 2024, but sadly, that won’t be the case. Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash is the worst way you can experience the manga’s incredible story, and the sad part is that it could have been great.
Anime fighting games have historically been hit or miss with the highest of highs and the absolute lowest of lows, so you’ll be happy to hear that Cursed Clash lands somewhere in the middle. It has some interesting ideas, a solid combat foundation, and complete access to the Jujutsu Kaisen universe, but lacks the effort to become something great, and you’ll notice that right from the jump.
