JoJo's Bizzare Adventure: Spirit of the Soul

JoJo's Bizzare Adventure: Spirit of the Soul is a 2-D Fighting game created by Arc System Works and planned to be released in 2022 for the Playstation 4, Playstation 5, Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam. Similar to JoJo's Bizzare Adventure: Heritage for the Future, it is a traditional fighting game. The game uses a 1-on-1 system, where the players must decrease each others health bar whilst also using their special moves at their disposal and filling up their 'Heat Attack' Meter in order to unleash devastating attacks. Characters from Parts 3-8 are available, with characters from Part 1: Phantom Blood and Part 2: Battle Tendency being absent due to the 'Stand' system not being present in those parts.

Gameplay
JoJo's Bizzare Adventure: Spirit of the Soul is a 1-on-1 fighting game where each player must deplete each other's life bar before the timer runs out. It is very similar in style to Heritage for the Future, and shares many gameplay mechanics with it.

Stand Mode
Pressing the 'Stand' button will bring out your character's stand, allowing them to use it and gain access to several special moves. Without the Stand Mode active, your character will use basic and weak attacks. You can also turn your Stand on and off mid-attack to string together a unique combo.

Heat Attacks and Great Heat Attacks
Every character has a meter. It will fill under several conditions; attacking, being attacked or using special moves. Once it reaches Level 1, you can unleash a powerful Heat Attack. When it reaches Level 2, you can unleash a slightly more powerful version of your Level 1 Heat Attack. Once your meter reaches Level 3, you can unleash a unique and different attack called a Great Heat Attack, which will deal immense damage. However, keep in mind that once you use a Heat Attack or Great Heat Attack, your meter will reset back to Level 0, no matter what Level Heat Attack you just used.

Characters
There is a total of 40 playable characters, with 35 being playable from the start and 5 being purchasable after the game's release as Downloadable Content.
