    The story mode of "Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash" has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many players describing it as a lackluster slideshow of screenshots from the anime rather than a fully developed narrative. Critics note the minimal use of animated cutscenes, repetitive gameplay, and a failure to engage players, leading to a perception that the story mode is an afterthought. While some fans appreciate the connection to the source material, the overall consensus is that the story mode does not justify the game's price and is best skipped in favor of multiplayer modes.

    • “One of the standout features of the game is its deep and immersive story mode.”
    • “Players have the opportunity to delve deeper into the lore of Jujutsu Kaisen, following an original storyline that expands on the events of the anime and manga.”
    • “The story mode is filled with exciting battles, character development, and unexpected twists that keep players hooked from start to finish.”
    • “The story mode is a mess of rarely shown animated cut-scenes that admittedly don't look terrible mixed with the laughable PNG retelling of the JJK story up until the 0 movie.”
    • “The so-called 'story mode' of JJK Cursed Clash felt more like a poorly executed PowerPoint presentation than an engaging narrative.”
    • “The worst part about this game is the story; the problem isn't the fact they just retold the first season of JJK and the movie, it's the fact they put literally no effort into it.”

Many fans find enjoyment in mastering the game's mechanics and character abilities, but the overall experience is marred by performance problems, a lackluster story mode, and a steep price point that some feel does not justify the content offered.

    • “The gameplay isn't fun and feels clunky, story mode is a slideshow followed by 30 seconds of fighting an AI.”

    • “This game is a soulless cash grab trying to capitalize on the series' success.”

Overall, the humor seems to stem from a combination of the game's shortcomings and the lighthearted nature of its characters, making it enjoyable for those who can embrace its imperfections.

    • “Seeing your teammate screech 'I'm going 120%' before landing their ultimate is pretty epic, funny, and cool.”

    • “Figuring out what everything does and how to play is a real adventure, and I found myself laughing a lot at my mistakes.”

    • “It's not just background music; it's a symphony that enhances the emotional impact of every victory and defeat.”
    • “The whole story mode is a PowerPoint of the anime/manga, and the music used gets so repetitive.”
    • “Not to mention, the static battle menu where you have to manually pick out each character and how strong they are in the most boring way possible and only six music tracks being available, none of which coming from the show, and every character having the same victory theme just really puts the nail in the coffin for this game.”
    • “At times it has latency and makes fights incredibly choppy and slow, the graphics don't look as great as I feel they should, and the music is a bit lackluster for fights.”

Overall, the grinding mechanics detract significantly from the game's appeal.

    • “For the story mode, I just kept having to do tedious missions again and again with the only difference being having to use different characters and fight different enemies. None of the missions had different objectives, just play ____ and defeat ____, making it very repetitive and boring, eventually feeling more like having to do homework rather than having fun killing the enemies.”
    • “I've played for just about 150 hours, and the offline game gets repetitive when you reach the highest skill level, because you're basically just grinding to level characters so you can have more diverse gameplay. Getting a character to max takes a lot of rounds.”
