Here’s an overview of the game, via Shueisha Games:

Survive, Exorcise, Change the game

Step into the roles of characters from JUJUTSU KAISEN and compete against countless Cursed Spirits and rivals in this survivors royale. Battle Cursed Spirits, grow stronger through combat, outlast your rivals and be the last one standing victorious.

Supports up to 8 players online. Single player mode included

Earn Points and Overwhelm Your Rivals!

Cut through waves of cursed spirits, rack up points, and keep pace with your rivals as the match grows more intense. Your attacks trigger automatically, so the focus is on movement, positioning, and choosing the right moment to strike back with rule-changing effects.

At 100 points, activate a “Rule Addition” to disrupt your opponents, steal momentum, and climb the rankings.

In the end, the top 2 players face off in a 1v1 duel, where only one will emerge victorious.

A roster of 20+ characters from JUJUTSU KAISEN!

Play as 20+ characters from the world of JUJUTSU KAISEN, each with their own skills and playstyle.

Unlock new fighters by meeting specific conditions, experiment with different strengths, and find the character that fits your approach.

Powerful BOSSES can also appear mid-battle, turning the match into an even more chaotic clash of Jujutsu Sorcerers, Curse Users, and Cursed Spirits.

Overwhelm Your Rivals with Unique Special Moves

Fill your gauge through battle, then unleash a powerful special move at the perfect moment.
Activate techniques iconic to JUJUTSU KAISEN — from Domain Expansion to Black Flash and beyond. These powerful moves can turn the tide of a match in an instant. Most special moves can also affect nearby rivals — and while a special move is active, any player caught in range can be directly targeted for attacks. Wait for your perfect window and unleash everything upon your foes.

Every Choice is Yours. Skills That Change with Every Run.

Collect EXP from defeated cursed spirits and level up throughout the match.

Each level gives you new skill options to shape your build on the fly: strengthen what you already have, add new abilities, and discover powerful synergies that can carry you to victory.

In our soulslike, you must adapt yourself and your weapons to face untold horrors, untangle the unfathomable secrets of the city’s elites and choose whether to confront predicaments with the truth or weave lies to overcome them on the journey to find yourself.
