Our take on Jitsu Squad
The defining structure is its tag-team combat: players can switch among squad members during a quest, while a group of up to four can divide control across the roster. That character-swapping format sits at the center of both solo and cooperative play.
What is Jitsu Squad?
Jitsu Squad is a fast-paced, cartoony beat ’em up for up to four players.
Tag Team Mode lets players switch between playable characters, either controlling the full squad alone or dividing two characters each with a friend. Combat includes chain combos, infinite juggles, parries, counters, special moves, and character-specific secondary weapons. Collecting soul orbs activates Ultimate Armor for a short period, making the character invincible while strengthening attacks and special moves. Players can also level up characters through an upgrade system, use crossover assist characters, and enter Fury Mode. The game uses a run-or-dash movement style with no walking, and includes varied enemies and stages.
