If you haven’t noticed, 2022 has far and away become the year of media conglomerates capitalizing on ownership of disparate properties. You can see it clearly in the realm of video games like MultiVersus<\/em><\/span> and the final boss of wacky crossovers, Fortnite<\/em><\/span>. Not to be left out, popular manga publisher Shonen Jump has plunged into the video game pool as well with a crossover game of its own. <\/p>\n

Captain Velvet Meteor: The Jump+ Dimensions<\/em> is a 2D isometric tactical video game developed by Momo-Pi, the folks behind the turn-based puzzle game Persephone<\/em><\/span>. You play as Damien, a meek kid struggling with his family’s recent move from France to Japan. Unfortunately, Damien does n’t have the opportunity to air out his grievances with his parents because they left him home alone with a list of chores. Luckily for Damien, he’s got a vivid imagination to help him go along faster and combat his niggling anxieties about loneliness. Whenever Damien gets overwhelmed, like dealing with small talk with a noisy neighbor or calming down his nervous dog, he recontextualizes the scenarios as if he were in a manga. Through this lens, he transforms into the manga’s fearless protagonist, Captain Velvet Meteor.<\/p>\n
