My Hero: All’s Justice is Fun for All
December of last year marked the end of the My Hero Academia anime, but does that mean the franchise is over? Of course not! Just earlier this month Bandai Namco Entertainment finally released My Hero: All’s Justice, the third and possibly final entry to the My Hero Academia fighting game series.
After playing for a few hours, if I had to describe this game in one word, I think I would choose fun. There is a lot of content to be experienced here, and with such a large roster of characters, I could easily find myself playing for longer if not for my homework assignments. The fights are consistently a good time, and the gameplay itself is a lot more polished than it was in the previous game.
In addition, there are surprisingly quite a few different ways to enjoy the game. While of course the game has standard online and local matches, there are also options for players just wanting a story in the form of a standard story mode and also a special team-up mission mode.
This being said, there are also a few downgrades in strange areas. For example, they removed pretty much all of the “cinematic” moments in fights. In the previous game, each character would have a handful of unique interactions depending on which character they were set to fight. For some reason, these are completely gone. Another big downgrade is locking certain costumes behind paid downloadable content. While there is still customization available in the base game, it feels strange to pay money for costumes after already spending $60 on the base game.
Overall, My Hero: All’s Justice is a solid game with a few flaws that can make for a pretty fun afternoon—8/10.
