    My Hero One’s Justice 2 proudly belongs to the category of sequels that do things better and push the series forward. With more content available compared to the original game, lots of characters, great visuals and an overall anime feel, My Hero One’s Justice 2 is a fun fighter that does things right for the most part.

    My Hero One’s Justice 2 is, expectedly, a slightly better, more story-relevant take on 2018’s surprise hit. The additions aren’t enough to sway those who were unsure of the original, yet appreciated enough for those that did play the proceeding game. No doubt the extended roster is the breakout addition, sure, but outside of those already invested in the My Hero Academia-verse, there’s little to be excited about, bar a damn good, albeit wholly casual, stylish anime fighter. And, seriously, who can argue with that?

    My Hero One's Justice 2 is pretty much what you'd expect —a rather clunky and unimaginative sequel that comfortably relies on the strengths of its predecessor. However I must admit it's still a fun and explosive game set in one of the best story arcs of the anime that will most certainly please those looking to simply take control of its many fun characters.

    What My Hero One’s Justice 2 does right in this context is creating a gloriously epic display of combat on-screen – invigorating gameplay with the same clamour and panache the anime series is known for. Fights erupt with the same sense of danger and intensity when on the small-screen, with individual characters hosting a bevy of unique animations to lay a good smack-down on their opponents.

    My Hero One’s Justice 2 is a far cry from the esports-ready fighter you may have wanted. It skirts along the line between woefully undercooked and passable. But for fans of the series, you’d be hard-pressed to find something even half as faithful.

    I was someone that fell in love with the first game, and coming into the second I can tell you that over all the changes were mostly positive.I was someone that fell in love with the first game, and coming into the second I can tell you that over all the changes were mostly positive.

    Castwise, the game was changed heavily to favour a rushdown meta with highly aggressive gameplay. Learning to master skills like guard cancelling and using your supports only on combos that are overextending what you can take are the key to becoming a master of this game.

    Both on this and others, most of the negative reviews on this game are complaints about the publisher (Bandai Namco) or whining about their main getting nerfed because they had things that were too broken for the new combo system, so please be wary of that.

    The fact of the matter is the game is new, as with any fighting game it still has to be discovered the whole way through. They made lots of changes to the system to make it run more smoothly and tying dash cancelling to meter was a positive change with how much damage characters can do using them if they're smart. A good Shigaraki player could do 75% of your health without any meter cost otherwise.

    This game is a solid experience if you want an arena fighter with more depth, if the NUNS games left you like they did me where you felt it was just too much mashing circle. This game is fun, well put together, and an overall improvement from the original.

    I look forward to seeing what BYKING does from here, and what the game will bring us with the DLC.    … Full Review »

    Spielt sich genau so wie der erste Teil.

    Die Story ist gut, die vom ersten Teil ist aber besser aufgebaut, es gab da noch eine kleinen    Spielt sich genau so wie der erste Teil.

    Die Story ist gut, die vom ersten Teil ist aber besser aufgebaut, es gab da noch eine kleinen dritten Überraschungs-Arc, der mir sehr gefallen hat, vor allem wie er zeitlich zwischen dem 3. und 1. Arc eingebaut wurde. Warum zwischen Haupt- und Nebenmissionen umschalten? Hatte am Ende zwei übersehen gehabt... einfach eine nächste Sprechblase zu haben fand ich besser und ich glaube es wiederholt sich ein wenig.

    Die Missionen fand ich richtig blöd gemacht, auch etwas unklar was genau mit den Bezeichnungen gemeint ist, wahrscheinlich keine sinngemäße Übersetzung...generell fand ich den Aufbau der Missionen im ersten Teil sehr viel besser.

    Der Arcade Modus ist echt cool, man kann mit allen Charakteren drei Routen á 5 Kämpfen spielen und sie haben dann jeweils einen Satz den sie ihrem Gegner nach dem Kampf sagen. Die Gegner sind festgelegt und zwar auf welche, mit denen der jeweils gespielte Charakter noch keine Begegnung im Anime hatte, zumindest zum Zeitpunkt des Releases.

    Es gab diesmal echt viele und sehr viel neue spielbare Charaktere, daher hab ich die meiste Zeit im Freien Modus verbracht und von jedem mal alle Moves ausprobiert, die sind alle sehr ansehnlich.

    Insgesamt fand ich hier sonst die Story am besten, auch wenn ich sie vom Anime schon kenne, habe ich sie mir mit einer Mischung aus gucken und kämpfen gerne nochmal reingezogen!    … Full Review »

I'm not qualified to review the multiplayer as I didn't get into it.

    Controls are OK, special moves aren't hard to execute and many things allow you to home in on your opponent. Sometimes it feels like rushing them down is too easy because of that but it's not a major issue. There are various ways to run, jump, block, parry, and so on so expect some learning curve. There are combos, and I mean that in addition to the autocombo stuff. I 100% do not think this is a shallow game, It's just not very hard to execute. It's not very fast either so it will rely on mix ups, match ups, and strategy.

    The game has assists (no tag switching like you might expect but that's for the best), supers, etc which I didn't find that interesting. Single player has various modes all of which are fun for a time. Sounds, voice, music etc. seemed , good like you would expect. I found the graphics to be terrible, we have much better anime shaders and effects out there. But whatever, solid 6/10, ciao gamers.    … Full Review »
