    Good solid arena fighter. Story is pretty much the stain arc through the All for One arc, nothing special too it. The gameplay actually pretty solid, some weird hit-boxes here and there but nothing too major, feels good to play in the end.

    The game for sure has it's faults, but at the core it's a fun, good-looking (the pics don't do it justice), fast paced arena fighter, with some great MHA flavor. Think along the lines of smash, powerstone, etc etc, rather than something like dbfz or bbtag.

Think along the lines of smash, powerstone, etc etc, rather than something like dbfz or bbtag.

    Are there problem areas? Damn straight. Story mode seems like an afterthought and something just sort of 'there', it's only real purpose is to unlock things, which is a huge downside if you're here for single player content. Controls are a bit simplistic for a fighter compared to other fighting games, which again, makes a lot of people unhappy, looking for something more serious.

    The good? The game is very fun. Like, very fun. Environments get destroyed, everyone has crazy super moves, etc etc. It's flashy. It's fast. The more I've been playing it, the more fun it is. And it's very easy for people to get in to, but even for people looking to take a little more seriously will find some fun combos still. Is this enough to rate this as high as I did? I thought about that for a very long time, and I settled on yes. A lot of the modes and things in the game are half-assed and not really all that great, but it's core, multiplayer fighting, is fun enough to me to tip the scales. A lot of the negative reviews rate the game low because of the single player content - and rightfully so,but for me, I was never really going to fiddle with that unless I had to, so I didn't really take much off for that.

    This will never be anything competitive. This is more of a fighter to just chill and have fun with, nothing serious, and you won't find any crazy insane tech that require ultra perfect timing, but that aside, you have something fast and fun, with MHA flavor.    … Expand

    I don't know the animé but I do know fighting games and I've been having a lot of fun with this game. This has a lot of dbz DNA and I especially love that dbz thing where alot of the combat takes place in the air. characters have a limited move set of about maybe 15 moves incl some insane ultimates. And all moves are easy just press buttons. Not much directional gymnastics needed. AllI don't know the animé but I do know fighting games and I've been having a lot of fun with this game.

Sadly the default mode is auto combo for the kids but u can switch to manual to make you own combos. In ranked online most people are using manual combos and extremely effectively. Also online is very try hard. I've played it enough now to see that there is great unbalance between many of the characters but to honest I like this as noob are playing all the op character. A simple, but fresh and most fun fighting game. especially good for local play with friends who maybe not good at fighting games as they can just button mash. It not highly technical like soul calibre more simple like dbz so quick to learn but yea lotta fun. I like it.… Expand

    This game is underrated, at least for fans of the show. The combat is tight, the characters play exactly the way you would want and expect them to, the mission modes are fun, the only critiques I have are the sub par retelling of the story and the lack of modes, but overall if you enjoy the anime, you'll enjoy this.

    Enemies scale at ridiculous rates. I punched someone for 99 seconds straight and couldn't KO them in time. There's a pointless level up system involved in their mission mode and nothing outside of it contributes to levels.
    The AI spends so much running away and hopping around half the battle is spent chasing them around. It's not that fun.
    The opponent can summon their assists at any time, even during your combos. This coupled with ridiculous AI scaling at later levels means you can get one shot while comboing the enemy AI...which is pretty stupid and a waste of time.
    The wall changes are annoying more than anything. You can get stuck in a wall instantly and fail to wall someone after 3 combos. The gravity changes at different amounts of time which can screw up your combos, jumps, movements, etc and cause the enemy to just murder you. You can't fly away either so hopefully you land somewhere afterwards.
    When comboing someone off the stage to try to ring out them, you can ring out yourself in the process. Since every character has 5-6 air jumps and flight powers for some reason, you can spend a long time air battling. The camera zooms in and you won't know if you're out of bounds when you fall back to the stage. You can only get back by jumping since dash only goes at the opponent. If you start jumping back to the stage... you still won't know if you're in bounds. Good luck
    The game is good if you like the series and play through the story for the comic sequences or just want to watch supers done by the heroes and villains but that's about it. Don't expect an actual fighting game out of this.    … Expand

    That is about it for the good points however. The controls are awkward and are missing many of the staples for fighting games. Blocking is largely ineffective, throws are awkward and all the special moves and ultimate moves are done with 1 or 2 button presses and the use of a meter that goes up while you fight. All characters are able to move around very quickly and can change directions rapidly. This combined with the fact that most moves have to hit very precisely means most matches devolve into you and your opponent running back and forth and in circles at each other, occasionally clashing with attacks and every so often summoning an ally or activating an ultimate move, which will miss and expend the usage of the ability for the rest of the fight. It basically boils down to running around as unpredictably as possible while spamming the cheapest move you have.
    Fighting against the PC is an exercise in frustration as it seems to be able to dodge even when pinned into a corner and pretty much always lands it's ultimates even if they're 25 yards away.
    Oh, and the costume customization? While most characters do have 2 or so outfits, it's largely just palette swaps and stealing bits of costume from other characters, so you can have Uraraka running around with Toga's teeth..neck..thing and Stain's mask. Woo.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a habit, I always approach anime based games with a lens of mediocrity. That way I can be pleasantly surprised when they end up being decent. One's Justice fails to impress on multiple levels.

    Story: Aside from the tutorial with Gran Torino, the story goes from Iida Vs Stain up to All Might Vs All For One with the UA Sports Tournament unlocked after beating the Villain's story. There're some What If fights as well but It's as abridged as you'd expect from a fighting game with with cutscenes played out with still images, character narration, lines that seem to come straight from the show (I mean archived audio), and the occasional in-game asset movie. This format leads to the iconic scenes from the show coming out as less than lackluster.

    Gameplay: Actually pretty great, aside from a few points. The characters generally feel unique although I've noticed a few clone moves in certain fighters. The A.I. never really seems to know if it wants to run away from you or destroy every shred of hope in your body. Some attacks seem to have priority regardless of when they're used and others don't seem to work at all. Also the arenas somehow manage to feel cramped in some cases and you don't really earn much in game currency from fights.

    Characters: 11 students,6 villains, and 3 heroes (excluding DLC) and only Kaminari and Jirou serve no real purpose. I wish I was joking.

    Customization: Despite being one of the major selling points of the game, this manages to be both too much and not enough at the same same. The accessories you collect manage to reference nearly every named character from the show but only the students have an actual second outfit. And they all come in 4 or 5 color palettes that get treated as separate costumes. You can even change what they say before, during, and after battle but unless you speak Japanese, then you really aren't getting much out of it. You can even collect all these little things to spruce up your online ID card. I guess there's some kinda bragging rights thing involved but I don't really play games online.

    Modes: Arcade, Local Match, and Online are the staples for the genre. Follow them up with Story Mode and Mission Mode to try and justify the price tag. Also, Customization so everyone can make their OCs out of their favorite characters.

    Closing Thoughts: This game was not worth the $60 price tag. I would say 30 or 40 tops. There's just too much I personally don't see the appeal of to fully enjoy this game. I also had to turn my brain off during story mode just to keep myself from verbally pointing out every inconsistency. And I'm mad they didn't put the UA track suit in the game.

    There's room for improvement but if you just want a casual fighting game about people with superpowers to play with your friends then My Hero Academia: One's Justice is for you.    … Expand

    All in all, My Hero's One Justice is a fun experience for fans, but that's about its limit. It's faithful to the source material almost to a fault, and it does a great job of including little touches and inside jokes that make it clear that a lot of love for the franchise was included in the game. As a game on its own merits, though, it is thoroughly average. The unbalanced gameplay feels appropriate for the franchise, but it can also lead to it not being very fun for head-to-head play. If you're a big fan of the My Hero Academia anime and manga, you'll get your money's worth from this game, but anyone else should wait for a price drop.

    My Hero One’s Justice is not a poor offering, just a thoroughly uneven one that only the hardest-core Manga fans will be able to immerse themselves into. I enjoyed the fast-paced, accessible fighting with an art style that looks great in action, but everything around that gameplay leaves things to be desired.
