My Hero Academia: All's Justice

My Hero Academia: All's Justice delivers an expansive roster and faithful anime presentation, serving as a dedicated gift for fans. However, the experience is hampered by camera instability, inexplicable difficulty spikes, and combat imbalances, limiting its appeal primarily to series enthusiasts rather than broader fighting game audiences.

My Hero Academia: All's Justice offers fans of the anime series in particular an exciting gaming experience that impresses with its fantastic presentation. Unlike Deku & Co., however, the gameplay fails to transcend its limitations.

My Hero Academia: All’s Justice features fun gameplay and some nifty side modes, but the unbalanced battles in the Team Missions and story mode make for a bit of an uneven experience. The playable roster and additional narrative content are great, so fans of My Hero Academia may find it worth checking out for those features alone.

All's Justice delivers on the fundamentals for a great fanservice game. However, in some places it asks a bit too much from fans while failing to deliver what we'd expect by this point in the series.

If you're a die-hard fan and played the previous games, you'll definitely enjoy it. But as a video game, it might get a bit repetitive in the first few hours.

My Hero Academia: All’s Justice packs in a lot of content and lets fans play through the final arc of one of the biggest anime and manga series around. There’s plenty here to keep fans busy, unfortunately, the overall quality doesn’t always keep up. Recommended for fans but not for everyone.

Byking has delivered more than a fitting send-off to this series. In many ways, this is a complete My Hero Academia game experience. However, these strengths make it all the more painful when My Hero Academia All’s Justice fails to reach its full potential. Despite the simplicity of its mechanics and more conservative approach to storytelling, attention to detail and earnest love for its source material make My Hero Academia All’s Justice a competent if unremarkable conclusion to the series.

My Hero Academia: All’s Justice is a game that wants to be many things at once: a tribute, a farewell, a celebration, and an evolution of the franchise. It partly succeeds, especially when it lets the player enjoy its huge roster and its best fights without artificial restrictions. But its balance problems, a poorly tuned difficulty curve, and uneven execution prevent it from reaching the greatness it promises. A farewell with heart and ambition, but also with too many thorns along the way. Fans will know how to forgive them; everyone else, perhaps not so much.

My Hero Academia All's Justice delivers a more than decent video game adaptation of the manga's final arc. While not perfect, the title offers the expected dose of fun and enjoyment.

My Hero Academia: All’s Justice is a fun anime game that does a solid job of adapting the final “war” arc from both the anime and the manga. The game features some completely over-the-top battles, as is common in the genre, and the final fight almost drove me crazy. Still, fans of the franchise and this type of game will likely love it, even though this is very much a title that truly appeals only to those who are already fans of the series.

Though there’s a bit of rockiness and jank under the hood, MY HERO ACADEMIA: All’s Justice is a rock-solid 3D anime arena fighter in a series of incredibly middling ones. There’s some real tacticality and dexterity you pick up with how much you’re cycling characters in and out, countering attacks and building up towards constant finishers. No one fight feels the same; I’ve done battles in and out of the Story Mode or exhibition mode that saw me dominate the competition or pull back a victory by the skin of my teeth after being knocked about for a good while. It’s not without its technical issues and padding in the campaign, but plenty of meaningful additions and lessons brought forward from prior entries make it a fitting enough send-off that stands out well in the crowd. Not quite a Detroit Smash hit, but a punchy good time, regardless.

While taking several steps forward compared to its predecessor, My Hero Academia: All’s Justice is not without its flaws. The Story Mode follows the anime and manga very faithfully, but grinds to a halt during an excessively long and lackluster final boss fight. Other modes increase the game's longevity and variety, offering some hints of an RPG-like structure, though they fail to make the side activities truly engaging. The combat system works well thanks to an extensive roster and diverse playstyles tied to the characters' Quirks, but it still suffers from legacy issues such as imprecise collision detection and a frequently problematic camera. For a fan of My Hero Academia, this is undoubtedly one of the most complete and well-crafted titles based on the franchise (though it must be admitted that the bar was set quite low), yet it remains far from the best arena fighters currently available on the market.

My Hero Academia: All’s Justice is an ambitious and visually appealing game that ultimately falls short due to its failure to prioritize quality over quantity. For the most devoted fans of the series, there may be enough celebratory moments to justify the experience. However, for those seeking a mechanically solid and satisfying arena fighter, its shortcomings are too significant.

With its sense of flash and dazzle, All’s Justice frequently inspires euphoria as you flit from one battle to the next. The action is breathtaking, to the point where it often paves over the game’s lesser elements.

Slightly above average – that's ultimately what My Hero Academia: All's Justice deserves in our opinion. We did have a good time playing it, being fans of the anime, and the game does it justice, even if it's not perfect. It's a far cry from the disaster that was Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash. But to recapture the brilliance and popularity of the Ninja Storm series, they'll need to deliver something much better in the future.

I desperately wanted to love My Hero Academia: All’s Justice. It looks, sounds, and plays better than One’s Justice, while having tons of details that fans of the series are going to love. And in Free Battle, where there's no ridiculous difficulty spikes, they probably will. It’s just a shame that loving All’s Justice outside of that mode too often feels like getting hit with a Delaware Smash, leaving it as a decent and incredibly frustrating game that should have been great. Hopefully it will be with some sorely-needed balance patches.

I really appreciate what Byking has done for My Hero Academia over the years. The previous games, especially My Hero One’s Justice 2, showed what a good arena fighter could be, and My Hero Academia: All’s Justice carries on that legacy. With a reinvented gameplay and strong moments in the story mode, the game stands out, but is weighed down by the excess of its other modes and doesn’t quite reach Plus Ultra status.
