MY HERO ACADEMIA: All’s Justice steps onto the scene with a big promise: to be the definitive game for fans of the popular anime and manga. And for the most part, it delivers. This latest entry in the franchise, which you can learn more about on its MY HERO ACADEMIA: All’s Justice page, brings a host of changes and improvements that make it a compelling experience, particularly if you're invested in the world of heroes and villains.
Gameplay
Here's the thing about All's Justice: it moves away from the 1v1 focus of previous One's Justice titles. You're now diving into 3v3 tag-team battles, which completely changes the dynamic. While the core commands are simple across the board, what most players miss is how the new character-switching mechanic allows for deeper combo extensions. It's not about dash canceling anymore; it’s about strategically swapping characters to keep the pressure on. The new rising mechanic is also a pro tip, offering an enhanced state that can truly turn the tide of a fight with unique actions.
Engage in dynamic 3v3 tag-team combat
The roster is impressive, boasting over fifty characters, with more on the way via DLC. While some characters are different versions of existing ones, the sheer variety is a huge plus. The game limits how often you can swap characters, preventing spamming and encouraging more thoughtful play. Each fighter's quirk feels distinct; All Might excels up close, while Froppy can attack from a distance. The key here is learning how to blend your team's abilities for maximum impact. However, some players will find the combat can get repetitive without deeper mechanics, and the removal of cinematic Plus Ultra finishers is a bit of a disappointment for those who enjoyed the spectacle in previous games.
Beyond the core fighting, there's an open-world hub to explore. While it won't rival an Insomniac Spider-Man game, it's a neat addition for fan service, offering team-up missions and character moments. You'll want to explore this to see some of the smaller, more charming interactions.
Graphics & Audio
Graphically, All's Justice is a significant step up from the One's Justice series. The character models are sharp, and the special Plus Ultra attacks are more gorgeous than ever, truly capturing the essence of the anime's intense moments. The cinematics are high quality, making the story mode feel like a true conclusion to the series. The sound design is generally solid, though some minor vocal line quirks have been noted. Overall, the presentation contributes significantly to the epic feel of the game.
Story/Narrative
For fans of the series, the story mode is a major highlight. It faithfully adapts the final war arc, concluding the Deku vs. All for One/Shigaraki saga with massive events and all the emotional power you'd expect from the anime's latest season. It feels like a true conclusion and provides a narrative backbone that many arena fighters lack. This dedication to the source material makes it arguably the most complete project dedicated to the franchise yet.

Verdict
MY HERO ACADEMIA: All’s Justice is a game built for the fans, and it largely succeeds in delivering a satisfying experience. While it has some areas that could be improved, such as the limited customization options and the somewhat underwhelming open-world hub, its strengths far outweigh its weaknesses. The 3v3 combat is engaging, the roster is expansive, and the story mode is a fantastic adaptation of the anime's most recent events. If you're a fan of My Hero Academia or just enjoy arena fighters, this game offers plenty of fast-paced action and fan service. It's a worthy addition to the genre and a strong contender for the best My Hero Academia game to date. For more expert opinions and critical evaluations, be sure to browse our game reviews section.
