  • story297 mentions

    The story in "My Hero Academia: One's Justice" is largely criticized for being a shallow retelling of the anime, primarily covering seasons 2 and 3 with minimal depth and engagement. Many players found the presentation lacking, relying heavily on comic panels instead of animated cutscenes, which detracted from the overall experience. While fans of the series may enjoy the familiar narrative, newcomers might struggle to connect with the characters and plot due to its condensed and repetitive nature.

    • “The story is great; it's just like in the anime, except some challenges can be difficult for beginners.”
    • “As I was playing through the story, it felt like I was in the anime, which was great.”
    • “The story mode is fun and goes through the storyline of the anime/manga, isn't difficult, and isn't super long either.”
    • “My biggest issue with it is the fact that the story is essentially non-existent.”
    • “It's just a bunch of panels of images of characters and text of a supposedly progressing story in the menu screen and then you go and do a fight, repeat this for a couple of hours and there you have this game's 'story'.”
    • “The story mode leaves a lot to be desired, but I guess I didn't buy this in the hopes that I'd be experiencing the entire plot of My Hero Academia again.”
  • gameplay107 mentions

    The gameplay of this game has received mixed reviews, with some players enjoying its fun and frantic fighting mechanics reminiscent of other anime fighters, while others criticize it for being shallow, repetitive, and lacking depth. Many appreciate the smooth controls and accessibility for newcomers, but some find the mechanics overly simplistic and the character roster limited. Overall, while the game can be entertaining, especially in multiplayer, it suffers from technical issues and a lack of content that detracts from the experience.

    • “The gameplay is very smooth and satisfying, and the graphics are quite beautiful.”
    • “The gameplay is fun and challenging, with nice fighting game graphics.”
    • “Amazing gameplay and it is really fun to play with friends.”
    • “This game is the same as the second one, only worse gameplay.”
    • “Game is boring; mechanics are for a 4-year-old child.”
    • “There's a lot of things that are lacking in this game, particularly the controls and the gameplay, which feels off and a bit repetitive.”
  • graphics90 mentions

    The graphics of the game have received generally positive feedback, with many players praising the vibrant art style and faithful representation of the anime aesthetic. While some noted that the visuals can be simplistic or not as impressive as initially expected, the overall consensus is that the graphics are enjoyable and well-optimized, even for lower-spec PCs. However, a few reviews pointed out technical issues and a lack of graphic settings, which detracted from the experience for some players.

    • “Amazing graphics and easy control.”
    • “The visuals are absolutely stunning at times; I spent most of my missions as Dabi just because his ability to paint the arena with his blue flames is a delight to witness.”
    • “The graphics are absolutely beautiful, the flow of the fighting is also insanely smooth and just pleasing to look at.”
    • “I expected it to be so much more, but I've played the story game, which is much like a comic book, and then the fights, which aren't by any chance awesome, seem more like outdated graphics, or revamped ones.”
    • “As unrealistic as it was for me to assume that, the game's visuals themselves aren't up to par with that trailer, which is unfortunate.”
    • “Gameplay isn't polished at all, graphics look like they should be for the PS2.”
  • music18 mentions

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some praising the soundtrack as fitting and reflective of the source material, while others find it bland and unmemorable. Several users express disappointment over the inability to mute the music fully and note the absence of favorite characters from the show. Overall, while the soundtrack has its moments, it fails to leave a lasting impression for many players.

    • “Great music.”
    • “They translated the characters to 3D perfectly, the soundtrack is amazing, and while the roster isn't too large, they picked the right characters for the most part.”
    • “I also think the visuals and music are quite good.”
    • “One of my main irks with the game is that you can't mute the music fully, and while the roster has all the top favorites from the show, my main characters Koji and Sugar Rush are nowhere in sight.”
    • “The music in the game is pretty bland.”
    • “Admittedly, I don't remember much of the game's music; I recall from my last play session that it was fairly fitting, but none of it really stuck with me when I stepped away.”
  • stability15 mentions

    The game's stability has received mixed reviews, with users reporting frequent freezes and crashes, particularly in the menus and during multiplayer sessions. While some players experienced smooth gameplay overall, others noted significant lag and technical bugs that detracted from the experience. Despite these issues, many still found the game enjoyable, though they cautioned potential buyers about its current instability.

    • “During gameplay, the game runs great and smooth with no problems so far.”
    • “The game maintains a stable performance throughout, providing a seamless experience.”
    • “I haven't encountered any major issues, and the overall stability is impressive.”
    • “The game often freezes.”
    • “I still can't give it five stars because the game still freezes in the menus quite frequently, and I often have to force close it.”
    • “Overall, I'd have to give this game a 7/10 for its amazing animations and easy-to-pick-up mechanics, though it does have a few technical bugs such as random frame drops and screen freezes along with multiplayer issues.”
  • humor8 mentions

    The humor in the game is generally well-received, with players enjoying quirky characters like the frog girl and finding comedic moments in gameplay, such as enemies making silly choices. However, some players note that these humorous elements can occasionally detract from the overall experience, especially when they lead to frustrating situations. Despite these issues, the game's comedic aspects, including character customization, contribute to its charm and appeal.

    • “I like the frog girl; she is funny. 🐸”
    • “I love this game; it's very funny and nice. To be honest, it's my hero academia—who the hell doesn't like this game?”
    • “It's funny they announced Endeavor towards the launch, and clearly he is broken.”
  • optimization6 mentions

    Overall, the game's optimization is generally well-received, with good graphics and solid FPS performance. However, some users have reported occasional freezes and noted that certain abilities, like Dabi's ultimate, feel unoptimized.

    • “Optimization is great.”
    • “The graphics are good, same for the FPS and optimization.”
    • “Performance-wise, I've run into a few freezes which take a little while to blow over.”
    • “Dabi's ultimate is kind of unoptimized, though.”
    • “Performance-wise, I've run into a few freezes that take a little while to blow over.”
    • “The overall performance and accessibility could use significant improvement.”
  • grinding5 mentions

    The grinding aspect of the game is polarizing; while some players find it enjoyable and manageable, others feel it can be tedious, especially with repetitive tasks and lengthy story segments. However, the game offers a balance by allowing players to earn coins easily through victories, providing options to either grind or purchase items directly. Overall, the experience of grinding varies significantly based on personal preference.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “Requiring the player to watch literally every story slide between actual gameplay was really tedious since, as mentioned previously, I've already seen the anime.”
    • “There's a lot of grinding and spamming buttons, but it's all fun to do.”
  • monetization4 mentions

    The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized as a blatant cash grab, particularly regarding its DLC, which many feel exploits the anime's popularity without offering substantial value. However, players noted the absence of microtransactions, which is a positive aspect in an otherwise disappointing monetization approach.

    • “The game has no microtransactions, which is a refreshing change in today's gaming landscape.”
    • “I appreciate that there are no pay-to-win mechanics; everything can be earned through gameplay.”
    • “The absence of monetization pressure allows me to fully enjoy the game without distractions.”
    • “The DLC is a total cash grab.”
    • “It feels like a cash grab on the anime's name.”
    • “All of the blame for this rests solely on the devs and Bandai for not even trying to save this cash grab of a game.”
  • replayability3 mentions

    The game offers a diverse roster of popular characters with unique fighting styles, enhancing its replayability through varied gameplay experiences. However, the story mode's reliance on prior knowledge of My Hero Academia and the lack of engaging offline AI modes limit its overall replay value. Additionally, the absence of English voice options may deter some players from revisiting the game.

    • “A lot of the most popular characters are playable, some of them with very different fighting styles (e.g. Kaminari is really hard to fight with a close-range character like the speedy Iida Tenya due to Kaminari's ability to set up stun traps and whatnot).”
    • “Story, campaign presentation, and localization contribute to the replay value and longevity of the game.”
    • “The game lacks significant replay value, as once you've completed the story, there's little incentive to return.”
    • “While the characters are diverse, the overall gameplay experience doesn't change much upon replaying.”
    • “After finishing the campaign, I found myself not wanting to play again due to the repetitive nature of the missions.”
  • character development2 mentions

    While the character designs are praised for their visual appeal, the overall character development is considered very poor, indicating a lack of depth and growth in the characters throughout the game.

    • “Very poor character development.”
    • “The characters feel one-dimensional and lack depth.”
    • “There is little to no growth or change in the characters throughout the game.”
  • atmosphere1 mentions

    The game's visuals create an engaging atmosphere, enhancing the enjoyment of utilizing a diverse range of abilities.

    • “The game's visuals and atmosphere are a blast, making it great fun to wield the expansive variety of abilities.”
