The story mode of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players noting that it closely follows the anime's plot but lacks depth and engaging cutscenes, often relying on static images instead. While some appreciate the inclusion of both hero and villain storylines, others find the execution bland and repetitive, with filler battles that detract from the overall experience. Overall, the story is seen as a passable addition that may appeal to fans of the franchise but is not a strong selling point for the game itself.
“The story mode having the hero and the villain story is fun; it has a great twist of the arcade game mode, I love the mission mode, and the gameplay is really fast-paced and smooth.”
“The graphics are beautiful, the story is great, everything is good.”
“It's a loveable game with an amazing storyline and I would recommend it to anyone - even if you haven't watched the anime!”
“The story mode is trash, just a manga version with almost no animation, almost rushed and it has the same plot as the original story; just watch the series for that.”
“The story presented is nothing but a repeat of the anime with little to no cutscenes and is a total bore if you've already gone through the story.”
“Story mode is worthless; pitched battles against bots as dumb as bricks in a meager imitation of Hero Academia's story from seasons 3.5 to 4.5.”
