The story mode of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players noting that it primarily retells the anime's plot using static images and lacks engaging cutscenes, making it feel more like a recap than a standalone narrative. While some fans appreciate the inclusion of both hero and villain storylines, others criticize the execution as bland and repetitive, often feeling disconnected from the source material. Overall, the story is seen as a secondary aspect of the game, with many players suggesting that it is better to experience the original anime for a richer narrative.

- “I genuinely enjoyed getting to experience the story again while actually fighting characters.”
- “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 season 3.5 to 4.5.”
