    The gameplay of "My Hero Ultra Rumble" is characterized by its fast-paced, team-based mechanics that incorporate unique character abilities, providing a fun and engaging experience for fans of the anime. However, many players express frustration with the game's balance issues, particularly regarding character power disparities and the impact of gacha mechanics on accessibility. While the core gameplay loop is enjoyable, the monetization strategies and technical glitches detract from the overall experience, leading to mixed reviews.

    • “The gameplay is fun, don't get me wrong.”
    • “The gameplay is a fun take on the battle royale genre and is really engaging!”
    • “The gameplay is incredibly engaging, with a perfect balance between strategy and action.”
    • “Gameplay is awkward and clunky, and there is an understanding in the community that there are some characters who are great... except for the frequent bugs that make them significantly worse than they should be.”
    • “The actual gameplay, when it works, is mostly uninspired battle royale type gameplay.”
    • “The gameplay gets old very quickly for me, and it feels repetitive.”
  • graphics185 mentions

    The graphics of "My Hero Ultra Rumble" are generally described as vibrant and closely aligned with the anime's aesthetic, providing an immersive experience for fans. While many players appreciate the colorful visuals and smooth performance, some criticize the graphics as outdated or subpar compared to modern standards, with occasional technical issues. Overall, the visuals are seen as a strong point of the game, though opinions vary on their quality and execution.

    • “The visuals in My Hero Ultra Rumble are vibrant and capture the essence of the world perfectly.”
    • “The game's art style perfectly captures the look and feel of the My Hero Academia universe, making it a visual treat for fans.”
    • “The graphics are stunning, and the attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the game.”
    • “The graphics are very wonky, and the character design looks almost nothing like the anime.”
    • “First and foremost, the graphics are a disgrace.”
    • “I've seen better graphics in a game of Pong from the '70s.”
  • monetization182 mentions

    The monetization in this game has been widely criticized as predatory and heavily focused on cash grabs, with many players feeling that it prioritizes profit over gameplay quality. The gacha system is particularly contentious, as it locks a significant portion of characters and progression behind paywalls, leading to accusations of being pay-to-win. While some players appreciate the free-to-play model, the overwhelming presence of microtransactions and the lack of balance detract from the overall experience, making it feel like a rushed cash grab rather than a well-developed game.

    • “I don't understand why people are giving negative reviews to a free game. Yes, there are some in-app purchases, but luckily that is entirely optional to purchase, with great voice acting.”
    • “The game is 100% free right out of the gate with no ads, and they give you three types of tickets, which I'm going to call 'character tickets', 'play tickets', and 'roll tickets'.”
    • “The monetization isn't as bad as it seems; you can literally get the battle pass for free (at least for the first season). The only problem the game has now is balance issues.”
    • “It's a cash grab at its worst, with pay-to-win elements that make it impossible for free-to-play players to enjoy any semblance of competitive play.”
    • “The game's monetization system makes gambling look like a favorable investment opportunity.”
    • “You must pay money to unlock 90% of the characters in the game; this is a pay-to-win cash grab, don't bother playing it.”
  • story112 mentions

    The story in "My Hero Ultra Rumble" is widely criticized for being shallow and uninspired, often described as an afterthought that fails to engage players. Many reviewers express disappointment over the lack of depth and character development, with repetitive missions and a generic plot that detracts from the overall experience. While some players appreciate the connection to the "My Hero Academia" universe, they feel that the narrative does not enhance the gameplay or provide a compelling reason to continue playing.

    • “The music enhances the overall atmosphere, adding intensity to the battles and emotion to the story moments.”
    • “The story is filled with poignant moments of heroism, sacrifice, and redemption, making you feel deeply connected to the characters and their struggles.”
    • “It's a testament to the game's storytelling prowess that you'll find yourself emotionally invested in the fate of these heroes and villains, rooting for their triumphs and mourning their defeats.”
    • “The story mode is an insult to the My Hero Academia franchise.”
    • “The story is an afterthought, with a plot so generic and uninspired that it's forgettable within minutes.”
    • “Event missions are lackluster and regular missions are even worse.”
  • grinding103 mentions

    The grinding aspect of the game is heavily criticized, with many players noting that unlocking characters and items requires an excessive amount of time and effort, often described as "grindy" to the point of being tedious. Players express frustration over the gacha mechanics and the battle pass system, which they feel are predatory and designed to encourage microtransactions. While some enjoy the grind as part of the gameplay loop, the overwhelming sentiment is that the grind is unnecessarily long and detracts from the overall experience.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “Disappointed to find out how long it takes to unlock (114+ hours) the sexiest man alive (All Might) and this game is so grindy with their battle pass and loot boxes are also a pain. Even though the game is fun, it's just that it's too predatory and doesn't even let you own all of the characters when you first start.”
    • “Most of the good characters are locked away behind a wall of grinding for hours and hours, gambling, or just throwing real money at the game, which is just annoying overall for a game you might simply get bored of in a week or two's time and drop for months if not a year or two.”
    • “Unlocking characters is unnecessarily tedious when all I've seen is one or two characters with skills I like - and mostly the game is a queue simulator.”
  • stability87 mentions

    The game's stability is a significant concern among players, with numerous reports of bugs, glitches, and lag affecting gameplay. Many users experience frequent crashes, character movement issues, and matchmaking problems, leading to frustration. While some acknowledge the game's potential and enjoy the core mechanics, the overwhelming presence of technical issues detracts from the overall experience.

    • “This game runs great even on a low-end 2019 Dell laptop, with only minor bugs and some characters being overpowered.”
    • “Mostly bug-free from my experience, and there are no random dropped connections.”
    • “This game is a pile of buggy trash.”
    • “The game is too laggy and buggy.”
    • “Glitches, bugs, exploits, and terrible balancing are constant, the dev team regularly chooses to ignore game-breaking issues or player complaints for months.”
  • humor61 mentions

    The humor in the game is a mixed bag, with many players finding it unintentionally hilarious due to its flaws, such as matchmaking issues and over-the-top mechanics. While some enjoy the comedic elements of gameplay and character interactions, others feel that the humor is overshadowed by frustrating aspects like pay-to-win mechanics and cheating. Overall, the game is often described as "funny" and entertaining, especially when played with friends, despite its shortcomings.

    • “In a world where punches fly faster than my failed diet resolutions, My Hero Ultra Rumble delivers humor as lethal as its uppercuts.”
    • “This game is at its core, a very funny My Hero Academia brawl game, mixed with battle royale and some RPG elements here and there.”
    • “Went in expecting a funny meme game to laugh at with some friends, came out with a genuinely fun experience.”
    • “I'm addicted; it's not funny anymore.”
    • “Fix the matchmaking. When you start playing, sometimes you meet a lot of tryhard players that insta-kill you. This is not funny. We need to fight against players with similar or lesser skills so early players can practice with their favorite characters and improve their skills.”
  • optimization34 mentions

    The optimization of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players reporting significant performance issues, including crashes and poor graphics handling, particularly on lower-end systems. While some users noted that the game runs well on average PCs and has potential, others expressed frustration over the lack of necessary updates and optimizations, indicating that the game is not fully optimized for a smooth experience. Overall, while there are glimpses of good performance, the consensus is that substantial improvements are needed to enhance stability and usability.

    • “The game is surprisingly well optimized.”
    • “It is pretty optimized on an average computer; just choose the right resolution and you're good to go.”
    • “The game looks good enough for what it is and runs smoothly, no lag issues in South America.”
    • “But my worst problem is that it has such poor performance (for most people it causes problems) that it constantly crashes and makes my PC restart unexpectedly. I have tried everything from the game itself and my PC (reinstalling, updating, changing preferences) and nothing works, so I uninstalled it and I don't know if I'll try it again just because of what it can do to my PC.”
    • “The optimization in this game is hurting my eyes; pixels show everywhere, too many bright effects, and the color settings, even at low, are still too bright.”
    • “This game doesn't know what optimization is; it looks and plays like what my dog left in the yard last night.”
  • music23 mentions

    The music in the game is generally praised for enhancing the excitement and immersion during gameplay, with many users highlighting its ability to elevate the atmosphere of battles and story moments. However, some players find the limited variety and repetitiveness of the tracks, particularly during matches, to be a drawback. Overall, while the soundtrack is celebrated for its intensity and emotional impact, opinions vary on its execution and variety.

    • “The music ramps up the excitement, keeping you in the zone during each intense match.”
    • “The music enhances the overall atmosphere, adding intensity to the battles and emotion to the story moments.”
    • “The soundtrack is epic and really adds to the immersive experience.”
    • “2 maps, same music, no QoL features to make the game outside a match more entertaining.”
    • “The music is a never-ending loop of ear-piercing, off-key notes that make me want to rip my headphones off and throw them into a woodchipper.”
    • “You do have a couple of songs from the anime, but where are the main ones?!”
  • character development18 mentions

    Character development in the game has received mixed reviews, with many praising the character designs for their authenticity and visual appeal, closely resembling their original forms. However, several users expressed disappointment over the limited depth of character development, feeling that it lacks the emotional resonance and complexity found in the source material. Overall, while the character designs are celebrated, the narrative and character growth aspects are seen as underwhelming.

    • “Character designs are true to their original forms, providing an authentic experience for fans.”
    • “The character design is exceptional, capturing the essence of each hero and villain with remarkable precision.”
    • “I think it far outperforms the average battle royale on that front, just by virtue of the hero shooter/moba-like character design and format adding a lot of texture to how fights play out.”
    • “Limited character development. I feel that the character development could be deeper.”
    • “The repetitive missions can become monotonous, and the character development could be deeper.”
    • “It's a half-hearted, uninspired rehash of the anime's plot, with none of the charm, character development, or emotional depth that makes the series so beloved.”
  • emotional14 mentions

    The emotional responses to the game are mixed, with some players expressing deep investment in the characters and story, feeling both joy and heartbreak through their experiences. However, others criticize the game's execution, describing it as frustrating and toxic, leading to feelings of disappointment and emotional distress. Overall, while the game has the potential for emotional engagement, its flaws can overshadow the positive aspects.

    • “It's so heart-breaking trying to love something you know is bad, especially when it has so much potential.”

  • replayability13 mentions

    Overall, reviews indicate a mixed perception of replayability. While some players find the game enjoyable and addictive with significant replay value, others criticize it for a lack of content updates and character variety, which diminishes the incentive to replay. Technical issues and a low skill ceiling further contribute to the sentiment that replayability is limited for some players.

    • “Enjoyable and very replayable.”
    • “Love the abilities and how the movement feels; simple yet replayable battle royale game that is very addicting and satisfying.”
    • “Despite the simple appearance, the depth of the game increases replayability and there is lots of fun to be had.”
    • “Another drawback is the lack of replayability.”
    • “Additionally, the occasional technical issues and lack of replayability are notable drawbacks.”
    • “The lack of this system lowers the skill ceiling too much and makes the game boring as you're unable to explore the characters fully, making the replayability practically nonexistent as the player will not want to stay in an online game without noticing their skill growing.”
  • atmosphere3 mentions

    The game's graphics and music contribute to a highly immersive atmosphere, intensifying battles and emotional story moments. However, this immersive experience can also foster a competitive and hostile environment among players.

    • “The game's graphics and atmosphere, however, are truly immersive.”
    • “The music enhances the overall atmosphere, adding intensity to the battles and emotion to the story moments.”
    • “This makes everyone hungry for kills (including me), and it creates an atmosphere of hate among teammates.”
