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.”

“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 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.”

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.”

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.

“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.”

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.”

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.

“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.”
