That said, fans hoping for new scenarios won’t find much here beyond a few “What If?” chapters that are brief and uneventful.Īs previously mentioned, gameplay is based around full 3D movement, as the player and opponent face off in medium-sized backdrops based on famous locations from the anime. It also helps that the Story Mode bounces around multiple characters for their own individual missions, including a mode that focuses on the villains. The first chapter focuses on Deku, the main protagonist and determined hero-in-training, who undergoes an intense training session with Gran Torino, the very same teacher who helped shape All Might into the world’s greatest hero.Īs is typical with most games that recap an anime story, expect dozens of characters being name-dropped at once without much primer, although this game does do a decent job giving unfamiliar players the basics on the main setting and the motivations for each character. The Story Mode consists of recapping most of the anime storyline that has been adapted so far, and even opens with a major spoiler recently featured in the third season, so a word of warning to anyone who is behind.
Or three-on-three, in this case, as the game is structured around the more popular (in Japan at least) 3D arena-style fighting game genre, rather than the more traditional 2D structure. Sure enough, One’s Justice takes the heroes and villains of the series and puts them on a one-on-one fighting game backdrop. My Hero One’s Justice (a baffling renaming of the official title) isn’t the first official videogame based on the series (that honor goes to the Japan exclusive 3DS game featuring the second most common genre for anime adaptations: card battling), but it is the first game to hit consoles as well as PC. Naturally, this meant that a videogame adaptation was inevitable, and a fighting game at that. A strongly crafted story with likeable characters and an overall positive outlook that embraces the concept of heroism rather than deconstruct it also factored in making My Hero Academia (don’t call it Boku No Hero Academia, only villains do that) one of the fastest franchises to reach mainstream popularity around the world. My Hero Academia was practically guaranteed to be an instant hit: the manga-turned-anime series combines the sensibilities of Shonen action with a specifically Western-inspired superhero aesthetic.
