Gameplay

Fights pair normal combo strings with signature Quirk specials and powerful Deathblow finishers. A Hero Gauge builds from dealing and taking damage, unlocking a Super attack at one bar or a full Plus Ultra attack at three. Players also fill a touchscreen driven Quirk Control gauge for character specific bonuses and call in two chosen Sidekick fighters mid match to block an incoming hit or freeze an opponent in place.

Premise

Hero Academia mode retells the anime from Izuku's U.A. entrance exam through the U.S.J. villain attack, seen through protagonist Izuku Midoriya. Clearing it unlocks Hero Challenge, an arcade style run of consecutive fights, and lets players replay the same story beats controlling other members of Class 1-A.

Reception

Famitsu gives the game a 31 out of 40. Anime News Network's Todd Ciolek finds the combat simplistic, comparing it to the era's routine Dragon Ball Z fighters. The game releases only in Japan and moves a modest 5,607 copies in its first three days, trailing Bandai Namco's bigger anime fighters.
