MY HERO ACADEMIA ALL'S JUSTICE - REVIEW - 7/10 (THANKS BANDAI FOR THE GAME)
The legendary journey of Deku and Class 1-A has finally come to an end in the anime, and to celebrate, Bandai Namco just dropped My Hero Academia: All's Justice. After waiting six long years since the last game, I've been grinding the review copy they sent over.
Here is everything you need to know before you buy! 💥
🎮 The Good: Plus Ultra Combat & Graphics
If you loved the One's Justice games, you'll feel right at home. The 1v1 and 3v3 arena combat is simple, accessible, and highly polished. Since this game is purely built for current-gen consoles, the graphics are easily the best in the trilogy. The particle effects, explosions, and character models look absolutely stunning!
They also added a fun hub-world feature where you can use quirks to explore Musutafu City (swinging around with Deku's Blackwhip is super satisfying). For hardcore fans, the "Character Memory" mode offers awesome original side-stories for the supporting cast written by the manga team!
📉 The Bad: Clunky Camera & No Newcomer Love
While the 1v1 combat is great, the game occasionally throws you into multi-enemy "beat 'em up" style horde battles that feel incredibly clunky. Worse yet, the dynamic camera absolutely hates the environment geometry. You'll constantly find yourself stuck behind invisible walls or having your combos ruined because the camera got lost behind a piece of rubble.
Also, a huge warning: this game gives zero context for newcomers. If you haven't watched the anime, you will be completely lost. (And as a side note for our Brazilian community: unfortunately, there are no PT-BR subtitles or dubs this time around, which is a huge bummer 🇧🇷📉).
🏆 VERDICT: 7/10 ⚡
All's Justice is the definitive MHA video game experience and a massive love letter to the fans who want to play through the epic final war arc. However, frustrating camera issues, clunky multi-enemy fights, and a complete lack of onboarding for new players keep it from being a masterpiece.
(Available on PS5, Xbox Series, and PC)
