My Hero Academia is quite of an alright anime, in my old-man view. It’s a shonen series about rivalries, mentors, and the battle between good and evil that perhaps would stand the test of time when people rewatch them back decades later.
All’s Justice feels like that said video game from decades before this series even started, and I kinda dig it. It’s the game that your friends would have and we would play it in couch co-op back then, and that’s not a bad thing really. Because it’s quite a fun romp to play with.
Presentation
The entire presentation, from the story beats to the cast of characters that you, as Deku, gets to meet along the way is very much in-line with how an episode is usually run in the show. Like the story would tangent to the other cast, like Uraraka or Bakugo, has their own arcs and villains to fight against, before it pivots back to the main storyline with Deku once more, who also has his own stuff to and experience with.
Think of it as a long OVA that doesn’t really have a stake in the main storyline, granted this is set during one of the final few arcs of the show, so newcomers might be a bit lost at times too.
The main voice cast are back to voice their characters (perhaps even for the final time), with the likes of Yuki Kaji (as Todoroki) and even Aoi Yuki (also as Tsyuru) voicing themselves for not only the battle dialogue, and even unlockable announcers that will cheer or boo you on during the 3v3 battling. Though it does sometimes drown out the battles with how frequent their shoutcasting happens during the hype moments, which could be distracting if you want to land the finishing blow combo.
Performance-wise, it’s a solid 60fps on the PlayStation 5, as one would expect with how frantic a typical arena fighter would be, so clear and consistent frames are a must when the battling gets intense, with chunks flying everywhere and the screen turns into a blur of colors and such, being solid sometimes works wonder for this sort of gaming.
Gameplay![]()
The battle system for this rendition of My Hero Academia is a more polish 3D Arena Fighter than most you find on the market right now, it’s smooth movements as you switch from one fighting style to another, as the camera is panning as fast as it can to catch up with the frantic action of the fight, the villains countering your moves at times and your heroes trying all their might to finish the fight. All fighting together as you can switch from one hero to another, ala Naruto Revolution (an older Bamco joint from a previous generation) 
There are boss battles where you get to play as the main cast, including the older heroes like All Might and Mount Lady and it’s quite a treat for long-time fans of the show, who perhaps weren’t too keen on their first two installments that the series had released. It does get pretty hard along the way, which is expected for a fighting game story mode. Perhaps a bit on the more difficult side as the final chapter rolls along but it is expected .
The side objective stuff is quite fun for myself, as you get to do street level heroic duties as any of the heroes, while if you want to just hang out with your fellow classmates (or meeting Himiko Toga in a neutral location), there’s a cafe where you get to chat with your friends, setting in lore for those wanting to see how your boy/girl is doing before another chapter in the story kick in. 
My complaint is that the hub world doesn’t feel as lively as it’s peers in terms of repeatability of the hub world, like in Street Fighters 6. There’s a shop where you could change the outfits of your Heroes and also change the menu colors, plus changing the Shoutcast announcer from any one of the villains or even Deku’s classmates, plus the Bus Stand where most of the side-content is played and that’s it. Not a long of stuff to do but it works as a break spot before continuing on the story, or playing multiplayer.
Conten![]()
All’s Justice is perhaps quite of a love-letter towards the series, with it being quite fan-servicey game that’s brings together the class for one last big battle before the end of this arc, where the favourites get to interact with one another and have fun in a sort of reminiscing sort of way that’s caters to the fans wholeheartedly.
As a game, expect a pretty good amount of stuff to do with the fighting and side-questing, with the hours ticking around the average of 16 hours, give or take. This doesn’t count the multiplayer that you can play with friends, and who doesn’t love some Arena fighting with your favourite boys/ girls?
Personal Enjoyment![]()
As somewhat of a connoisseur of these sort of anime tie-in games that either expanders the story or being as fan-service as possible, I feel the folks Byking Inc. nails what’s needed for their game to be enjoyed by newcomers and fans alike, which is quite of an upgrade when compared to their previous installment,and the less said about their Jujutsu Kaisen game, the better.
Would I have enjoyed it more if I were a huge fan of the series and not surface level? Probably, but I see Uraraka, Tooru and even Togo as characters you play as and meet up, and that’s already gotten my engagement for it quite well. It won’t really set the world on fire with how it plays and looks, but then again, I wouldn’t expect much from a 3D Arena Fighter for a big IP, it will have it’s flaws and that’s fine.
Verdict
MY HERO ACADEMIA: All’s Justice is quite a send-off for the series that’s all about being the best hero you could be. It might not set the world on fire in terms of gameplay, but being an Arena Fighter in the year 2026 is sometimes the only thing it needs to be and that’s alright for me and even some fans of this genre.
Would I personally get it at it’s current price? Not really, I’d wait for a discount before hopping into this one but hey, it’s quite a bang for your virtual bucks, regardless.
