My Hero One's Justice

With engaging gameplay, this fun anime brawler manages to answer the eternal kid question of wanting to grow up with some sort of cool superpower. In My Hero One's Justice, kids are trained to become the next generation of superheroes. The gameplay pits heroes and villains against one another in fast-paced and frantic combat that looks like its pulled straight from the anime. Although on the surface, the controls seem a lot more basic than most fighters, once you get the hang of things, like timing and positioning, it quickly becomes clear that this brawler has plenty of "Quirks" all its own. There's just something oddly fun about knocking a foe into the sky or into a wall before continuing the battle on the side of the building. Sure, it can be a little disorienting to keep track of all the action, but it genuinely feels like what a comic book fight would be like.

My Hero One's Justice is packed with content tailor-made for fans of the series. The main story mode provides a solid recap of Izuku Midoriya's quest to become the world's greatest hero, but it's even more interesting to see how those same events played out through the palm-covered eyes of League of Villains leader Tomura Shigaraki. It makes for a unique twist on a familiar tale and shows how perspective can cause someone to rewrite their own story. Speaking of writing your own story, the customization options give fans a chance to tweak their favorite My Hero Academia characters, adding a bit of a personal flair to the experience. And the Mission mode's objective-based gauntlet makes for a solid test of skills and determination. One glaring item that's missing, though, is the lack of additional voice-over options. While purists might not mind too much, it's likely to be a bit jarring for those more familiar with the characters from the English language dubs currently airing on television. Still, the story's easy to follow, and My Hero One's Justice is unquestionably faithful to its source.
