Step aside, Batman and Superman. My Hero: One's Justice 2 is here, and it's like a high school reunion where everyone showed up in their PJs. Based on the popular manga and anime series My Hero Academia, this fighting game aims to pump up your inner hero. Let's dive into this colorful, chaotic world packed with power-ups, thrilling fights, and just a sprinkle of high school drama.
In One's Justice 2, players can select from a broad roster of characters from the series, each equipped with their quirky abilities and ridiculously cool costumes. The gameplay is fast-paced, with battles happening in three-dimensional arenas where anything can go - and probably will! You can expect to unleash fancy combos and devastating quirks that'll leave your opponents dazed, confused, and possibly crying for their mom. With its team-based fights, tagging your buddies to assist in combat is essential, and boy, does it make you feel like a true hero! However, be prepared for a steep learning curve if you're new to the series, as the game's mechanics seem to have been designed by a committee of raccoons on caffeine. There's a story mode too, but it feels a bit like watching your favorite anime on fast forward. If you haven't seen the previous season, you might be lost, like a child in a grocery store without a parent. Between the epic battles, wild powers, and those flashy cutscenes, you'll find both exhilaration and confusion.
When it comes to visuals, My Hero: One's Justice 2 has its moments. Characters are colorful and animated beautifully to emulate the anime art style. However, it doesn't quite reach the levels of polish you might expect from a PS4 game. Sometimes it seems like watching a friend play a slightly outdated fighting game on a Saturday morning cartoon. The arenas, while diverse, can occasionally look uninspired - kind of like a student's last-minute art project where they just used whatever colors came in the box. There are increased details over the first game, yet it's not enough to set your heart racing. However, any imperfections are often overshadowed by the delightful character design and special effects that bring the quirky world of My Hero Academia to life.
My Hero: One's Justice 2 is the type of game that will appeal to die-hard fans of the series. If you adore the characters and can endure a little chaos, this game is worth a look. But if you're just looking for a robust fighting game experience sans the anime connection, you might want to consider better options. With a score of 6.8 out of 10, it's clear that while this game has the potential to make you feel like a hero, it's a little messy and relies heavily on the series' lore. If you want to unlock your inner Bakugo or Deku, go ahead and give this title a try. Just brace yourself for some confusing moments and a few too many over-the-top power clashes!
