My Hero Academia – Battle for All

My Hero Academia – Battle for All also known as Boku no Hero Academia – Battle for All is a Fighting game developed by Dimps Corporation for the Nintendo 3DS. It was released exclusively in Japan on May 19, 2016. Based on Weekly Shonen Jump’s popular serial work “My Hero Academia”! Experience the action that makes use of the character’s special ability “Quirk” on the 3DS! The game features a novel battle system with fights controlled using the special ability “Quirk”. You can also strengthen your hero to your liking and fight with your friends in online battles!

Battle for All is a 3D fighting game where two characters battle using normal attack combos in addition to special attacks (called “Deathblows”). Dealing or receiving damage fills a player’s “Hero Gauge” up to three levels. Using a Super attack spends one level of the Hero Gauge, while a “Plus Ultra” attack consumes all three levels. Each character also has a “Quirk Control” gauge which can be increased with the touch screen, providing different effects depending on the character. 

After selecting a character, players also select two “Sidekick” characters who provide various benefits when called upon in combat, such as automatic blocking or temporarily immobilizing the opponent. Five different game modes are included; “Hero Academia” is the game’s story mode, which loosely adapts the anime’s storyline through the end of the first season. “Free Battle” allows players to choose any opponent and freely alter game rules, such as time limit, number of rounds, and enemy strength.

“Wireless Battle” is a local multiplayer mode, allowing two players who own the game to play together or for a second player who does not own the game to join using the Nintendo 3DS Download Play feature. Completing the “Hero Academia” mode as Izuku unlocks “Hero Challenge”, an arcade-style mode where players must fight several characters in a row without losing, as well as the ability to play through “Hero Academia” mode with the other playable characters. Battle for All features 14 playable characters and 14 “Sidekick” characters, whose actors all reprise their roles from the anime series.
