My Hero Academia: Battle for All
is a 2016 fighting game developed by Dimps and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment for the Nintendo 3DS, based on the manga series My Hero Academia by Kōhei Horikoshi. It was released on May 19, 2016, in Japan.
Gameplay
Battle for All is a 3D fighting game where two characters battle using normal attack combos in addition to special attacks. 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.
Players earn in-game currency from all modes, which can be used to unlock clothing items to customize characters. Completing story missions and "Curriculum" challenge missions also gives experience points, which can be used to level up a character and choose which of their stats to increase, such as power or speed.
