You can play as Bang, Genos, Vaccine Man, Boros, and others. This is a tag-team fighter, so you bring two other characters with you, letting you swap out. You've got health and a stamina meter to manage, and can also use so-called Killer moves that deal plenty of damage.Īs with any fighting game, most of the campaign battles have you facing off against whatever character or goon the mission pits against you. Fighting feels decently satisfying, but the focus is more on spectacle than precision, though not to the extreme extent of the Dragon Ball Z games. The controls include the typical basic attacks, dash, strong attack, combos, charges and throws, and of course defending. You are facing off against a foe in a 3D arena, where you can shuffle around, but the action remains fairly grounded. The melee fighting itself is fairly typical, and similar to what you'd find in other 3D fighters. Rewards include ranking, money, special items, and even more bonuses for performing optional tasks like finishing the match with lots of HP. A number of story and optional missions are typically available, and they provide a clear outline of the strength of enemies you'll face, and the rewards. With your custom hero, over the course of the game you work your way through the Hero Association and rank up by doing quests. Fans might enjoy seeing these adventures and being able to participate in the key fights, but for newcomers the game doesn't do a good job of explaining things. That last bit had to be looked up, because it’s honestly confusing to try and understand the story without being familiar with the anime. According to the developers, the game attempts to follow the first season of the show. The story campaign has you venture out and have various battles, meet characters from the anime, and follow the story of the Hero Association Saga from the show.

You meet Saitama early on – the hero of the anime, and the man whose main strength is being able to knock out all enemies with a single punch. You join the Hero Association as a rookie, hoping to make your way through the ranks and become a force of good in a world where civilians need your help against various monsters and villains.

You create a custom hero that will appear in the game's career mode, and can customize them with visual flair and costumes. For fans unfamiliar with this world or its characters, the game lacks any comprehensive introductions.
