Here’s a rundown on the game:
We’re here! Team up to win the big battle of 24 players! Our Hero Academia!
Teams of three, for a total of eight. Survive to the end of the battle royale and you’ll win.
Use your quirk! Use your quirk to fight!
The strengths of each character are completely different depending on their “quirk.” Use your strengths to your advantage and compensate for your weaknesses to survive the fierce battle.
By collecting the skill cards scattered throughout the stage, you can enhance your “unique” skills by an order of magnitude. It’s up to you to decide which “unique” moves you want to develop.
The key to victory is to collect each other’s skill cards and the key to victory is to collect each other’s skill cards and aim to strengthen the entire team.
Be a hero. Be the enemy!
On the stage, there are citizens who have failed to escape. The whole team will benefit by behaving in their own way.
This title is based on the “My Hero Academia” manga and anime series. In this game, you control familiar characters such as Izuhisa Midoriya, Katsumi Bakugo, and Megumi Shikaragi, and form teams of three to compete in a battle royale where a total of eight teams compete to win. Each character fights by making full use of his or her own special ability, or “quirk,” which can be upgraded by using “quirk skill cards” scattered throughout the field.
In addition, by behaving in a “typical” manner, such as rescuing heroes and threatening enemies, players will be able to obtain powerful items that will determine whether they win or lose the battle.

Cooperate with your team members and aim for victory.
- Take advantage of each character’s “Quirk”! – Players control Hiroaka characters from a third-person perspective, targeting and attacking enemies. Take advantage of each character’s unique characteristics and work together to survive the fierce battle. Each character’s “quirk” can be leveled up by using “quirk” technique cards scattered around the field, and the leveled-up quirk technique will be enhanced in appearance and effect by an order of magnitude.
