My Hero One's Justice 2 - Xbox One
My Hero One's Justice 2 brings the spectacular battles of the popular anime series straight to your Xbox One. With an expanded roster of characters and destructive arenas, it's a dream come true for fans of the franchise, though don't expect a deep e-sports fighting game.

Spectacular Quirk Battles
My Hero One's Justice 2 centers around the unique powers (Quirks) of its characters. Players can build teams of three (one main fighter and two sidekicks) to unleash dynamic combos. The arenas are largely destructible, giving the battles an extra chaotic and spectacular feel.
Who is this game for?
This is first and foremost a game for fans of the anime and manga. It relives key moments from the series and lets you play as favorites like Deku, Bakugo, and All Might. However, if you are looking for a deep, competitive fighter like Tekken or Street Fighter, the relatively simple controls might lose their appeal quickly.
