It is the fourth console game based on Kōhei Horikoshi's manga series My Hero Academia, following the 3D fighting games Battle for All (2016), One's Justice (2018), and One's Justice 2 (2020), and the third to be developed by Byking.

Gameplay

edit

Ultra Rumble is a third-person battle royale action game which also incorporates elements of third-person shooters[1] and multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) games.[2]

Characters

edit

Six characters are unlocked by default, while additional characters and cosmetics can be acquired through a gacha system.[3][4] Some characters and cosmetics can also be unlocked via the "Special License", a battle pass that can either be leveled up by playing a large number of matches, or using microtransactions.[5][1] Players are also occasionally given "Rental Tickets", which can be spent to play a single match using a character that has not yet been unlocked.[5]

Reception

edit

James Birks of TheXboxHub gave the game 4/5 stars, praising the map design, matchmaking, and spectacle, while criticizing the small villain roster and lack of mode variety at launch.[13] Niche Gamer gave the game a 6/10 review, praising its core gameplay and team synergy, while criticizing the game's character unlock system, calling the free methods of unlocking characters "unreasonably grindy" and the microtransactions "obnoxious".[1]

Ultra Rumble was downloaded seven million times in its first month.[14][15] It surpassed ten million downloads as of February 8, 2024.[16]
