Finally a free to play one!!!
I'm not reading that right, What!?
That looks pretty fun! I hope its good and that we get more info soon. (And it will be a team based BR? Thats my jam!)
How to win battle royale:
1) Pick Hagakure.
2) Hide as everybody else takes each other out.
@Blackrosewaifu9000 Same!
Oh I'm gonna be a Mineta main all the way
@Munchlax This guy gets it!
Hmm, looks interesting. Will wait for reviews on this
I've never been into anime, but this seems interesting. I'll have to tell my sister about this.
What next? Final Fantasy VII Battle Royale from mobile comes to the Switch?
...I might like that.
The first 2 MHA fighting games were quite enjoyable, looking forward to this.
Recently tried out the 3DS game that one really kicked my ass.
Ohh nicee! Cant wait to play this.
Will be playing it on switch.
It reminds me of that Jojo’s Bizzare Adventure arcade game that plays similarly to this.
....Can I just play as Toru, have her be naked and stand somewhere the entire time? lol
i really really hope we see JoJo Last Survivor come to consoles sometime soon, it looks like an absolute joy to play and it's still being supported with new stuff.
My kids'll love this. Wondering if it will need an NSO sub. I quit mine and so far didn't feel the need to renew.
@Daniel36 free to play games don't need NSO sub
@CodyMKW Thanks! I knew Fortnite doesn't need one but I was wondering if that applied to more than just that one.
Guess I really did just pay for a couple of old NES games, huh? Well, money saved this year I guess.
No idea who those characters are, but it looks fun.
Consider me interested! Never REALLY dabbled in any Battle Royale (like 2 rounds of Fortnite, but I hate shooters, and some Tetris 99 lol), but I'm a sucker for MHA and Anime in general, so this might be for me
No way!!!! This game looks amazing amd its free!
Even if it has a pay wall, MHA is probably one of those franchises where a battle royale actually makes most sense... I would pay for it
Doesn't look that good to be honest, I mean the moves are too flashy for starters, they block too much of the screen and your view of the opponent. Reminds me a lot of the battle royale spellbreak and that flopped hard
"Quirk and Cooperate!"<3
I'm a MT. lady main, quote me on that!
@UltimateOtaku91 I was thinking about that, too, I'm hoping it wont be to bad, and you might be able to turn it down.
Never watch MHA but hey I’m willing to try this game out.
Also HOLY CARP alot of people are actually not minding this game. Am I hallucinating?
@UltimateOtaku91 Yeah I agree. Seems like a lot of close quarters battles with more than one other person will become button mashing blindness with all the puffs and explosions going on.
When is the release.
When it reaches my region I will most definetly play it. I'm going to take up Todoroki since I'm a Winter Shaman. It'll be fun!
@Greatluigi IKR? I was not ready for the sweet talk.
