### 4/5 — Great game but really hard.

*2026-03-08, version 2.15*

I am a diehard fan of My Hero Academia. This game is really fun but I find the mechanics very difficult and a bit frustrating at times. Also Kirishima needs to be fixed. The fact that he can’t move forward makes it impossible to protect Bakugo after being hit too many times because he goes behind him. And Bakugo sometimes changes lanes right when a blast hits him, not giving me a chance to take the hit. And no matter how many times I upgrade Bakugo and Kiri I can’t get past beating Daibo. So please fix Kirishima. Other than that the game is really fun.

### 5/5 — Amazing and good just need more levels though

*2023-11-03*

So honestly I didn’t think much of this game at first but when I played for like 10 minutes I started to love this game it’s amazing and takes me back to old pixel games but I finished and now I’m bored I’m just asking maybe could you add maybe levels where you can be 5% Deku and 100% Deku and maybe a villain mode either  then that I love this game and if you reading this try the game for at least 30 minutes I love this game I encourage you to make more games like this developer. Thank you for reading this if you did.

### 5/5 — Love

*2021-12-15, version 2.15*

I love it

### 5/5 — LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

*2021-05-20*

(First off I just need to add that I am a HUGE anime fan so this game mean a lot to me)I absolutely LOVE this game and I am really happy that I finally found a My Hero Academia game (I seen lots more mha games, but this game was the first I came across) i also love how I get to start off with kacchan! Overall this game is awesome and it’s all thanks the the developer for making this app! YOU ARE AWESOME! (All might himself approves of the app) :)

### 5/5 — Great game

*2021-03-28*

I just finished it I maxed out bakugo and shoto also kirashima one thing I suggest is that you can play as deku but you can’t but over all it is awesome you should make it so bakugo can make a huge explosion and do huge damage and make it so you can make kirashima ultimate hardened form that blocks all damage for 10 hits make it so you can fight more of class 1A

### 5/5 — I love the game but can you add more characters

*2021-03-10, version 2.15*

I love the game but I think there should be more characters like deku or todoroki or maybe even uraraka.

### 5/5 — Your game is absolutely amazing 🤚🥺🤚

*2021-02-10, version 2.15*

I am a My Hero Acedemia fan myself, i have completed your game but i’ve waited for a month for more updates, but i know you’re probably working on it! Bye!! 🌹✨☺️

### 4/5 — Add more characters:/

*2021-02-06, version 2.15*

I like the game a lot but the thing I don’t like it that there’s only baku :(( I would also like other hero’s and maybe if you could add like a group of fighters/hero’s that would be awesome! Anyways,I hope it’s not that much to ask :))

### 5/5 — New things that are cool

*2021-01-26*

I think u should add a level with deku that is the last level and u fight all might that is over powered but when u beat him it was a cloak and it was actually all for one. And there is a bug that once u lose u can keep it on the screen they will still attack so u can beat every body easily

### 3/5 — Buff kirishima

*2021-01-17*

Kirishima’s game mode should be balanced better. Kirishima can only take so much damage before he is knocked behind bakugo and rendered useless until bakugo is hit. I think it would be more fair if kirishima had a way to move forward like the little flame does for bakugo. Also bakugo’s ai is absolutely terrible. I don’t know if that’s intentional to had challenge or what, but sometimes he will stand in a lane with just waves of attacks coming and just watch as they pummel you and then of course him. Also he tends to stand in a lane and will switch lanes with an attack coming at him in that lane but it’s already passed kirishima so I have no way to defend against it. 

Also, I’m very unsure about the difference between shield and defense, and speed doesn’t seem to have any useful effect. In game explanations would be a welcome addition and would rectify this.

Other than that, bakugo was fun to play as, and of course I haven’t gotten to todoroki yet. The co-op story is also fun.
