Over the years the superhero anime known as My Hero Academia in the West has taken pop culture by storm. The story of Izuku Midoriya is entertaining and plays on many of the tropes the superhero genre has established over the years. There are a few officially licensed games of the anime, but to make things interesting they won't be included on this list. If you like My Hero Academia then the first games you'd seek out are the officially licensed ones. Let's look at 10 games to play if you love My Hero Academia.

10 Sunset Overdrive

In action-based anime, there are always moments, usually accompanied by epic music scores, that take the energy and hype to levels previously thought unreachable. Sometimes the action is entertaining simply because it's fun to watch. Sunset Overdrive by Insomniac Games is an underappreciated Xbox exclusive that has the player trying to save a city full of mutated humans who drank a contaminated energy drink. The movement and open playground game design make it a blast as you annihilate monsters while feeling like a superhero.

9 Doki Doki Literature Club

Doki Doki Literature Club is the type of game where it benefits you as a player to know the least about it going in. The premise of the game is that you're a new student at a school who befriends 3 female classmates each with a unique personality. On the surface, it seems like another Japanese dating sim, but as you keep playing the game unfolds in ways you'd never thought possible. It's the type of game you go into rolling your eyes but complete with wide eyes and a jaw that hit the floor.

8 Jump Force

Jump Force Characters

In terms of critical reception Jump Force is far and away the worst received game on this list. The anime fighting game that features tons of Shonen Jump characters is for those people who can't get enough anime fighting in their lives. The fact that the game is a fighter which takes place on a 3-dimensional is enough to at least watch a couple of gameplay videos on Youtube to see if it's worth your time and attention. It could also be a great way to learn about other anime if My Hero Academia is your first foot in the door.

7 Telltale's Batman

If you're the type of person who enjoys My Hero Academia for the story and the action comes second then Telltale's Batman might be of interest. It manages to do some unique things with the Batman mythos which is saying something considering the caped crusader's been around for 80 years at this point. Don't go in expecting to experience tons of action as it's more about unfolding the mystery and meeting new and unique characters along the way. There's also a great follow-up sequel.

6 Fortnite

Fortnite is making the list simply due to aesthetic and the fact that it's family-friendly. Outside of a few character skins, the famous battle royale doesn't have much with My Hero Academia.

Like the show, the game never really overstays its welcome in the same format or locations and is constantly trying to be something you haven't seen before. The game features a very vibrant and cartoony art style that makes it approachable for players of all ages and skill ranges.

5 Injustice 2

Creating a superhero game in the fighting genre could be a difficult task considering the implementation of all of the different powers could cause a headache. The great thing about Injustice 2 is that on the surface it's a solid fighting game with a nice feel and the mechanics just seemingly feel like they should. The difference is that NetherRealm focuses on also delivering a compelling narrative experience that even non-fighting game fans want to experience. It's the perfect template for what a dream My Hero Academia fighting game could be.

4 Persona 5

Have you ever been watching My Hero Academia and wished there were more scenes about U.A. High School and the moment to moment happenings? Well, Persona 5 is a game that's centered around school and features a group of individuals working together. If the classroom dynamics and interpersonal relationships are some of your favorite aspects about My Hero Academia then any of the last 3 mainline Persona games may be worth checking out. They also happen to be very Japanese in design.

3 Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3

Some of the best parts of My Hero Academia are when the entire roster of Class 1-A are working together to take down enemies.

When you see them understand that some of their powers work great with one another and that lightbulb in their mind turns on it leads to some of the shows best moments. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 gives players the ability to create a roster of four Marvel heroes and use your combination to take down Thanos and the Black Order before their plan is finished.

2 Batman: Arkham Asylum

Batman, in general, is a lot darker than most of the heroes in My Hero Academia, but the Class 1-A teacher known as MR. Aizawa is the closest representation of the caped crusader. Batman: Arkham Asylum manages to take place all in one location and has kinetic melee combat that feels great. Throughout the game, you run into a cast of different characters who showcase the very worst of having powers. It's like if Midoriya had to investigate Tartarus, the maximum-security prison responsible for housing the worst villains around.

1 Marvel's Spider-Man

There's an argument to be made about whether Marvel's Spider-Man by Insomniac Games is better than the Batman Arkham trilogy by Rocksteady. Whether it is or it isn't, there is one truth about the 2018 superhero hit, it features a person not too dissimilar to Midoriya from My Hero Academia. They're both average kids who become something greater and understand the responsibility that's bestowed upon you when you're that capable. Also, the game has excellent traversal mechanics and a solid story.
