It's great. I enjoyed playing it.

It is a great nostalgia trip but quickly gets boring. i forced myself to proceed at many points of the game but ultimately dropped it as it was simply too much of a chore. The open world felt bland, the side-quests grindy and the combat system is basically "smash one button and use super attacks when you have charged up ki"

If this game was not a dragonball IP, i can imagine refunding it within half an hour of playtesting

I am real Super Sand!

The best thing about this game is the graphics, the music and of course, the Japanese voice acting (English dub… bleh)! It really feels very faithful to the anime series. I would say despite some very minor story omissions here and there, it’s a good way to experience the story of this anime series if someone has never read the manga or watched the anime (but they should do that first, of course).

Then comes the bad; this game is an open world. Scratch that, I should say “Open Areas” because there’s lots of mini open world areas to explore, all separated by loading times. Lots of side quests and side activities, like collecting the Dragon Balls, will require you to go from open area to open area within a short time span, which means… lots and lots and lots of loading screens.

The next bad thing is the combat system. It gets better as you learn new skills, but it feels terrible. The enemies glow red when they’re about to perform a super attack, and they get super armor during this period. They’ll glow red even if you’re in the middle of a combo. At any time, any enemy, be it boss or saibamen, can slip out of your combo and knock you flat with super armor shenanigans. This feels horrible on an already basic combat system. It is maddening. I just ended up relying on beam attacks from afar the whole game.

Then we have D-medals. You gotta collect these medals scattered around the world or else you won’t learn new super moves. You get lots as rewards for completing side quests, but you’ll eventually be running low as some facilities you need to craft also use these… for whatever reason.

And then we have the open world itself. It’s like the developers needed to give you things to do here, you so have cooking which gives you extremely pathetic stat boosts, you have a car and a bipedal walker that you can build… for some reason, you have a baseball mini game, mining, fishing, collecting z-orbs. All these things would be fine if it all came together into a nice cohesive whole of a game experience, but they don’t. It feels disjointed and meaningless. I did the bare minimum from all these activities to get all achievements, and I had no issue with any other part of the game. It’s just pointless busywork to pad out this barren world.

It’s not all bad, and I had some fun here, but this game should have been better than this if it got this many DLCs. I was left disappointed.

forced me to use controller in the intro and wouldnt let me use mouse keyboard. i do not have a controller so i was locked in the starting fight

fafss

uh its dbz dbz good
