I recently put in my 2 weeks at my job, which is at a supermarket. I will miss getting on this game after a 50 hour work week at a supermarket.

10/10

I am a huge DB fan and loved BT3 but coming back to the series when this game dropped brings me to the realization that unless you're a veteran of the series and other DB fighting games like DBX and DBK then this game is not going to be easy to just jump right into. It is not at all beginner friendly, even when toning down the difficulty and going through the battle training. DBK I was able to hop right into and grasp the controls and mechanics so easily compared to this game. After finally figuring things out I can't even get into an online match. Communication error over and over.
The next problem I have with this game is the episode mode. Super iconic scenes are completely missed because of the slideshow style storytelling. I was so excited when I got to the namek saga with Goku and getting close to goku first becoming SSJ and you never actually see it happen. One slide he is angry before krillin is blown up and the next slide he is SSJ. Not to mention the entirety between Goku going SSJ and frieza nearly blowing up namek is just skipped. This is literally one of the main reasons people play the episode mode, to see the story. This slideshow should have been toggleable with the option to play through episodes with actual cutscenes instead of the flashing pictures with dialogue.

Paid mods is very stupid, yes. But I also need to mention the update corrupting most saves. Even my VANILLA character's saves are corrupt besides the saves in helgen. You read that correctly, my unmodded savegames are broken. Thanks Betheseda. I even waited till the early 2024 update to see if it would fix this issue. Nope. All my saves are still corrupted and lost. This and the achievements being broken STILL is the icing on the cake.

From what I have played, the game seems great. The fluidity in combat is surprisingly great. Most "soulslike" games tend to lose that but this does not. Some of the enemy animations are janky though and can feel pretty unnatural. A HUGE thing that makes me unable to recommend this game is the technical issues. Crashes are bothersome but the worst part is saves being corrupted. I have played the game for almost 3 hours and lost 4 saves... over a 3 hour span.... Yeah... not a very playable experience when the games save data wipes after playing for half an hour to an hour. This sucks because I want to keep playing the game but quite literally can't.

Update: I finally got passed the game erasing it's own data by quitting out every few minutes. Although this is extremely time consuming, inconvenient and immersion breaking. I will try my best to review the game without spoiling it.

First I must mention the enemy variety. Or lack there of. There are about a dozen main types of enemies and basically every enemy in the game is a strong or weak version of these variants. Surely these stronger and weaker versions have different move sets? nope. The enemies of one family of weapons always use the same move sets. After the first 2 levels they just feel so repetitive, especially since encountering stronger enemies
lacks to introduce anything. The only difference is an increase in health and damage. The game seems to follow the "making the game harder makes it better" mentality. The combat is great and makes those health pools use combat mechanics to drain but again, after learning all the movesets of all dozen or so enemies this just becomes wait for attack>parry or dodge>do damage>repeat.

Secondly is the level design and the amount of levels. There's only 13 levels and of those 13, a third of them are the same maps with slightly different layouts and a quarter are maps that are ONLY a boss. They, like the enemies, feel so repetitive to navigate. There's many times where you just see a path from a previous level and feel nothing new. This also leads to less exploration, not only the repetitiveness but the size of the maps. Many times you will find dead ends, cut offs and invisible walls of places that could clearly be opened. Many times playing I found myself wondering "this isn't the whole level, right?" because of the straight forwardness of every level and nothing to explore or alternative routes to take. They're just so linear that they lack any explosiveness. Lots of the levels and maps are simply hallways, there aren't many open areas outside of those meant to fight enemies. Until we get DLCs adding more content, there is just not much replayability to these levels.

Thirdly the leveling up mechanics feel so generic and boring. Theres only 3 stats to level up and up to level 24 you get a perk point each level. These perk points can be reassigned without any negatives which sounds fun but it kind of just grows to a novelty. Some perks are clearly much better than others so the only time I see myself needing to respec is before boss fights, there's not much respecing that will be necessary after learning how to parry on time.

The overall length of the game is also VERY disappointing. Had I not been required to quit out every few minutes and replayed after my progress was erased multiple times, I could beat this game in an hour if that.

With all this in mind on top of the crashing every few minutes I cannot recommend this game. It is fun for the first level or two, maybe three but after that it just becomes bait out enemies one at a time until you reach a boss or get to a level that consists of ONLY a boss. This or just dash and sprint through entire levels. If you take this approach it won't take long AT ALL to exhaust the game of what little content it already has.

I stepped on this game.

It hurted :(

2 times the portals than the original game

Me... I am your daddy

I made myself a mean cup of coffee before facing loads of domestic terrorism.

Would recommend
