Dragon Ball: The Breakers

"When it gets down to it, DRAGON BALL: THE BREAKERS has a clever premise that makes its gameplay occasionally fun but that often feels like the stars have aligned because otherwise, it&s;s a generally repetitive and monotonous affair."

"If you&s;re a fan of the Dragon Ball franchise, it&s;s obvious that you&s;ll be interested in trying it, but as a game, I would frankly recommend trying something else within the same genre. If Bandai Namco doesn&s;t want to see …"

"Dragon Ball: The Breakers brings an intriguing new way to leverage the Dragon Ball&s;s universe, but it unluckily lacks in execution with a bad technical production, balancement issues and a monetization scheme more suited to a mobile free-to-play game."

"At a glance, currencies such as TP, Spirit Syphons, Zeni, and the unreasonably expensive premium cosmetics, may emphasize predatory microtransaction tactics. However, daily and weekly challenges encourage playing rather than paying to win. That said, the grind can become unnecessarily …"

"Dragon Ball: The Breakers is a genius idea on paper and can be fun at times, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired."

"Fleeing from Cell, Frieza, or Majin Buu&s;s sadistic assaults has its moments of brilliance. But the often tedious exploration, subpar combat system, and intrusive gacha mechanics keep the game from being anything more than a curiosity."

"The developers of Dimps had set themselves the goal of offering a peculiar asymmetrical multiplayer themed Dragon Ball, capable of immersing players in the tension of a game between cat and mouse lived on a razor&s;s edge."

"Dragon Ball: The Breakers brings an incredibly unique spin on asymmetrical multiplayer, and while the foundations are strong, it still needs a bit of work to truly be something special."
