I like the idea of all the RPG mechanics in theory, but in this case I felt like they were more of a roadblock to the fun. Most fights you can breeze through, but then you'll hit something that can wipe you out in a few hits, so you must go back and do side quests and training until you've levelled up enough. True, but I found the RPG side of this made it feel like a bit of a grind to me. Well what style of fighting works well does largely depend on which race you choose, and how you decide to spend your attribute points as you level up.

Yeah, the fights will definitely look a lot more epic if you mix up your moves, but what's the point in looking fancy if it's not the most effective tactic? The quickest way to win most fights was to do that sneaky dodge move to get behind an enemy and then you can just mash one attack button to unleash a huge combo. There's some deep battle mechanics though with lots of combos and special moves to master, but for the most part I found you really didn't need to use them. It's also a large multiplayer hub where you can meet other players and do quests with them.īut really, all that stuff just feels like busy work between fights which are the real meat and bones of this. There, you'll be able to take on side missions such as 'Simultaneous Quests', or visit the school to learn new techniques and advance your characters training level. Gameplay wise you'll spend your time jumping between big battles, and roaming around the open world town of Conton City. The whole story did feel like an excuse to create a sort of 'best of' Dragon Ball experience didn't it? Which, if you're a fan of the anime and just want a bit of nostalgia is fine, but as an original story it comes across as a disjointed mish mash of moments and characters. Yes, so once again get to create your own Time Patroller and take them into battle, going back in time to re-live some of the biggest moments in the Dragon Ball time line. There, a group known as the Time Patrol formed to keep history from being manipulated by the villains Towa and Mira, but now they're back!
