Dragon Ball: The Breakers

Dragon Ball: The Breakers needs to work on its online infrastructure, but beyond that it's a fast, exciting romp best played with a party full of well-known friends, as opposed to silent strangers.

If you enjoy online games with a unique approach then DRAGON BALL: THE BREAKERS likely piqued your interest. But, is it any good?

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.

It's not great, and there are better games of this ilk for players to try out, but if you're enough of a fan of Dragon Ball, you might find just enough to enjoy here that makes it worth the cost of admission.

Dragon Ball has been a household name forever at this point. Parents and children alike know about the adventures of Goku and friends, or at the very least know the signature orange suit and spiked hair. Dragon Ball has also had a game on probably every console to ever come out since it originally debuted in the 80s. There have been plenty of styles of games surrounding the Dragon Ball series: top-down adventure games, fighting games, even card games, but never a survivor game like Dead By Da...

My fear is rising, it’s overflowing! DRAGON BALL: The Breakers has invaded our fair planet with promises of terror and destruction, and we need you and your fellow players to fend off these invaders with the power of… wait, what do you mean you aren’t playing as Goku this time!?

Dragon Ball: The Breakers' poor camera and controls limit what enjoyment can be had in this interesting take on asymmetrical multiplayer that is already hindered by other design choices.

There's plenty of more content on the way for Dragon Ball: The Breakers. In fact, it's already been teased that Great Ape Vegeta could be coming in the game's second season. Dragon Ball: The Breakers is the kind of game that's rough around the edges at launch but could be improved greatly with updates. A switch to a completely free-to-play monetization model would do wonders for the game, and it seems likely that it could head in that direction, so Dragon Ball fans may want to wait and see what happens.

While the charm of the legendary franchise might appeal to a lot of fans, the game itself is an extremely flawed product.

Despite efforts to include a vast collection of Dragon Ball characters and references in The Breakers, going as far as to provide a somewhat logical explanation of why it is possible for dead villains and normal civilians being able to transform into your favorite heroes, the game is ultimately let down by its poor mechanics and systems. Instead of giving players a chance to sink their teeth into a new way to enjoy the storied franchise, Dragon Ball: The Breakers will only be consigned to the place of a bad memory, much like a poor filler episode of an anime.

Dragon Ball: The Breakers is broken. In their efforts to slap a Dragon Ball coat of paint onto the world of asymmetrical horror-multiplayer action, Bandai Namco has failed to put any care or consideration into the gameplay mechanics that make games like these so fun and enjoyable. Mixed with matchmaking issues and egregious paid gacha mechanics, this is a poor attempt at live-service multiplayer hidden behind the veil of 90s anime nostalgia.

It’s a fun game that needs to work on its balancing.
