Synopsis

If youve played a dragonball game you know exactly what this will be! From fighting to saving the world, its all up to you! Travel through time becoming one of the strongest time patrollers ever to exist, fight with or against the Z-Fighters and the many enemies they faced, learning everyones moves as either a Human, Namek, Saiyan, Frieza Clan or Majin race.




Plot

Several years after the events of dragon ball, dragon ball z and dragon ball GT there is two trouble-makers changing the past to gain the power and knowledge they need to get stronger. A high-ranking time patroller who we all know as Future Trunks has wished upon shenron for a warrior who is really strong from even further in the future to come help revive history to how it should be. Fighting through the key events of every saga within the whole dragon ball z series from raditz all the way to kid buu and expanding within the GT sagas you are there to fix time. Who from? Well from Towa and Mira. Towa is a woman who is travelling through time gaining power to become stronger along with Mira who is created by Towa. Your goal is to find them and destroy them at whatever costs. With each event you will come to a realisation there is someone else, something else. Stronger than those characters A god. Demigra is stuck within a realm where the Supreme Kai of Time has locked him up away a long time ago and with Towa and Mira wrecking time as you know it, the crack becomes bigger they do this unintentionally until it eventually cracks. Freeing Demigra to attempt to take over Toki-Toki City and control all of history and do whatever he likes. So basically, you got to stop him.



Gameplay

The gameplay within this game is one of the most wonderful dragon ball experiences I have EVER had. I am a big dragon ball fan ever since I was a kid and this one blows everything out of the water for the 3D Games. It combines many key pieces from games together to complete something awesome! Imagine the tower from Destiny, You got something like that. This is called Toki-Toki city within this city you are able to free-roam within and do a few key things. Buy clothes, buy accessories, moves, power ups, find masters, go on parallel quests, do story missions, find others, challenges others, world tournaments, offline and online battles, wish with the dragon balls, send/receive items. The list goes on and thats pretty awesome that you have all that available to you within a dragon ball game that is more known for your button mashing fighter.

Topping off the greatness lets speak of a few of these things, creating characters and the mentor/masters. Within the new game from Bandai you are able to create your own character. The creation system is a souped up version of dragon ball online which was a DBZ MMO that was canned back in 2013 (never made it to north america). With additional races of course! You can play as a Human, Saiyan, Namek, Frieza Clan or Majin. Each to there own they all have special abilities on choice, for example a female human can re-generate energy quicker than a male saiyan. But an Arcosian (Frieza Clan) can move super fast and send out Ki blasts that will paralyze an enemy for a few seconds. They all have their perks from females to males, with exception to the Namek/Frieza Clan as they are not gender specific. After youve created your character you are offered three choices being are you a melee fighter, a ki fighter or balanced, that explains itself.

Next lets speak of the masters! This is an awesomely insane system that brings extra important gameplay to the game with a little bit of RNG. There are several masters that include: Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Adult Gohan, Krillin, Captain Ginyu, Gotenks, Frieza (Form 1), Android 18, Perfect Cell, Hercule and Beerus with additional DLC you can get Tien, Yamcha and Pan. With each of these masters you go through leveling up stages from up to 5. You do missions in game and eventually they each rank up and you learn a move of their own. Certain masters require a level difference to be able to get them for example to get Goku you must be above level 70 to get Beerus you must have completed Gokus training. With each master you can learn their ultimate move like Vegetas Final Flash or Beerus Destruction Ball.




Controls

So you want to know about the controls of this game? They are quite awesome! They took away the button mashing feel and added some skill! Your default attacks will obviously be the X and Y (on the xbox one/360) and your respected buttons for your other consoles. It has changed from doing combos to activate your ki attacks to simply pressing a button! To be able to use your Kamehameha for example you can set it to ABXY and you just have to hold down RT and you are able to pick it if you set it to any of those keys. In order to use an ultimate attack all you have to do is set it to A or X and hold down both RT and LT and pick the ultimate of your choice! You may have noticed I forgot to include B and Y. Thats because they have different uses! B has no use at all it just is there for no reason But Y is known as a evasive attack. Leading from fast-moving moves or set attacks to charging you are able to use this to get out of sticky situations.




Graphics

The graphics of this game are much like every other dragon ball game, cell-shaded with that 3D Dragonball feel that sets the series right. It obviously does not look realistic but thats to be noted because its more of an arcade game instead of facing for realism. On your consoles it is all limited to 30FPS and on your PC you can have it at 60FPS capped. In my opinion it is notably relatable to Ultimate Tenkaichi graphic wise. Check out my review on that for more information on the graphics! Other than that is hard to say anything else about the graphics this game will have.




Recommended

If i could recommend this game to you, I would simple as that. Kidding! IF you are a massive fighting game fan this is the game for you, from different styles you can be a melee/stamina fighter or a Ki/Health fighter it is all your play-style! I would also recommend this a LOT if you are an avid dragon ball fan as this expands within the series while keeping it classic.




Final Rating

Story - 10
Graphics - 10
Gameplay - 10

This is in my opinion one of the best console dragon ball games I have played minus the legacy of goku one, two and buus fury from the GBA. It is a perfect ten too me and I hope you check it out!
