Dragon Ball: The Breakers is the next video game in the highly acclaimed franchise of Dragon ball, developped by dimples
Dragon Ball: The Breakers It will be launched in 2022 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 (compatible), Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S (compatible), Nintendo Switch and PC, being on this last platform where we were able to play the closed beta. This is what it seemed to us.
A great premise, a not-so-great execution
From the first moment we start the game we find one of the most notable flaws in the game, its graphics. The difference between cutscenes and in-action gameplay is generally something common in this industry, but in the case of Dragon Ball: The Breakers it’s too big a leap. Reuse the engine from the Dragon ball xenoverse, something difficult to explain, since it already exists Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, the truth is that you lose even with the games which you use the engine. Although, yes, we would like to point out that this is still a beta, so this section could improve.
Continuing with the game engine, one of lime and one of sand. The movements, although they are mostly traced from Dragon ball xenoverse, they feel awkward and extremely limited, especially when playing as a Survivor. On the bright side, something this game allows for is a lot of customization of the main character.the. Using items from all characters from Dragon ball, in Dragon Ball: The Breakers we can leave our avatar as we wish, even use the skin of a well-known character.
Let’s move on to what he offers Dragon Ball. the breakers as a novelty, there is fabric to cut. A point in the game’s favor is that at first it eventually lets you watch a lot of tutorials, which will set us up very well.. However, something that the game lacks is a button where you can check out the controls. If at any point you forget which button or key to do something with, you are sold.
One positive aspect, which is rarely seen in these types of games, is matchmaking. In the main area (where there will be shops and means to train) you can choose a role. Taking into account that there are 7 Survivors and only 1 Raider, it is obvious that it will be easier to be the first than the second. Although, yes, it doesn’t cost too much to be an assailant.
As for the game, there are several ways to win. The assailant is clear, finish them all. As a Survivor, you either run away and flee or finish off the Raider. To do this, you need to perform certain actions and obtain certain items. And, above all, with the transformations, called “Dragon change “. Through the Dragon change, we will temporarily take on the appearance (in part) of one of the Z Warriors, and we can defeat the Raider. While this looks good, in practice you will need to know how and when to use it, otherwise it will become more harmful than beneficial.
However, now is the time to talk about the biggest black spot in Dragon Ball: The Breakers. Even though it will be a paid game, the capacities and different powers of Dragon change will be unlocked … at random. We will do them with a clear gacha system, we do not yet know if there is a payment, even if it is what it seems.
Final conclusions on Dragon Ball: The Breakers
In general summary of our impressions, Dragon Ball: The Breakers it’s a nice game. It will be a lot of fun to play, especially with friends. However, it has many shortcomings and a questionable double monetization system. Therefore, although at the beginning a lot will be said about him and he will be widely played, he is not predicted to have a long and bright future. Also, depending entirely on multiplayer, if the game does not hold interest, it will not last too long, its servers active. The idea promised a lot, but there are several mistakes that have been made that tarnish its realization, and that’s a shame. Finally, and as always, if you want to hear more news like this, be sure to drop by your home here at Xbox space.
