Played some 40 hours of this. I really enjoyed when I began playing many months ago. Had some sense of achievement, like beating some hard bosses in Elden Ring. But then, as I progressed to other characters, the alternate routes became increasingly impossible to beat at my skill level. Conditions are too vague and too hard for an average player, which in my opinion defeats the purpose of unlocking content through story mode. Bandai patched things which were inconsequential to the story mode experience and looks like they made many fights absurdly hard. There were times in which I was getting beaten up up to 40-50 hits in a combo by the CPU character and when I managed to get a few hits in, the CPU would pull a counter out of nowhere.

So, yeah, I believe Bandai should really fix issues with difficulty in story mode and vagueness in stated conditions for alternate routes. I payed a lot of money for this game and I just spent some three hours trying to beat two fights. And I didn't manage to do it. I'm not having fun anymore with the game, so that's uninstalled for now. Maybe some time in the future Bandai patches these issues and it'll become enjoyable again.

Played through the first What if scenario/Sparkling episode with Goku, definitely the hightlight of the game for me, super fun!

Well, I have to say... I have seen the complete roster and I am... impressed. Truly impressed. However, I'm a little worried because the roster have more fighter than they said, so... Maybe some of these characters are DLC? They are already in the game, so that would be inexcusable. Let's hope they are not.

Maybe some of these characters are DLC? They are already in the game, so that would be inexcusable. Let's hope they are not.

Otherwise, the only problem would be the absence of local multi (one map is not enough), a truly important problem, BUT I can kinda forgive that if the roster is as good as it seems.

Last time, some people said I was wrong when I claimed there would be no films nor GT in this game. But now we can say the almost complete roster and there is simply no room for them.

So no local multiplayer and no film, DB base nor GT characters this time. It's sad, since otherwise the game looks great.

What we know until now:

The good:

  • The gameplay looks promising.
  • It looks awesome.
  • Alternative stories look interesting.
  • You can customize your characters appearance.
  • Beerus and Toppo in a Tenkaichi game.

The bad:

  • No DB, GT nor movies characters (that hurts)
  • Local multiplayer is a shit (just the worst map)
  • Shitty Super characters such as Brianne team or the female …

Since most of my time with fighting games comes from the local multi, I won't buy it until it get really cheap. Some things look promising, though.

No DB base, no DB GT, no DB films... 20 DLC characters announced before the game even came out. And the worst part: no coop mode. In a fighting game.

That's underwhelmingly sad, but I'm out.

DBZ fans just want a proper spiritual successor to Budokai Tenkaichi 3!
