The need to collect different fighters has a very Pokemon feel to it that should also appeal to people who like collecting stuff in games (and, let's face it, that applies to a lot of us). This works well enough, with a sort of overwold map approach that will appeal to JRPG fans as it gives you a reason to explore some locations familiar to fans of the universe. The first is the less engaging of the two as you fly around the world searching out quests or taking on new opponents that will allow you to add fighters to your roster.
The additional narrative flexibility is certainly appreciated, because while Dragon Ball: Fusions is not the deepest of stories, it is great not having to rehash through everything we've seen in the television show over the last couple of decades.ĭragon Ball: Fusions then breaks off into a couple different styles of play. This spins off an alternate reality that pulls in established characters from the Dragon Ball universe but tosses them into a different story that doesn't have to adhere to the core mythos. These two manage to get all of the Dragon Balls together and want to have a tournament to see who the strongest fighter is. Our tale involves two original characters, one custom created by you, and the other a more fleshed-out pre-written character. It introduced time travel to the universe which allowed players to experience a whole range of different "what if" scenarios and match ups, and it is here that Dragon Ball: Fusions derives some inspiration. The core storyline was worthwhile for fans of the anime too, as it played with the established universe and gave us something different. Xenoverse 2 did a great job in providing lots of different things to do, from quests that pop up all over the place, the different parallel quests, to online matches, to a variety of different trainers and of course the core storyline. Dragon Ball: Fusions does a nice job of taking a familiar property and doing something unique with it by leveraging it into a turn-based RPG.ĭragon Ball: Fusions takes some cues from Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, which is a title I have greatly enjoyed, and the reason for this is, unlike some of the more disappointing games that focus exclusively on action, the Xenoverse games build in some greater depth through its systems by adding in some JRPG mechanics. I enjoy this because it adds something of substance to the source material, and that compensates for the fact that the games also never reach the level of technical precision that other fighting games do. Love or hate the series, there is no questioning that Dragon Ball has been an influential anime over its lifetime. Large casts of distinctive characters, and plenty of fighting, fits in perfectly with what we do in so many games.
The Dragon Ball series makes for some great games.
