    Dragon Ball: The Breakers isn’t likely to challenge titles like Dead by Daylight for the top spot in this growing asymmetrical multiplayer genre, but it is a fun game that stands out among the rest of the Dragon Ball franchise for daring to do something different. Despite some technical issues at launch and the need to do a lot of grinding if you want to get enough experience with the different Raiders, this is still a worthwhile multiplayer timesink for anime fans.

    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're a fan of the Dragon Ball franchise, it's obvious that you'll be interested in trying it, but as a game, I would frankly recommend trying something else within the same genre. If Bandai Namco doesn't want to see The Breakers fail, it should definitely get down to business with updates and content, as it has a lot of room for improvement.

    DRAGON BALL: THE BREAKERS incorporates a niche but successful formula into a similarly successful franchise, which should be a match made in heaven. However, due to graphical and technical issues paired with the unbalanced gameplay and unclear progression and menus, it results in a bit of a mess of a game. It was worth a shot, but I feel as though Dragon Ball should stick to what it knows best.

    Unplayable as certain characters, untested, bad QA. Cannot believe it was released like this.
