Thankfully, survivors are not completely useless against Freiza or Cell. “…in its current state, Dragon Ball: The Breakers is best reserved for hardcore fans of the franchise.”

Survivors have access to basic weapons, which are general purpose and are used to break containers and the like, rather than as aid against the predatory character. These sequences occur in three distinct zones, marked by A, B and C, and then a final Z sequence in which survivors must protect the time machine as it powers on before escape is assured. Dragon Ball: The Breakers’ narrative justifies the existence of these Frankensteind maps by chalking things up to rifts in time, which fits surprisingly well within the Xenoverse setting in which the game clearly takes place.Īs survivors, players must repair a time machine by finding keys strewn about the map. Maps include bits and pieces of West City, the outskirts and several iconic landmarks such as Frieza’s spaceship and swaths of Planet Namek. With seven survivors and one iconic big-bad (Cell or Frieza) in any given match, each round in Dragon Ball: The Breakers takes place on reasonably large maps that seemingly borrow and amalgamate recognizable locations from the long-running series. These feelings also extrapolate into gameplay, with most actions feeling just slightly off as if they’re missing one or two key frames of animation, particularly regarding the villain characters. With assets seemingly pulled and created from the Xenoverse 2 game, The Breakers feels cheap, even for a budget game. I wouldn’t go as far as to say The Breakers is a bad game however, in its current state, Dragon Ball: The Breakers is best reserved for hardcore fans of the franchise. My brief time with Dragon Ball: The Breakers and its closed network test has left me feeling mixed about the whole affair.
