How is the game played, you ask? To keep it simple, it’s a strategy game that requires you to build the best 7-men deck out of an astonishing 1,000 cards featuring over 350 characters from the Dragon Ball franchise. I chose the Saiyan female warrior race and the avatar looks exactly the same as Note (one of the earliest characters players will meet), even the clothing! It’s like they are clones but they are actually completely different characters. The option to customize our avatars should have been made available because no matter which warrior race players are going to choose, it’s still going to look exactly the same as some other characters in the game. Though, I feel like they could’ve done much better with the main character’s in-game avatar. Overall, the game does pretty well in the graphics aspect.
The characters are somewhat quite well-designed and the smooth-flowing animation is more than enough for me to enjoy the game. The graphics are definitely not top-notch but they are not unimpressive either so for me, I’d gladly play the game without any complaints. Overall, it’s an interesting way to put together a realistic world and the Dragon Ball universe. From a fragile kid (the main character) to a never-seen-before Dragon Ball character, that’s honestly pretty cool. The Hero Switch idea is pretty interesting too, allowing the characters in Hero Town to enter the game as powerful avatars to take on villains themselves in order to stop the anomalies. I like how they implemented the idea of villains making their way out of the game by taking advantage of the anomalies to infiltrate Hero Town.
It’s a pretty good game to kill off some time when you’re bored but to play it continuously for hours? Nope, I’m not having any of it and I would say it’s mainly because of the battles (which I’ll get into shortly). Follow storyline of Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission is not boring but definitely not one that will keep you engrossed for long either.
