When I say many, I mean it – Dragon Ball Fusions allows you to befriend over 1,000 characters to fight and fuse by your side.
For those unfamiliar with the franchise, this cold open may confuse, but with a simple, innocuous story and effective, fast-paced action, even non-fans should find it easy to enjoy the game and its many, colourful characters. The game spends little time delving into the mythos of the dragon balls, but swings you right into action, introducing villains Nappa and Raditz, and your soon-to-be allies, Goten and Trunks. It is this wish that kicks off the action of the main game, as you and Pinich are thrust into a bright, newly created world filled with new and old fighters from the Dragon Ball series. While it may not break new ground within the JPRG genre, the game is a satisfying journey with a simple, but effective story, and provides many hours of enjoyable gameplay.Īllowing you to create and customise your own character from a choice of Earthling, Saiyan, Namekian, Offworlder or Alien classes (as if anyone would choose anything other than a Saiyan), Fusions starts off strong, introducing you to Pinich, your friend and rival, as you summon the dragon balls and wish for the ultimate fighting tournament.
Blending the colourful characters of Akira Toriyama’s ever-expanding series with surprisingly addictive turn-based gameplay, Fusions provides an entertaining and gorgeous-looking romp through the many worlds and environments of the Dragon Ball series. As a fan of the Dragon Ball franchise, its newest handheld entry, Dragon Ball Fusions, was an absolute delight.
