Dragon Ball: The Breakers Review

Here's our full review for the new asymmetrical multiplayer game, Dragon Ball: The Breakers!
In Dragon Ball: The Breakers, you play as either one of seven average citizens (called Survivors) or an iconic villain (called Raiders) from the Dragon Ball universe in a competitive asymmetrical multiplayer showdown. Villains like Majin Buu, Frieza, and Cell have to kill and absorb Survivors to reach new levels, and destroy the Super Time Machine before the Survivors can power it up! As a Survivor, you can play as different characters such as Bulma or Oolong, or a character that you customize! It’s a bit like Dragon Ball Dead By Daylight!

Its a passable game. Not ground breakin or terrible. For 20 bucks couldve been way worse and way heavier on the gacha aspect for more money. Basic point if you like dead by daylight youll probably like this game too

[@Fate862]

$20 digital...not physcial, physical is $30. This is more of a poor mans Dead by Daylight in terms of everything since its just a cashgrab on that DBD genre. It shows, not worth the money at all, more like a Free to play game here honestly. I'd say buy it when its $10 digitally or physically which it will be soon I'm very sure.

"The camera is a pain to deal with" Turn the sensitivity higher in the menu. By the way, the camera gives the character so much leeway to prevent you from peeking around corners without using the dedicated peeking mechanic. For the fighting, skill issue.

[@FinalQueue007]

The game needs to make the survivors a little stronger if it wants to last long. Doing well as a survivor is super reliant on having teammates who aren't braindead and/or throwing and a raider who isn't that smart. If they don't balance things out a bit better people are going to just keep on throwing on purpose in order to potentially be the raider the next game

[@MasterChief-md1qm]

The game actually favors the survivors more it literally only takes a handful of survivors to win against the killer. If you were to put high levels play in survivor against raiders, survivors would win 99% of the time. Survivors have really strong escape skills in this game even then if the raider destroy the time machine it only takes one person to distract them and it’s pretty much impossible because survivors usually transform one at a time, not only does the killer have to worry about the time machine being rushed, they have to look out for their health as well, the only time the killer is huge when they get level 4.
