This game looks super fun and the perfect kind of game for the Dragon Ball franchise. Eight players will pit seven survivors against a powerful raider who is one of the main antagonists of the franchise. Raiders try to kill all the survivors while survivors use various gadgets, the most valuable being Transpheres which contain the souls of Super warriors and grand special abilities and powers, to escape the enemy and ultimately use the Super Time Machine to escape before the raider becomes too powerful. You can preorder a physical copy of the game now which will net you the Android 18 (Skill: Wall Kick) Transphere and a Scouter (Blue) Accessory. There are a few editions that will be available so here is the breakdown of what comes in each one:
Standard Edition (Digital Only)*
This includes a full copy of DRAGON BALL: THE BREAKERS, an Android 18 (Skill: Wall Kick) Transphere, and a Scouter (Blue) Accessory.
Details on digital pre-order availability will be available at a later date.
Special Edition
This includes the full game, a Customizable Costume, a Dragon (Yellow) Vehicle Skin, a Two-Handed Good Victory Pose, an Android 18 (Skill: Wall Kick) Transphere, and a Scouter (Blue) Accessory.
Limited Edition Bundle (Exclusive to the Bandai Namco Store)
This includes the full game, all Special Edition-exclusive content, an Android 18 (Skill: Wall Kick) Transphere, a Scouter (Blue) Accessory, a DRAGON BALL: THE BREAKERS-themed Steelbook, an exclusive Cell Shell figure, and the Potara (Green) Accessory which is a timed-exclusive Bandai Namco Store bonus.
The game looks really fun to play, though I think they could have done better with the graphics based on the trailers.
