Dragon Ball: The Breakers is a 1-on-7 online asymmetrical action game in which a band of seven everyday humans tries to survive the Raider (a classic Dragon Ball rival such as Cell and Frieza) who will hunt and evolve into an unstoppable force.
The Breakers wants to bring Dead By Daylight to Dragon Ball, without understanding what makes that game great.
At a glance, currencies such as TP, Spirit Syphons, Zeni, and the unreasonably expensive premium cosmetics, may emphasize predatory microtransaction tactics. However, daily and weekly challenges encourage playing rather than paying to win. That said, the grind can become unnecessarily long, even if you're just looking to buy some new clothes for your character.
Dragon Ball: The Breakers is a great idea with poor controls, a bad camera, and suspect monetization.
Dragon Ball: The Breakers isn't likely to challenge titles like Dead by Daylight for the top spot in this growing asymmetrical multiplayer genre, but it is a fun game that stands out among the rest of the Dragon Ball franchise for daring to do something different. Despite some technical issues at launch and the need to do a lot of grinding if you want to get enough experience with the different Raiders, this is still a worthwhile multiplayer timesink for anime fans.
