Cost?
I've unfortunately had to refund as it just doesn't seem good value for money, which is heartbreaking as I'm a pretty big Dragon Ball fan. :(

In my 2 or so hours playing I admittedly didn't touch multiplayer but I tried everything else and was just really underwhelmed, the combat was just okay. I didn't find any of the story fights a struggle, even the Vegeta one people had complained about so difficulty wasn't the issue. It was all just very meh. I'm not calling it bad but I personally can't warrant £55 for the current state. It's a game I'll contemplate picking back up in a future sale.

What are your thoughts?

If you use classic controls you made the right call. It'll take a few months for them to fix the bug that makes a move unusable.

thats cool and all, but who cares that u refunded a 2024 game. the standard for video games rn is the same price ur complaining abt.

It's your money and your choice. I personally love the game and it's everything I wanted it to be. Just wish you could revenge counter back attacks because super counter is inconsistent due to the speed of some characters.

I actually refunded the game as well but that was so I could get it on my PS5 instead... yes, the price is a bit more than it should, in all honesty.

I would pay 2 crisp 20€ bills for this game, at the most.

I'm not one for online play anyway so I cant really say anything about that but when it comes to the story modes, I do find it a weird decision that they chose to have it be episodic, and even more so the fact that the only alternate paths I've come across seem to be only for Goku's story????

Vegeta and Gohan didn't have anything that I could see until now.

What If paths are **really** the ONLY thing that I wanted from this game, I'm trying to do a story mode consisting exclusively on these paths (whenever available) but I had been led to believe they would be far more common.

Well you clearly care to some extent as you've taken the time to comment?

I'm glad you love it :)

Maybe I was just expecting something different, like I said I'll probably end up picking up the game again on a discount at a later date as I can see myself playing it more at a cheaper price point. Enjoy playing :)

I think the only one I got to was the Frieza "what if" and I assumed it would take me down a path of fights with a different character or 2. However it just seemed to be an outcome of not using the spirit bomb to end Frieza. :(

I am waiting on a sale or proper Steam Deck support.

Ya, it’s on the ol’ wishlist for a good sale one day.

Game seems fun, but…already have xeno 2 for fantasy AI match ups and firing off muh lazors as UI Goku. And far as mp is concerned, nah. Don’t have time these days to get good at fighters, and sounds like just repeat meta slop matches anyways for most folks.
