About Dragon Ball Legends
Dragon Ball Legends is a mobile RPG and fighting game by Bandai Namco Entertainment. Released on May 17, 2018, it blends anime-inspired storytelling with real-time action. The game follows Shallot, a new Saiyan character designed by Akira Toriyama, as he teams up with Dragon Ball legends to recover his memory. It’s a 3D action RPG with turn-based combat elements, featuring multiplayer modes and story-driven progression. The game leans into fast-paced battles, character customization, and lore-heavy missions. It’s aimed at fans of the Dragon Ball universe who want mobile-friendly access to battles and character interactions.
Gameplay
The core loop revolves around 3v3 turn-based combat with real-time action elements. Players select teams of three characters, each with unique abilities and super moves. Battles use a grid system for positioning and timed button presses to trigger combos. Single-player mode focuses on story missions, while multiplayer lets you challenge others in ranked matches. Character progression involves leveling up stats, unlocking techniques, and equipping items. The game uses touchscreen controls for attacks and skills, with a focus on quick reflexes. Missions often require adapting to enemy strategies, and boss fights test resource management. The mobile port maintains the chaotic energy of the franchise but feels streamlined for touch controls.
What Players Think
The PlayPile community gives Dragon Ball Legends a 4.3/5 rating. Players spend an average of 7 hours, with 85% completing the main story. Moods are split: 40% excited, 30% nostalgic, and 20% overwhelmed by monetization. Community reviews praise the “epic 3D animations” and “deep character roster” but criticize aggressive gacha mechanics. Critics highlight the game’s “polished combat system” but note it “leans too heavily on pay-to-win elements.” Completion rates drop to 45% among players who struggle with in-app purchases. The 450+ achievements focus on combat milestones, with 70% unlocked by players who invest over 20 hours.
PlayPile's Take
Dragon Ball Legends is best for die-hard fans who enjoy mobile RPGs with heavy combat depth and lore. The free-to-play model works, but in-app purchases for stronger characters may frustrate casual players. At $0 base price, it’s accessible, but meaningful progress often requires spending. The 85% completion rate for story mode suggests satisfying progression, though 7-hour averages may feel short for some. Achievements add replayability, but grinding for rare characters can feel tedious. Worth trying if you crave Dragon Ball battles on the go, but be prepared for monetization hurdles.
