First Impression Of Dragon Ball: The Breakers

Good afternoon everyone,

Last night's stream opened up with Dragon Ball: The Breakers, where the premise is you're either part of a team of survivors looking to escape in a time machine from a power raiders (Kid Buu, Perfect Cell, Frieza). It is basically Dead by Daylight with the Dragon Ball premise attached to it, and let me stress that... 'Dragon Ball', as that era's version of Bulma and Oolong are optional characters to play as. Of course I created my own character, named it Beeri via a random name generator.

Game play is pretty straight forward from the survivor point of a view, you find power keys to power a time machine or wait long enough for Trunks to send one that only allows for a few people to escape. During each match you can also find people to rescue and get some rewards, and you do have the option to fight the 'raider', but it's not advisable unless everyone is ganging up on it at the same time. If you are downed, other players can come to your aid and vice versa. 

Much like the Killers in Dead by Daylight, the Raiders have special ways of 'killing' survivors, in addition to transformation animations if they get strong enough to reach various forms, which is a great nod to the show.

Now something I also want to point out is that Dragon Ball: The Breakers does take place in the same continuity of the Dragon Ball Xenoverse games, in fact your 'hub' in between matches is literally a safe harbor located right next to Conton City. So from a fan fic perspective I could write a story where my OCs from both Xenoverse games and it would make sense. 

In terms of Recommending the game, I would say wait till it's on sale, but at the same time it's only $20 US for the base version, so it's worth checking out.

Now we did get in some MultiVersus and spent time playing as Stripe who originates from Gremlins. He's an 'assassin-hybrid', and while he can do a fair amount of damage outright, his big gimmick is a diving chainsaw attack that can also unintentionally be a 'dive to death'  which I proved several times. That said Stripe is a little easier to learn than Gizmo was.

We also played Fall Guys, and actually won a show as part of a Squad which was epic! There was the usual silliness involved with me falling to my doom repeatedly.
