   Dragon ball fusion is not just the best dragon ball game but simply one of the best games of all time, it generally is a well designed gameDragon ball fusion is not just the best dragon ball game but simply one of the best games of all time, it generally is a well designed game with good puzzles, for lack of a better word, and generally gets hype moments all throughout, while the game does have many flaws, it's a game I can play over and over and over again, and every time it's a different experience with a new team and different characters, the game does have flaws like it needs more playable races or at least more customisation options, but dragon ball fusions is truly amazing and well designed, I am annoyed to Amit this as it has no right to be such a good game, it's a dragon ball game on the 3ds, but it is truly one of the best games of all time, and I'm someone who loves the xenoverse and bootykai games (yes that was misspelled on purpose) but fusions has everything I love in a game, smart combat, team combat, characters hidden behind side quests which means if you want a certain character you will have to go out your way to find them, the fusion mancanic was perfect, tho I have some words for the 5 way fusion, which while hype at some moments I feel could have been locked for only big fights to make the power feel more impactful, but the final fusion at the end of the game (no spoilers) but it still gives me chills until today.… Expand

When I first saw it I thought it looked interesting but never imagined I'd have so much fun playing it. I'll start with the pros.
   
   Pros +
   
   1. The combat system works really well. I'm a long time fan of turn based combat and found the addition of interactive elements and player placement helped keep things fast paced.
   2. The art style is excellent, it looks great for a 3ds game.
   3. The level design was great. The game is divided into 7 stages and i found myself eager to unlock them just so I could see which iconic area was next.
   4. The fusions system works well and its quite fun to see what you can create.
   5. I never needed to grind so the game never dragged for me.
   6. There are a lot of sidequests. Most of them are typical fetch quests, pointless flying through ring games or just more fighting but it is a lot of fun finding your favorite characters around each map and talking to them.
   7. There's a huge amount of fan service. Characters from dragonball, dragonball z, gt and super along with the movies.
   8. The story is new and doesn't rely on reusing scenes from the anime like a lot of dragonball games. It's not amazing but I liked it and the final fights were pretty cool.
   
   Cons -
   
   1. The fights can be quite long, although as the game doesn't require much grinding this didn't bother me.
   2. A lot of reviewers complained that the attack animations are lengthy but I really enjoyed them with the exception of ring outs. When your character is knocked out of the ring you see the same animation of them flying through a mountain. It gets old and afterwards you have to reposition them on the map so this can slow the pace of combat.
   3. Recruiting characters can be annoying. You have to build up an attack meter and then launch a special move but it can be blocked. Also later in the game it's a challenge to build your attack meter without knocking everyone out first.
   4. You need to collect energy to progress to the next stage. This could be a little annoying but it didn't take too much time.
   
   Overall this is a really impressive game. I bought xenoverse at the same time but found fusions much more addictive. If you're a dragon ball/rpg fan and a 3ds owner then I really couldn't recommend it enough.… Expand

I am not normally a fan of this style of game play but when you mix the Dragon Ball universe into the mix it just works. Pretty cool to see some of the random fusions you can do. If your a Dragon Ball fan and you own a 3DS then this is a must buy game.… Expand

   This game is not your typical western release DBZ game. This game goes back to the early days when DBZ (or even DB) could be experienced as anThis game is not your typical western release DBZ game. This game goes back to the early days when DBZ (or even DB) could be experienced as an RPG. This game has a unique approach to RPG as it's both turn-based and action (think paper mario) with a twist of Pokemon. The game is set in its own world where all the timelines/ages are multiversed into its own... well... multiverse. The worlds, or levels, almost feel like dreams or realities molding into one another. In one world hercule city sits next to a elevated cliff that holds Cell's arena. Off in the distance is the ruins of another city with a post-apocalyptic looking Capsule Corp. (ie future trunks timeline) with a lower region looking like the canyon where Dr. Gero's lab was hidden. So you can clearly see each level/world is compiled of the corresponding saga's. The game gets a solid 5/10 for something fresh. We've played the same DBZ games since the ps2/gamecube era starting nearly 15yrs ago; not even Xenoverse gets a free pass on that one. So this felt like a breath of fresh air. The RNG in the game would have to be it's weakest point (currently on world 4 out of 6 at time of writing this) followed by the strength/weakness trinity system and how each character fits into one of those (and how rare it is to find them... looking at you Power types). If I had to fix anything, or pray it was patched, it would be the resources needed to progress in the game. There are literally 6 of them and you are not guaranteed any after winning a fight. You will need 50 of that one source and hunt down targets flying around with the corresponding color type and they will not reward you what you seek. They might even reward you a different type that you don't need. For that the game is tedious and the higher level you get the more HP enemies have and the less impact your attacks feel they have. At least the combat is fun.… Expand

The battle mechanics are surprisingly deep with character placement and attacks pushing characters around the arena. Very funny writing keeping with the tone of the first DB series. A lot, lot of content, big number of side quests and many characters to collect and fuse. My only gripe is probably the awful handling of learning new skills and transferring those when fusing/defusing. If we ever get a sequel, I'd love to see that fixed.… Expand

What could have been a fun little romp in the Dragon Ball universe ends up sucking eggs due to a stupid combat system, lack luster controls and a dull story line.
