Players find the game fun but plagued by long queue times and lobby issues. [1][2][3] The gacha monetization system is widely criticized as predatory. [4][5][6] Some players enjoy the unique asymmetrical gameplay despite its flaws. [7][8][9]

I have over 100 Hours, every achievement, and experience playing both roles at Z rank, and I can tell you with 100% confidence that this game is not worth your time or money. It's really sad too, because this is one of the few non-DBD Asym's that actually still has enough players to quickly form full lobbies. Recently, I came back to this game after about a year long break, and the games that I have been able to …

the fact that ALL OF YOUR SURVIVOR abilities are gotten from a GATCHA system in a pay to play game ruins this game in general

Ever since the Crossplay patch its easy to find a match between 2 minutes. If you're a fan of asymmetrical games and also of Dragon Ball there is really no way for you to not enjoy this. You can make quite the weird quirky builds for your survivor and also the feeling of being a Dragon Ball villian is an unmatched experience in this game. All that being said, buy it when its on sale as it usually goes for dirt cheap.

This game had so much potential to be really enjoyable. After playing this game for over 600 hours I hate it with every fiber of my being. I spent at least 500 hours of my 600 sitting in the queue area running in circles. I will never forgive them for releasing this game and somehow making every wrong decision to turn it into this waste of space on steam.

its a fun game when you can actually find a lobby. and bring back the raider button. if you cant fill lobbies, then fill empty teams with COM players, they did it 15 years ago, you can do it with modern tech, it's not hard.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →dont get me wrong, it's fun and enjoyable when you can get a match (and nobody abandons the match) i'd even say it's a solid gameplay loop but this should have either been F2P or a new gamemode in xenoverse

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Should've been a free game. For what it is? Very niche and really uninspired. With the addition to a Gacha System tacked on for extra revenue? Yeah, not worth a single buck. Though the updated Xenoverse type models do look nice. This game isn't worth it in my opinion.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ok it is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ because not only do you pay like 20 dollars but then the entire skill system is based around gacha. premium currency does not drop nearly often enough to be worthwhile and unlocking anything meaningful is a slog. but also this game is so fun LOL once you get good skills it really becomes enjoyable. current banners are also offering those skills more readily so right now is a good time to start if you can get it for cheap (steam keys go for like 5 bucks). i won't say its perfect…
