    On sale for 6 bucks? Sure. Get it if you are a big dragon ball fan and are not a completionist. I don't recommend it in general though. The QTE clash mechanic is cool right up until they require you to beat out cpus who randomly perfect the QTE with your own bar moving stupid fast. If you mess up even once, regardless of whether you win the battle or not, you have entire paths blocked off to you. Getting …

    Definitely a game to get when 90% off. If you like card collecting, that's the main thing this game has for you. The actual game is a little awkward. Its a port of a giant super specialized arcade cabinet into a PC game, so some mechanisms really dont translate and are awkward, but what ev.

    This game is fun, for the right person. For me, it's loads of fun. I like gachas, I like goofy weird games, I like what-if scenarios, I like goofy versions of characters that don't exist. If you get it for 5.99, it's beyond worth it. If you pay full price for it, for most people, it probably won't be near worth it. This is at most a 15.99 game.

    This game emulates the arcade pretty much perfectly. Over 300 Characters on over 1000 Cards, ridiculous concepts such as SSJ4 Broly, Cell X, Kid Buu (Demon Lord Dabura absorbed), Vegeks (Vegeta + Trunks) and sooooo many more. The game is simply a blast to play, no matter how long you play it; for short sessions or long-plays. The game looks, sounds and plays like it would in an actual arcade, for those of you who …

    Man this game is so fun, it has a gacha system and it's great, no microtranactions but the fun of getting random characters to build a deck just without needing to spend money to do so. Really my only complaint is that the new DBH content isn't there that being said there's already a lot here. Edit: Buy it on sale it gets real cheap on sale.

    SUPER DRAGON BALL HEROES WORLD MISSION offers a distinctly different interpretation of the Dragon Ball universe by replacing traditional real-time fighting with an elaborate collectible card battle system. Developed by Dimps Corporation and SAFARI GAMES Co., Ltd. and published by BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment, it is designed primarily for players who enjoy collecting characters, constructing specialized teams, and learning interconnected combat mechanics. Instead of relying entirely on reflexes…

    Super Dragon Ball Heroes World Mission is a game with an interesting concept, but it’s very hard to recommend at its full price. The gameplay revolves around card-based battles, which can be fun at first and has some depth if you’re willing to learn the systems. There’s a lot of cards and team combinations to experiment with, which gives it some replay value. However, the overall experience doesn’t feel like it justifies a $60 price tag at all. For what the game offers, it feels overpriced,…

    This is based on an arcade game where you physically place and slide cards on a large tablet. Novel for sure, but what I did not expect was that each action you take is a timing or movement based minigame of sorts. The ones that do not use buttons can be done with the mouse, left analog stick or a touch screen but none seem right to me as they are all surprisingly easy. These minigames and unskippable action scenes really drag each match down and I found them completely irritating and more…

If you like db you will enjoy seeing all the dif characters this game has, there are some odd ones. But also cool ones that are not traditionally in anything mainstream db.

    You have to have a certain level of masochism to put up with the constant repetition of drawn out combat animations and brain dead QTEs, but the actual deck building mechanics are quite fun. It doesn't have much in common mechanically with traditional, physical trading card games which lends itself to a very different mindset. There's no drawing cards from a deck during the match and instead all of your units are on the field at once, so 75% of a match is how you've built your deck from the…

    I love Dragonball and the dragonball fanservice is the best part of this game, but the actual gameplay is a slog, you'll spend most of your time timing a bar minigame, sometimes 3 times per combat round, i was making teams with a single type of unit JUST to to avoid having to do that stupid minigame as much as possible and eventually loathed to keep going, this was after only 2 hours. the gambling aspect is okay, but once you get your team there's little point except to get some good cards…

    This is kinda decent if you get it on sale. I don't like the timing mini game for basic attacks. I also wish it got a few more updates, the model upgrades from the last few SDBH arcade machine updates are so good. Not a fan of the missions where you're forced to use decks you didn't create. So many cards in this game, let me experiment myself You should be able to replace Beat with one of the other avatar characters and the story should change to reflect that choice.

Even beyond it just stopping to function for no apparent reason, the gameplay loop is incredibly boring and even infuriating at times due to the game itself cheating and…

    This is a strategy game in the same way that my balls are: it's not. In real card games, decks are shuffled. The "cards" in this "game" are shuffled as often as my balls: they're not. You might be wondering why I put "game" in quotation marks - that's b/c the "game" experience is watching a quick time event, clicking at the right time, and reading. It's a visual novel, a really bad one, with QTE's. Not a game. You might be wondering why my balls are the first thing that comes to mind to…

    Love the game, though its not like any DB game you have played. It is a port of an card/arcade game that has been in Japan for over a decade before its release. Its more strategy than skill. The only real skill you require is timing (for that little red button). 9/10 for what it is. Multiplayer is basically dead no matter where you go (here and on switch) but its still a fun/great game to play solo or with friends! You also gotta go watch the promotional anime!

    There are a lot of cards and ways to build a good strategy. Many cards can counter other cards which is fair and fun. Story mode is good so far. You can spend a good amount of time into this game. It's also really cool that the cards you get in this game should be transferred to Dragon Ball Super Divers then.

    Honestly a great arcade game that was ported to PC, Unfortunately due to either a lack of support or promotion, the game did not do very well in its western release and is only updated in the JP side. Such a shame but I think with updates and frequent promotions this game could have done superbly well especially for fans who want to play it at home and not travel all the way to Japan to do so on their arcade machines.

    Too much reading and micromanagement of cards despite that they, simply, either add or subtract power depending on circumstances. Battles are played out by slapping a button at a rapidly rising / descending scale (similar to many Golf titles) to try and stop the marker as far up the scale as you can and higher than your opponents'. Success results in successful attacks / blocks. There are some contextual swirly do's and tip-taps you will be alerted to perform with your game pad, during some…

    Decent enough for a nearly 4 years old western pc port of an japanese arcade card game. The game doesn't look nearly as good as today's arcade game since this game was already complete on release and doesn't get regular updates/tcg set releases like the original Japanese arcade game. Still a really nice and fun experience. And hey, they didn't make it P2W :D (Online PvP is dead (obviously).

    Honestly, the Japanese locale files are still in the game, and they've left Japanese as an option during the terms' agreement at the start of the game. It's totally nonsensical to have deliberately removed the Japanese text option from the in-game menu! Is this some particular kind of mockery I am not aware of? What reason/gain is there, to make the original Japanese text unavailable?! Having played the previous titles in their Japanese versions, the current game is complete gibberish to me...
