Dragon Ball Legends

Mechanics

Dragon Ball Legends allows the players to control characters known from the manga as well as anime and fight people all over the world – it is worth mentioning that one can control four heroes at a time, between which he or she can easily switch during a battle.

The game delivers simple and intuitive controls – all you need is one finger. In order to attack, simply tap any area of the screen. When moving, swipe the screen in the direction you want – when performed at the right moment, this results in a successful dodge. Special techniques can be implemented by tapping cards located at the bottom of the screen. After a special ability is used, it is instantly replaced with a new card. One has to that in order to perform the aforementioned manoeuvres, he or she requires the KI energy – it can be generated by holding a finger at the right spot. Cards can be divided into different categories (including melee attacks, ranged attacks, special attacks, and ultimate attacks) adding a tactical depth to the game. Players can acquire more cards as they progress. Occasionally, there also are QTE sequences – it happens when both fighters attack at the same time.

The last important element of the game includes the so-called Rising Rush techniques – incredibly powerful attacks with special animated sequences. Players can activate them during battles by selecting particular cards after they load. The opponent has a similar option, and if he activates this technique at the same moment as the player he manages to survive with a small portion of life points. Otherwise, the player wins. No matter what the result is, after activating a Rising Rush technique, the player loses all remaining cards.

Game modes

Dragon Ball Legends features both an extensive single-player campaign and a full-fledged PvP mode, in which one can fight players from all over the world.
