3DS Critic Reviews

If you like Dragon Ball, RPGs, quirky battle systems or monster collecting and battling games, Fusions should be a permanent resident in your 3DS collection.

Based on its turn-based combat alone, Dragon Ball Fusions distinguishes itself from other role-playing games.

Dragon Ball Fusions delivers a fresh take on one of the most heavily adapted franchises. Not only is the role-playing game unique in that it tells an all-new story, it has a fantastic battle system that has plenty of depth hidden under an easy-to-learn exterior. This is a must-own 3DS title for fans of Dragon Ball, and a good RPG that doesn't have to rely upon nostalgia as a core selling point.

It’s one of the more addictive games I’ve touched this year. The Dragon Ball fan in me loves the fact that I can fuse Frieza with Cooler, and Arale with Android 18. The RPG fan in me loves the interesting combat and addictive nature of collecting every character and super move. If you fall into either of those categories, then I have no reservations about recommending this. It’s some of the most fun I’ve had with my 3DS this year.

Forget the disappointing video game adaptations of the past, Dragon Ball has finally come of age on consoles. Dragon Ball Fusions fuses fan service with an enjoyable story and battle system to create a fresh Dragon Ball video game experience, with the only blot being the sometimes tedious energy aquisition process . If you are looking for a new and original Dragon Ball title to play on your 3DS, your wish has been granted.

Dragon Ball Fusions offers a fresh new take on Dragon Ball video games. Thanks to its fun new concept and its healthy dose of fan service, the game deserves to be on fans' (Dragon) radar.

Dragon Ball Fusions is a fun adventure in this popular franchise that gives players a new adventure to embark on with lots of cameos, fun storytelling and good (although repetitive) combat mechanics. Sure, there’s a bit of grinding when it comes to leveling up and collecting energy to access new areas but the gameplay works well on the 3DS with that enjoyable Dragon Ball humour. Best of all, the game gives something to both newcomers and fans!

Dragon Ball Fusions is really nice game: despite being a little repetitive, rather slow-paced and overall simple, it has a deep combat system that blends seamlessly strategy and sheer chaos, making it a truly fun experience. Perfect if you're a fan of the series, or if you want some strategy in your gaming sessions.

Fusions is an excellent game if you are looking for a new Dragon Ball game to play on 3DS.

To our biggest surprise, Dragon Ball Fusions could be one of the best Dragon Ball Games with over 170 fighters in the roster and countless fusions possibilities. On the other hands, the story is very dull and the farming quite tedious. You might want to give it a try if you like the DBZ IP and own a 3DS.
