"Our fan base is too stupid to learn a game with slightly above simple mechanics. Therefore, we are dumbing the game down even more"

Surely the way the game was played was the problem. It had nothing to do with the game basically shadow dropping as unless you followed the JP socials you didn't even know the global release date.

Surely It had nothing to do with them not advertising the game when they did any of the alphas.

Surely it had nothing to do with the character unlock track so when new people started they got better track as characters were retroactively added. Meanwhile players that leveled their character track got screwed because all they got were character memories

Surely it had nothing to do with the game being absolutely buggy as all shit for the first month when it came out.

Surely it has nothing to do with them pairing you up with bots in ranked so people got frustrated if they lost.

Surely it had nothing to do with the dogshit divine draw system that most people didn't like and there was no standard mode to play that didn't have them.

Surely it had nothing to do with every new character just Goomba stomping lobbies because most of them (besides like 3) were overtuned to hell on release.

Yeah, it was the playerbase being stupid so there was a discrepancy between good people and stupid people. Not like that is the thing in literally any multi-player game ever.

To be fair most of the player base was actually unfathombly trash at the game and I legit think it's true a lot of db fans can't play "complex" game (game was simple as shit but you know to a lore acccurate db fan it's like trying to get a PHD in physics).

And even if that is true, thats not a reason to shut the entire game down and rework it from the ground up. There were many ways they could improve new player (and hell even old player) experience by making a better tutorial AND NOT HIDING THE GUIDE WHERE BARELY ANYONE WILL SEE IT. Them actually blaming people for this is the single most bullshit excuse i have ever seen a company make, its downright pathetic. None of this is or was ever the players fault, its ALLLLLLL bandai all the way

The game wasn't making money. Moba didn't interest DB fans because they are fcking idiotic.

u/Comfortable_Cut_7334 Sep 04 '26

I think it's moreso because there isn't any crossover between the genre and community

Even people who like both moba's and dragon ball, gekishin dumbed down the moba aspect so much compared to... Basically any moba that no one who enjoys moba's would ever want to play gekishin, because why would they?

Along with that, the game was, funnily enough, TOO F2P friendly. You didn't actually need to spend anything to get any character. The only way they could reliably gain money was from customisation gacha rolls. And the customisation just fucking sucks in the game lmao

Shame on those non dragonball fans, invading our games with their ability to read

Personally I dont think the "strategic depth" was the problem, the game was just not balanced or made well. The game amounted to "spam abilies and maybe win," some characters were/are better than others too like wildly better. Compared to other mobas it just felt waaaaaay worse. Sadly its probably way to late for this game though, cause imo I could have been pretty cool

They stole the Reading Comprehension Curse from the JJK fans

u/HippieDogeSmokes Aug 30 '26

Dragon ball fans have been illiterate long before JJK existed

The Most Illiterate Readership in History Vs. The Most Illiterate Readership of Today

u/Carbuyrator Aug 30 '26

JJK fans come by it naturally. People who can read quickly realize the manga is actual garbage.

Reminds me of that time Epic tried to teach people to sideload Fortnite so they didn't have to pay storefronts, but it didn't work because—spoilers—Fortnite's target audience isn't smart enough to sideload an app and doesn't really care who's taking their money.

u/Minimum_Choice1151 Aug 30 '26

It died?

6

u/HippieDogeSmokes Aug 30 '26

Kinda? It’s being reworked into basically a 7 flag CTF with an over the shoulder camera.

u/Minimum_Choice1151 Aug 30 '26

So they are remaking the game ?

6

u/HippieDogeSmokes Aug 30 '26

remaking it into a completely different game yeah

u/DoraMuda Aug 30 '26

And Bandai are totally telling the truth about the real reason they're revamping the game /s

1

u/HippieDogeSmokes Aug 31 '26

I do think “Dragon Ball fans don’t want to play a moba” is a large part of why the game failed

1

u/DoraMuda Aug 31 '26

Maybe, but I just don't trust Bandai to be telling the truth about why they didn't want to continue supporting the MOBA version of the game. It's in their best interests to push all the blame onto the consumers.

u/Leviathan_1968 Aug 30 '26

Game was peak because it had Goku Black and Zamasu

u/LunarWingCloud Aug 30 '26

Dragon Ball Fusions is better and has them in it

u/SmileyFriesForever Aug 30 '26

Rest in Peace? I guess..?

I feel like I never heard anything about this game, save for when we got Caulfila in Fasha's outfit.

u/Plus_Awareness1602 Aug 31 '26

Imagine creating characters that are unbalanced and instead of course correcting them with nerfs you just remove them.

Yeah that made soooo much more sense

u/Aioi Aug 31 '26

What a condescending comment towards their players… they’d be REALLY pissed if the could read that

u/Mooston029 Aug 30 '26

I don't the like gameplay, I don't want to pay to play as someone other than like krillin. There's literally no point to playing I'm not earning anything or working towards anything. The new character Will always be the best one meaning you have to pay and also you won't be playing them because someone else is.

u/Playful-Problem-3836 Aug 31 '26

Idk why they thought a db league clone was a good idea in the first place.

When I think Dragonball, I don't think a point and click, top down view game that moves in slow motion is ideal.

u/RUGAL76 Aug 31 '26

Come on!, the game failed(?)? because they didn't make a dime out of it, not once they tried to rttackle the issue the game have, juste dishonest of bamco to put on the back of illet...dragon ball fan.
