DRAGON BALL GEKISHIN SQUADRA

As someone who has tried several MOBAs over the years, some of them multiple times, and never managed to get hooked the way many others have, this is the one that got me. Compared to most MOBAs, Gekishin strips back the mechanical complexity, in favor of a much more streamlined and easy to learn match format that doesn't bombard you upfront. The game isn't perfect. Matchmaking can be slow, ping is frankly horrendous in Australia, and the content choices on a per-season basis are bizarre at times. Basic cosmetic items for the base-game roster will just not be available in the gacha system for an undisclosed period of time (Kale's items have been gone from the game for 6+ months now), and a lot of the game's new content is paywalled, with very few sales to coincide with new drops to promote purchasing, and this stuff doesn't come cheap. Luckily, everything except the new heroes are completely inconsequential. But still, worth noting. Having said all that, this is still my go-to MOBA. I've been playing since launch, and I have no intention of stopping at this point in time. And seeing how long Bandai has supported Breakers of all things, Gekishin looks to be a worthwhile time investment. (Also this runs great on SteamDeck, which is where a lot of my hours have come from)
