First: Nerf broly jfc.
Honest review after about a week, and having played similar games. Its like league of legends mixed with dbz fighting. Its a 4v4, with 4 skills and a short cool down dashing ability. 2 dps, 1 technical, 1 "tank". Its very fast paced, and matches never go beyond 15 minutes, typically 7-10 minutes. Its fun. Theres a lot of characters to pick from. You move with wasd, and use your mouse clicks/ direction along with shift to create combos and use skills. Decent learning curve, since there is a LOT to take in tbh with all the charactrers, and their melee difference. Yeah in league you usually got generic attack and range attack, with some differences. Here, the range of melee attack and range basic attacks differentiate the playstyle of each character. And, in a lot of ways defining which character you end up liking. Warcraft 3 vets would do very well in this game, considering the body blocking techs. Nerf broly.
They allow you to unlock characters for free as you go with a limited selection that grows, and they have rotations every few days it looks like (in my time theres been 3 rotations so .. like 2-3 days) . Getting gems to unlock a character you want is extremely rare from my experience, so unlocks happen as you basically play the game. Cant complain, ive played everyone i wanted to so far, and im constantly suprised theres a new character i havent seen yet. I think they do that intentionally.
My complaints: The map and floor is like were playing in a digital world, which is super weird but ig its their way of getting around "realism" of death in video games. But it makes the map incredibly confusing to navigate, i find myself flying into walls way too often. And Broly. Nerf broly jfc its not fun playing against him.
The balance is hard to discern when you're bad at the game like me, but the gameplay is unique. There's no chat, so communication is limited to emotes and limited pings. The damage is difficult to assess. Theres numbers, but they're small and impossible to read in the heat of the battle especiallly when the melee in the game is super fast, 0.1s hit attack speed generally. Theres a lot of unique and character defining skills. THe movement is pretty smooth but theres some slowness in melee that can make you feel extremely desperate, but also astonished when someone else makes it look easy. Looking at you gohan and Krillin mains. But also, nerf broly.
I'm going to end this the same way i started. Its a fun game, but By the love of god you need to nerf Broly. Hes the only character i do not have fun playing with or against. I understand its broly, but jfc and the lord above you need to balance and regulate this man. Getting 1 shot is not fun. It's not fun having to spam everything, knowing you will only do 30% of his hp, while he stacks his scoreboard with another double kill. It's the worst part of this game, and I always end up inting those games or surrendering. Puck broly, and puck the balance team. NERF. BROLY!
