According to its official website, the game will be playable on Google Play, The App Store, and Steam. Along with Dragon Ball Project: Multi’s reveal, the company also announced its regional beta test, which will last from August 20 to September 3.
Like any MOBA, Dragon Ball Project: Multi will require players to conquer enemy objectives by organizing a well-rounded team comprised of tanks, support, and damage characters. The game will also offer customization options, allowing players to swap skins, entrance, and finisher animations. Because Dragon Ball Project: Ulti is mainly geared toward online matches, players will be required to have an internet connection to play.
Dragon Ball fans appear to be in a bit of a renaissance with the imminent return of the Budokai series in Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero. In our preview, we lauded the game for its battles feeling like they were lifted right out of the anime, saying, “Even after just a dozen or so matches against the CPU, it became clear to me that Dragon Ball superfans who are exceptionally good at fighting games – or those who intend to practice a lot with Sparking Zero – are going to find themselves having a great time crushing their competition.”
Seeing as how we’re roughly nine weeks away from Sparking! Zero’s release on October 11, Dragon Ball Project: Multi has the latent potential to be a refreshing new game for players to test their Z-fighter battle senses.
