Latest update · v6.25.0

What the developer says changed (the verdict above weighs this against what reviewers report):

【Issues Fixed】 - Fixed various bugs

Recurring themes

Gacha & Summons negative
Users consistently complain about extremely low pull rates for new and powerful characters, making it difficult to acquire desired units even after spending significant amounts of Chrono Crystals or real money. Many feel 'shafted' and that the system is a 'money trap'.R1R7R21R43
PvP Experience negative
PvP is a major source of frustration due to pay-to-win dynamics where players with the newest, maxed-out characters dominate. There are also frequent reports of lag, disconnections, and crashes during matches, often resulting in unfair losses. Some users also report encountering cheaters.R3R9R14R22
Crashes & Bugs negative
Despite developer notes claiming 'various bugs' fixed, many recent reviews report persistent issues with the game crashing randomly, especially during PvP matches, and communication errors preventing login. This directly contradicts the developer's update notes.R3R52R56R64
Free-to-Play Experience negative
Free-to-play (F2P) players find it extremely difficult to keep up with the meta, acquire new units, or compete effectively in PvP due to limited free Chrono Crystals and low pull rates. Many feel forced to spend money to progress.R9R20R27R33
Game Enjoyment mixed
While many players express love for the game's core mechanics, graphics, and Dragon Ball theme, the frustrations with gacha, PvP, and technical issues often overshadow the positive aspects, leading to a mixed overall sentiment.R5R6R8R10

Who it's for

This game is for dedicated Dragon Ball fans who enjoy fighting games and are willing to either invest significant time grinding or spend money on in-app purchases R9R15R59. It is NOT for players who are easily frustrated by low gacha rates, a pay-to-win environment, frequent technical issues like crashes and lag, or those who prefer a purely free-to-play experience R43R67.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew significantly negative, which contrasts with the high lifetime rating. This suggests a recent decline in user satisfaction, possibly due to changes in gacha rates, new overpowered characters, or increased technical issues. The evidence for positive aspects is present but less detailed in recent reviews compared to the extensive negative feedback.

  2. [R10] 5/5 · US BEST FREE GAME I'VE DOWNLOADED: Really cool graphics are great and I love PvP mode
  3. [R34] 5/5 · US Game mechanics: The game is amazing!because of the mechanics and I love the characters and the PvP system and the story and events make it really fun!
  4. [R54] 5/5 · US best game oat: tani i love you this is the best game oat i appreciate you and the great models, mechanics, events, updates, and gacha system. you are the kindest dev ever and i thank you and all the good luck you give me on my summons i hope you guide us through 8 more years of dbl i spent $16 on ts btw ❤️‍🩹🥹✌️
  5. [R9] 1/5 · US Hate pvp: Bru this game is great if ur a dragon ball fan but PvP is so annoying. PvP is filled with pay to win players that have maxed out everything that u can only get by either grinding the game for 20hrs a day or spending $100 to get. All the PvP kids just infinite combo u so u can’t move or do any attacks until they kill u and your whole team. PvP needs to have some kind of cool down on combo
  6. [R15] 5/5 · US The best game ever: So I’ve been playing this game for about 4 years but I’ve lost all my other accounts but still it’s nice not being so over powered but ya I would recommend this for anyone that loves a fighting game with a little bit of gambling
  7. [R59] 5/5 · US Very very very good game: I love this game as a new Dragon ball fan and I don't know a lot of characters or about them but this game got me to know a lot of characters so now I understand who these people are and it kinda helps me see how th characters fight there I a lot more I can add more goo thing but that's all I will give right now.
  8. [R121] 3/5 · US It’s Okay But…: The game itself is Great! The storyline is Nice, The Art is Amazing, Combat System is easy to Understand and Use, Plenty of Units to summon as well. Only problem we have here is PvP. Once you hit around platinum rank they start putting you up against people completely out of your league with all the newest units and best equipment they can possibly use. You can’t pick your own oppo
  9. [R8] 3/5 · US Fun game: I had 10,000 gems and when I was about to buy something it let me back to the start and I’m sad. But I like the game and I think it’s super fun. It’s happened three times and I’m getting mad but that’s OK. Because the whole game is fun.
  10. [R26] 5/5 · US .: Really fun game!
  11. [R199] 3/5 · US Fun but Pay to Win: love this game, super fun and addicting. Gets boring and repetitive after a while due to same theme and missions, its hard as a Free to play to earn crystals for summons takes forever and the drop rates suck so you’re almost forced to spend money for new characters which they charge $8 for 1000 crystals which is only 1 summon and half they time your not even getting sparking or
  12. [R1] 1/5 · US Hate this game: I spend so much time grinding chrono crystals just to get shafted
  13. [R7] 5/5 · US This game is amazing!!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩: This game is shafting me so hard cause every time I summon, I get shafted or trash and i see people on YouTube get the newest units so easily and why does the drop chances so high like make them 250 to get a copy, also, make the summoning prices 100 cc on anniversary or new years days and stop realesing banners that drain our cc and one final thing is to make regular
  14. [R21] 1/5 · US Summoning: Saved up 24,000 chrono used all of it on new banner didn’t receive new character saved up that chrono for months it’s bs
  15. [R43] 3/5 · US Dragon Ball legends is frustrating: I don’t know how to express how much this game frustrates me if you’re easily manipulated and to spending your money on Games wouldn’t suggest downloading it or if you’re easily frustrated do not download this game. I warn you it is the biggest money trap. I have dumped so much money barely got what I wanted. I probably dumped $8000 into this barely got what I w
  16. [R23] 1/5 · US Better games to play: Story is cool, gameplay is either with you or against you and content is very bland. Input isn’t responsive 90% of the time and online is god awful. Just stick to playing this game during hype events and don’t bother with the garbage, unfair, pay to win, PvP mode. FIX INPUT LAG
  17. [R33] 1/5 · US Worst game ever: This was the worst game I have ever played not only can free to play players not get anything from many rotations on a banner but if u don’t have good units u just get cooked in pvp
  18. [R37] 1/5 · US To op character: Game as no sense in keeping the characters level, new units are always over powered and if u don’t have it, your not gonna be able to do anything. Good luck on pvp and good luck on events
  19. [R3] 4/5 · US The optimization: Dear Tami, I have an IPhone 12 Pro and have never EVER faced this issue in the past. During PVP sessions I randomly get booted out the game. My phone doesn’t overheat, I don’t lag I simply just get kicked and have to suffer with the unfair repercussions. It’s not only me, other people have been facing this issue too, and worst of all, it was in treasure battle. Ever since the 7th
  20. [R14] 2/5 · US Hate this game: Too much lag in pvp and people leave all the time and legends blamed me for it so that is why I gave it a 2 stars
  21. [R77] 3/5 · US Idk: The game is good and all and it might be a phone issue but every day it happens like 2 times when I’m in a pvp or story it randomly exits out of the app and when I’m in a pvp and especially when I’m winning I go back into it and it counts as a loss
  22. [R79] 2/5 · US Crashing: This game keep crush on me no matter what I don’t know why. I’m on iPhone 12 it runs well but for some reason, it keeps crashing on me even when it’s not even lagging it just keeps crashing It’s just because why not. Most of the time whenever I’m playing ranked match it just crashes for no reason when I’m winning or losing. Even summoning, which is weird.
  23. [R39] 2/5 · US please make the game better for F2P players.: i have been playing this game since early 2019. i haven’t spent a single cent on this game and let me tell you, it’s impossible to keep up with PVP. I spend weeks grinding chrono crystals just to get shafted multiple times. when the new legend broly came out, i wanted him SO BAD. i went four rotations without getting him and i honestly just gave up. sa
  24. [R46] 4/5 · US Why do I keep getting shafted: I love this game, I really do, but when it comes to the gacha system, I can’t get any of the new characters, this ani was the ani that I spent the most amount of cc in the game, the game makes it nice and easy to get cc just never a good way to spend it
  25. [R88] 1/5 · US Th game is payed to win and has horrible power creep: The game is fun but makes it hard to enjoy when ever time a new character comes out and is the best character and makes it impossible to enjoy the game if you don’t have them also that after playing the game for a while it is impossible to get enough to summon unless there is a big event happening
  26. [R28] 1/5 · US Lost data: I logged into the game today. I had been playing for almost 3 years. All of my characters, gems, summons. Gone. My account is level 1. Everything I had grinded for is lost. Contacted support: No response. Huge L
  27. [R45] 3/5 · US Crystals: Give me back my crystal you scammer
  28. [R50] 3/5 · US Data Transfer: Having to wait 24hrs to data transfer the correct account bc I have one for me and one for my brother is stupid...I WANT TO PLAY THE DAMN GAME ON MY ACCOUNT TODAY NOT TOMORRW
  29. [R22] 2/5 · US Pull rates being terrible: I had 4k cc for what blue skies jaco car rainbow text and got a lf that nobody wants and many people get first try and me not getting at all I’m quitting dbl and then every time I go to pvp my game lags bye dbl im never playing again ps your game needs better events
  30. [R25] 1/5 · US Cheater ball legends: Player named goku using the new broly god goku and ssj2 gohan is using hacks to win it was so impossible to play and it was constantly lagging and only helping them because they’re using cheats deserves a permanent ban from legends. New cheater by the name of RK using lag switch to win since they was getting destroyed the entire match deserves a permanent ban from legends.
  31. [R51] 4/5 · US Good game but laggy n buggy sometimes: It a fun game to play but sometime it get laggy or buggy on certain things n its like crashes out here n thier but other then that its cool to play when u bored most times
  32. [R52] 1/5 · US Unplayable: After this update, I can’t even play the game anymore, because when I try to load it up, it constantly says there was a communication error, and I have good internet too
  33. [R56] 3/5 · US Can’t even log in: I’ve been playing this game for years and right now for the last 45 minutes, I’ve been trying to log in and it didn’t let me I kept being in a black screen and it kept repeating “connection lost error code” over and over and over and over again for 25 mi hues straight. I even uninstalled and redownloaded to see if that would fix it, no it did not, and I had 5k cc so if I miracul
  34. [R64] 1/5 · US Broo: So annoying every time my game crashes after a pvp match summons it’s so annoying
  35. [R20] 1/5 · US Legends next time give me the new tag ultra: I hate legends cause once you play it it’s fun but once your done your just gonna loose all your money trying to get the new characters and I think that when you play legends and get everything it’d just really e really boring and some random people can’t beat you and that why I hate legends.
  36. [R27] 4/5 · US Interesting game: Ive been playing this game for almost 3 years and i must say that in order to do good in pvp and survive you need to get the new characters and how do you get the new character? Gamble. 0.350% chance for ultra rarity 0.500 for LEGEND rarity and theres pity for the characters on release but you need 45 summons which each is 1K in game currency which is very difficult if you dont s
  37. [R5] 5/5 · US Me: W game I have been playing since 2022 rip dbz
  38. [R67] 1/5 · US Don't waste your time: this game puts you up against people with bad internet to the point you can't play it online. The game became way to pay to win for no reason other than they are money driven. Characters are getting so broken to the point of you don’t have the newest one you won’t stand a chance in pvp and they don’t give out enough crystals to get the characters unless you spend money. Plus
  39. [R85] 2/5 · US Why does this game have to favor pay to win?: I hate it that I as a free to play player is struggling to reach rank 70, and I hate it that each time I’m trying to do ranked matches I am forced to go against people that just have their team just maxed out while I’m struggling over here
  40. [R96] 1/5 · US Disconnect issue: Ranked disconnects 70% of the time. Ive been on the win screen, disconnect, and the battle results in a loss. Im not sure why this keeps happening
