Pick Bleach if

You are a dedicated Bleach fan who prioritizes easy character acquisition and quick upgrades, and you don't mind potential technical issues or a repetitive gameplay loop R2R6.

Pick DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE if

You are a Dragon Ball fan looking for a tactical gacha game with impressive animations and a rewarding grind, and you are willing to manage significant storage demands .

Evidence note: Both apps have a high number of negative recent reviews, particularly concerning gacha rates and technical issues, which contrasts with their higher lifetime ratings. The free-to-play nature of both games means much of the negativity stems from the inherent friction of gacha mechanics and resource limitations for non-paying users.

  1. [R2] Bleach 5/5 · US Best bleach game IMO: Summoning is addicting-also easy to obtain characters even when f2p with no need for endless grinding. Although, I want true bankai ichigo back in summon banners.
  2. [R3] Bleach 3/5 · US Meh (like it’s ok but idk): Ok first of all there r way too many have to download stuff and my phone running out of storage Besides it’s gets boring after playing for like 3 months
  3. [R4] Bleach 1/5 · US Review: In all honesty using ai sucks in general that’s it
  4. [R5] Bleach 4/5 · US STORY MODE AND SUB QUESTS: I wish there was a more optimized way to do story mode and subquests as there is so much of both. Maybe having an auto mode where it goes to the next one by itself and it takes twice the amount of tickets or something. Love the game but it gets tedious.
  5. [R6] Bleach 3/5 · US .: It loads endlessly, making it impossible to play. You can skip new games, but here the endless loading is also tedious gameplay, the style is also very primitive, the design would be 2d, it would be better than this cheap 3d incomprehensible, sorry, but this is my opinion, you lose to other games in these areas, but! The character cards are awesome, and all the characters can be easily and quic
  6. [R18] Bleach 3/5 · US Game’s bugging out: Game’s wigging out on an update & keeps bouncing me back to the title screen w/o installing the update. Would like to play considering Cour 4 is coming up.
  7. [R27] Bleach 3/5 · US Bro make it faster: When I join it take foreverrrrrrrrrrr to join I had to wait 42 min every time I join please fix it
  8. [R7] Bleach 1/5 · US Terrible game with skimmed rates: The fillers have higher pull rates than the featured and you get screwed over everytime you summon. Not worth your time and you’re better off playing anything else.
  9. [R16] Bleach 1/5 · US Boring: The summon rate is trash you don’t get the feature character, you have to spend a lot of orbs just to get a duplicate character you already have such a disappointment.
  10. [R19] Bleach 1/5 · US Summoning: The summons here has gone worse! Klab is being greedy once again and isn’t being fair to players.
  11. [R21] Bleach 3/5 · US Absolutely love this game: But my only issue is the pricing on the in-app purchases its absolutely insane $69,99 for only 518 Spirit Orbs?!? I can get that in a day theres absolutely no reason it should be that much if I’m paying that much i deserve bare minimum 7000 cause it’s genuinely not even useful nobody’s gonna pay that much for what you provide, you might as well not even have in-app purch
  12. [R9] Bleach 3/5 · US Feeling robbed: Been playing for a few years and every once in while I notice a character that I know I pulled (has a badge) seemingly disappears from my inventory. Now I know I’m not crazy, and for what ever reason you keep removing characters I’ve spent time and resources on. Every 5*+ character I pull gets locked and I don’t get rid of them unless it’s a dupe. You are quite literally stealing f
  13. [R10] Bleach 1/5 · US The developers are lazy and the game is no fun anymore.: I have played the game since launch, and it was once the best mobile game I’ve ever played. But sadly I think the game is no fun anymore. The game use to be fun but the developers have become extremely lazy, and have not done anything to make better changes to the game for a long time. And they have become extremely lazy with new characters.
  14. [R15] Bleach 3/5 · US Stay awya from PvP: I finally ranked up enough in PvP to get actually other players teams and now my team is doing 0 damage and dying almost instantly. There is definitely something going on. I even faced a team that has 17K power and my power was 30K, same thing. I had it in epic raids where some how the team i was on was able to insta kill the raid boss. Looks like whatever hackery there is
  15. [R28] Bleach 2/5 · US PvP: I have been playing this game since the beginning and I really enjoy playing it there’s plenty of stuff to do and grind for but what bothers me the most about this game is the PVP I have spent loads of time grinding items/character dupes to build my PvP team up but what I don’t like is that in certain matches it’s basically a forced loss meaning my character will move towards the opponent whi
  16. [R14] Bleach 4/5 · US NEEDS CONTROLLER SUPPORT: This game is dope and I play it on my ps5 as well but i wanna play my mobile account otg and controller support would make this game alot better for mobile players
  17. [R23] Bleach 5/5 · US Beautiful game!: Only thing I would want is to be able to use controller! That would be so cool🥹🤍🫀
  18. [R26] Bleach 5/5 · US Backbone support please 🙏🏽: Backbone controller support 🙏🏽
  19. [R8] Bleach 4/5 · US great game: overall i would say the game is great even for free to play. the only things i don’t like are the assists in bosses and the amount of exp things i can get in the soul tree bonanza
  20. [R48] Bleach 3/5 · GB Honest Veteran Player: I've been playing this game since the very beginning of BBS. Klab nowadays is struggling to provide the balance for f2p playerbase, we lost so many way to obtain orbs after playing this game for few years and there's only little new orbs for veteran players like me. The focus of developing this game seems to shifted by klab to mainly only focusing on contributing to the guil
  21. [R58] Bleach 1/5 · US Greedy.: Yes it’s very F2P friendly in the beginning but they consistently insist on nerfing resources and farms, and they’re getting greedier and greedier by the days.
  22. [R29] Bleach 5/5 · US Controller support plz: I love this game been playing for years but please add controller support
  23. [R40] Bleach 1/5 · US Does not save data: This game does not save your data when you delete it. I deleted this game because it took up too much storage and I re downloaded it hoping to play again and nothing saved. I had so much stuff on my account.
  24. [R62] DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE 5/5 · US As a veteran of the game: As a veteran of the game I’ve been playing for years I’m currently 18 an turning 19 this week I love this game to the point my videos become viral all bc of yall man I love this game here’s to the 60th anniversary of Dokkan but plss lower yall storage bc I have to keep deleting all my stuff for this game that how much I love this game
  25. [R63] DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE 3/5 · US Good: Pretty good, not sure why it's 30Gbs but whatever I guess.
