  1. [R1] DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE 1/5 · US Current game meta and difficulty decisions are genuinely unfun and ruining the game: As title says even new units struggle to compete in this dodge or die meta, it’s so fun slowly chipping away at the first few phases of a stage only to get one shot by a normal in the second to last phase because your dedicated dodge units decide to eat as much damage as possible wasting 20-30 minutes of monotony
  2. [R18] DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE 3/5 · GB The beauty of Gacha: So, let me start by saying I’ve probably been playing this game for probably over a decade… I like most of it, the animations have recently been fantastic, reminiscent of the different sagas the characters have come from, but the recent content is, as I am not surprised, tailored towards the newest releases. And not just like the releases from maybe a couple of months ago, but

  8. [R12] DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE 3/5 · US Love it but takes so much space: I've had this game since like 2020 and ive always thought it was pretty cool, but it takes up SO MUCH STORAGE its insane. last time i checked it took up 25 GIGABYTES OF STORAGE
  9. [R9] DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE 3/5 · US Lost Account: Been playing this games since it came out in 2015,moved countries and still playing the game I stopped playing it about a year ago. The Facebook link got eliminated so I re-downloaded it today and could not get my account back,lost hundreds of characters,Hours spent grinding,lost money that I’ve spent on Dragon stones!! All gone just like that!
  10. [R24] DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE 3/5 · GB Good game but certain bugs make it not worth while downloading.: I’ve been a Dokkan player for years now, I loved the game until I got a new phone and when I tried to transfer my data from my Facebook account it keeps saying invalid id making all the progress I’ve made up until now mean nothing.
  11. [R37] DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE 1/5 · US Doesn’t care for long term customers: Iv been playing the game for about 11 years. Redownloaded the game after having to delete it and redownload it for space. I selected to download the linked data. But after I selected it, I was told my game info was deleted from the device. I sent a request with every little detail needed except for my player id but was declined. I spent 30 minutes filling out
  12. [R58] DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE 1/5 · US No help: Had everything linked got rid off the game for about 2 months came back for goku and beerus and now everything is gone but some how I’m still logged in the web store but in game I have to start over I email them for help and somehow they can’t prove it even with proof it’s me I’ve played this game for years and now everything’s gone and they won’t help
  13. [R4] DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE 1/5 · US Summon: Horrible summoning
  14. [R7] DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE 1/5 · US You have to be rich.: This is a great game. But the transactions are terrible. If you font have a lot of money you will never get the units needed to progress. All the good units take $400 or more just to get your first one. That’s not even to get the next four to rainbow. I have been playing for years on and off but I am tapped out. Tired of spending money on a game and not reaping the rewards be
  15. [R10] DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE 1/5 · US Garbage release, Horrible Dev: Horrible producer and managed to fumble my favorite character. Coupled with the atrocious banner rates and dog water content. Not pulling a single unit over the course of three banners and then having the nerve to add frontier mode.
  16. [R13] DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE 2/5 · US Downgrade: Even after spending money (250) failing to pull 7 banners units that limited time missions required is a foolhardy way to make players quit. Coupled with weak EZA’s and minuscule amounts of resources to even SA level characters is turning me off from this once loved game. Hope the devs learn to treat players a little better someday, but it’s not this year
  17. [R19] DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE 1/5 · US Fix your game: Why the hell is the game 20 gigabytes if it’s animations on of 2d characters. I would play if you lowered the storage
  18. [R25] DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE 1/5 · US Too much space: I can no longer even download the game because my iPhone doesn’t have enough storage even if I deleted absolutely everything I would still not have enough storage I spent allot of money on this game in the past and it’s so frustrating not being able to play anymore after years knowing I also missed plenty of new realeses and dragon stone rewards that come along with y’all’s new cha
  19. [R74] Skullgirls 5/5 · US give it a try: honestly one of the best games i’ve ever played. there are bugs, obviously, but they get fixed pretty quickly and it’s never anything super game breaking. i love the new pith system, and the fact that you don’t have to make purchases to have a comparable experience. the art style is gorgeous, the characters are fun, there’s new skins all the time. the biggest appeal to me personally
  20. [R81] Skullgirls 3/5 · US Great game but far from perfect: Awesome mobile fighting game and fairly good fighting game in general. The palette swaps are cool and they come with cool effects, pretty fair gacha system especially with the new (may 2026) update. My only and main critique are the inputs: they don’t work half of the time. At first I thought it was me or possibly my phone but I’ve been playing for a year now a
  21. [R109] Skullgirls 1/5 · US One of the worst games I have played: The game is p2w. Why do I say it? Because from the beginning right after the tutorial you immediately get shoved into face with a lot of different packs, every login, every action you do you are shoved a pack into face. What about the gameplay? Cleanly controls, dumb gameplay mechanics, no possibility to break opponents streaks, and pumping the AI bots with ri
  22. [R66] Skullgirls 3/5 · US Skull girls: It has too many bugs tbh but it's a really fun game overall
  23. [R69] Skullgirls 3/5 · US Great game but…: It’s a really great game it’s just that it’s always glitching and lagging and everything time I try to go upgrade my players stats it doesn’t show me a leave button and then I have to restart the game and lose all my progress it’s a great game
  24. [R70] Skullgirls 1/5 · US Errors: Laggy garbage, nothing but bugs and errors. · translated
  25. [R71] Skullgirls 4/5 · US OP, but...: Why does the game have more bugs than players? The new maps look like they were made by AI... BRING BACK THE OLD ARTIST!!! · translated
