  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. [R29] DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE 5/5 · US Best Dragon ball game: Very tactical and great animations, I love the link skill abilities and category system.
  3. [R32] DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE 5/5 · US Goated Game: This game is so fun to play and the special moves characters can do are amazing to watch.
  4. [R46] DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE 1/5 · US No fun: This game has no difficulty scaling. Everything is either way too easy or way too hard. None of it is fun.
  5. [R4] DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE 1/5 · US Summon: Horrible summoning
  6. [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
  7. [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.
  8. [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
  9. [R2] 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

  13. [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!
  14. [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.
  15. [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
  16. [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
  17. [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
  18. [R28] DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE 1/5 · US Embarrassing: horrible rates and embarrassing with Frontier’s introduction… Trying too hard to make cq content without build-variety.
  19. [R49] DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE 5/5 · US Great brain exercise tbh: Love this game and its animations! It requires a lot of strategy and grinding but it feels so rewarding when you get the unit you want, been playing for 11 years and still going, love you geppy and omatsu!
  20. [R60] DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE 1/5 · US Thanks for making my summons terrible.: Why do I consistently have to struggle to get new units and spend money just to NOT get them? These rates are worse than Dragon Ball Legends and I’m convinced the percentages actually do end up lying.
  21. [R66] DRAGON BALL LEGENDS 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
  22. [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
