Dragon Ball Online: The MMO based on the cult classic anime!
Dragon Ball Online is an MMORPG developed by the South Korean NTL along with Japanese staff, and it was in 2010. DBO takes place on Earth and its timeline is at the end of the Dragonball manga.
Many elements from this game are used in Dragon Ball Xenoverse and its sequel, as well as Dragon Ball Heroes. In 2019 it gained a successor in the form of Dragon Ball Time and Space Legend.
The graphics have the style of legendary mangaka, Akira Toriyama, all over. It is a classic anime-style RPG with smooth 3D Cel-shaded character models and a cartoon-like environment that will amaze Dragon Ball fans because you can find famous locations in the dragon ball universe. You can visit Capsule Corporation, Kamesennin’s house Papaya Island and many more. The mobs and NPCs will be familiar if you ever played Dragon Quest, which was one of Akira Toriyama’s biggest video game designs.
Unfortunately, the music is not the same as in the anime, but they tried to match the mood of the location with the tunes. DBO music is nothing special. It could have been better known the fact that the Dragon Ball franchise is very famous for its incredible soundtrack.
Akira Toriyama had a great deal of creative control over the project, both contributing to and having complete supervision of the story and art design, including character and location arrangements; every single thing in the game from the usable in-game techniques to story elements had to be checked by Akira Toriyama, and if consent was given from him were then allowed to be placed in the game.
In DBO you can choose from three different races with seven race-locked classes. The playable races are Humans, Namekians, and Majins. Each has its own unique look and skills. There is a healing class, fighter classes with different art of skillset, and mage classes too. As with other MMOs, you explore the landscape, defeat monsters, search for the Dragon Balls, train to compete in the World Martial Arts Tournament, and progress and grow strong while interacting with other players or NPCs. There is currency, XP to level up and obtain items and new abilities. An interesting fact is that you are starting as a child character and later you can grow adult when you visit Karin’s tower. You can do everything that characters do in Dragon Ball and what made the manga/anime popular.
This game is entertaining to play. It is recommended not only for Dragon Ball fans but casual and basic players of the MMORPG genre. It’s a lively and colorful experience due to its great anime background and fascinating gameplay.
