Dragon Ball Z Online is an online browser-based game, produced and published by PlayWebGame, based on the popular Dragon Ball anime series.
The players set off by selecting a character type: Majin, Android, or Saiyan.
The game is a hub-based, 2D, side scroller featuring fully automated combat. This essentially means that venturing outside the player hub entails clicking on enemies and waiting for the combat to play out. If your character has a stats advantage, they win. You can also add members to your team, in order to ensure victory. Early on, one can skip the combat, while later on the same thing is possible only by purchasing in-game VIP status.
The production value of the whole this is abysmal. It is quite probably an unlicensed product, a cheap Chinese fake game, made exclusively to attract the attention of the gullible and the stupid, in order to milk their money through a Pay-to-Win monetization scheme.
The poor server quality, in-game lag, and slow-paced loading screens definitely hint to the fact that the product is an obvious scam.
While playing, I came to realize that the best part of the gameplay obviously consists in laughing at the horrid translations, featuring quest texts such as “A turtle was put under a rock by the bandits”.
It is also created using an engine that is very common in the Chinese fake games market.
Choosing this game over any other game is like choosing to go to war with a wooden sword.
