SAND LAND is the latest anime adaptation from Bandai Namco, launching on April 26th for Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and PC.
As the Fiend Prince Beelzebub, players embark on a quest to locate the Legendary Spring, putting them at odds with the Royal Army. Though you can run around and punch foes into submission, SAND LAND leans heavily on vehicular combat as you punch through with a tank or stomp around with a Jump-Bot. Other vehicles become available over time, offering even more ways to explore the ruins of humanity.
While SAND LAND won’t overwhelm you with its side quest design or range of activities, the solid combat and fleshed-out main cast make for a solid, enjoyable journey. Watch our review to learn even more about it.
It’s actually a fun game. It’s not boring at all and the story, while a bit simple does offer a lot. It’s a combination of Borderlands and some rpg elements.
This games fucking dogshit.
I hate how you have to keep pressing the X button on ps5 to keep the dialogue going. How tedious. Sometimes you press it and the character only delivers one word or a grunt before you have to press it again. I also hate how they keep repeating the same things over and over while you are driving around. Just why? Why? And how he says "I'll keep this. I may need it." EVERY single time you pick something up, or "Here we go" when you climb something. Fifty times. A hundred times. A thousand times. And when you loot a chest the text is so small you can't even read it so you don't even know what you're getting. Oh, and don't forget your side characters constantly telling you how to solve puzzles before you even have five seconds to think about it just in case you are that stupid. If you can even call them puzzles. "Look. There's some junk in the way. Maybe we should shoot it with our tank!" Duuuh. Would never have figured that out myself pal. I hate how, when you get out of your tank and take five steps away from it, it disappears, so now you have to go into the menu again, find it again and produce it again. Why??? These annoying things were a conscious decision that they made. They intentionally put these things in the game for some reason. And don't even get me started on the music. At least you can turn that off in the options menu unlike the endless repetitive banter.
Beelzebub and Satan in DBZ wtf? Was this guy a satanist or something?
Just looks like Anime borderlands to me
I was bored of all the sand during the demo. I felt like Anakin Skywalker.
Brought this and stella blade , been playing the hell out of sandland , haven't even touched stella yet lol , this game ROCKS !!!!
Such a fun game! Already 10 hours in! The world is a blast to run around in and it’s fun customizing your vehicles. So glad I grabbed this:)
Ive been waiting on this, I don’t need to break new ground just enjoy some Toriyama video game that isn’t DW
In terms of graphics, it's good. It's nicely rendered with cell-shading. The environments and characters reminded me of DBZ world but my biggest gripe about this game is the enemies A.I. level of difficulty in battle. Most enemies A.I. under normal difficulty is poor, to say the least. Enemies tend to just stand there and let you hit them. Enemies do attack but they do it in a "take turn" alternate pattern. For example, when you fight against two or more enemies in battle, you attack one while the others just either stand there blocking or run around wait for their turn.
I get a sense that this game is for kids but even so, the enemies A.I. shouldn't be so predictable.
Good, but very repetitive
I loved the manga and am flabbergasted to discover there is now a movie, a game and even a series!
Shame it’s not that good, was really looking forward to it
I like that this game really tries to do something different then just the typical jrpg tropes. If this ever comes to switch, id buy it in a second.
Demo was boring as hell
Games everybody cares about except me
playing it now, enjoying the game for what it is.
the game is amazing… period
The futuristic sequel to The Sand Lot😢..For..e…ver…For..e..ver ‼️
Sandland looks so fun
the demo though, holy F so boring
I don't like when enemies scale to your level. It makes upgrades abd grinding worthless in my opinion.
That can sometimes make it or break it for me. 🙏🏽
I'll probably get it when it's on a deep sale.
You can’t shoot a gun on foot?🤦♂️
Don't waste your time on This.
its the shittest review I've ever seen.
like is it a review or a fucking tutorial.
4 minutes ill never get back.
how much in steam?
has anyone run in to a color issue? everyone's colors for me seem inverted for some reason
Looks really AWESOME!!!
Looks like it'll be a solid addition to my backlog but even the "budget" $60 price point seems a bit ambitious for what's actually on offer here. I'll gladly pick it up once it gets around the $40 price point.
Sand Land aka “if Akira Toriyama made Mad Max.”
Really? 7/10?! Akira Toriyama tragically passed away earlier this year, and you guys at GB just gave a gaming adaption of one of his works a pathetic score of 7/10?!
Thanks for 0 like and 0 subscriber 👻
Let not forget that this is the last work Akira Toriyama worked on
Hopefully, this does well enough to get another Sandland game or maybe even a Dr Slump game.
I dont know. To me it Feels like an empty world. Not much different from most JRPGs. I was looking forward to tank combats but even that looks slow. Gonna pass I guess.
The demo was pretty decent. I dont know if I’d buy it day one but I do want it.
I would be interested in Re-reviews of past games. After so many years, no patch updates are getting pushed through and dlc's are out, re-review a game. Did it hold up, has it improved since, not as good as you thought it was…..
Looks kinda bare/boring. Might wait for an 80% sale before checking it out
So it's decent gameplay but boring grind/story, might play it looks cool.
Wow… the opening demo showed as exciting as paint drying
Better the Kakarot? Same?
Why does this look fun though lol I think they just rushed it but it could’ve been much better
Tbh the vehicle's could be faster..
This looks super basic
DBZ FTW!
