North American localization

[edit]

In the game's North American release, all swords in the game had been replaced with sticks. Though no explanation as to why this change was made, a representative of Bandai Namco told Operation Rainfall that the decision was made by Nintendo and Bandai Namco.[4]

Manga

[edit]

A manga adaptation titled Dragon Ball Fusions the Manga!![b] was serialized in Saikyō Jump magazine from its May 2016 issue published in April 2016 to its May 2018 issue published in April 2018. Written and illustrated by Hiroshi Otoki, the story followed Tekka as he and his friend Pinich gather the Dragon Balls to wish for a "Number One in Time Space Martial Arts Tournament."[5]

Reception

[edit]

The game received "mixed" reviews, according to the review aggregator website Metacritic, receiving a rating of 72/100 based on 37 critics.[19]

Kyle Hilliard of Game Informer awarded Dragon Ball Fusions a 6.75 out of 10, praising the gameplay and graphics while criticizing the battles and requirements for EX Fusions as "time-consuming".[20]

Heidi Kemps of GameSpot awarded the game a 6 out of 10, criticizing the lack of English voice acting, the battle animations for being "repetitive" and the game itself for feeling like a companion to Dragon Ball Xenoverse.[21]
