Release Date: August 4, 2016
An RPG based on the cult-classic manga by Akira Toriyama. The game was developed by Ganbraion, with Konami acting as the distributor. We assume the role of a boy named Tekka, who along with his friend Pinich participate in a tournament requiring the participation of five-man teams. The title includes most of the characters from the animated series. Additionally, we can create our own fighter.
Dragon Ball: Fusions is an RPG for 3DS, created by Ganbarion studio and released by Bandai Namco. This is another of numerous titles using the Dragon Ball license created by Akira Toriyama.
Dragon Ball: Fusions approaches the Dragon Ball universe quite loosely. In the story mode, we play as a boy named Tekka, who together with his best friend and rival Pinich, has managed to collect the dragon balls and summoned Shenron - a dragon able to fulfill almost any wish. The heroes wanted to start the biggest martial arts tournament in history. The dragon creates the Valley of Time and Space, creating Jikuichi Budokai tournament (literally the strongest in Time and Space) for the most powerful warriors in the Dragon Ball universe.
The game focuses on turn-based battles of five-person teams, which can include representatives of five groups: Namekians, Aliens, Saiyans, Offworlders and Earthlings. The title offers characters well known to fans of the series: Vegeta, Freeza, Cell and, of course, Son Goku, as well as those from the latest anime series Dragon Ball Super such as Auta Magetta, Vados and Cabba. In addition, you can create a custom warrior with a simple character creator.
The biggest attraction of Dragon Ball: Fusions for 3DS is the system of the titular fusions. They appear in three types: the combination of two characters known from the series as well as two completely new techniques - EX-Fusion and Maxi-Fusion. The latter allows you to create a warrior by fusing all five characters in your team. Contrary to the previously known fusion, the new types allow you to combine heroes of different Ki levels, which, due to the presence of characters from all the series released so far, makes it possible for players to create completely unusual combinations.

Game Ratings for Dragon Ball: Fusions Video Game.
Attack of the Fanboy: 3.5 / 5 by Dean James
Many Dragon Ball games from over the years have been criticized for playing it too safe, but Dragon Ball Fusions definitely tries something very new, even if it doesn’t all work to perfection.
The Outerhaven Productions: 3.5 / 5 by Karl Smart
Dragon Ball Fusions is a wish forfilment to some degree. While it gives us the concept of being able to fuse any character we want, the rest of the game doesn't live up to that one mechanic. Personally I blame the release of it on the Nintendo 3DS as it limited the other aspects of the game in order to pull off the main mechanic. The game is still fun to play, if not easy to abuse. Dragon Ball Fusions is a game that is going to cater to the casual Dragon Ball fan and the hardcore alike, but the hardcores might not like the overall package once the thrill of fan service wears off.
CGMagazine: 8 / 10 by Elias Blondeau
Dragon Ball Fusions manages to pull off being an innovative RPG and some excellent fan service for franchise fans.
