Sand Land Review - The Final Verdict

- 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. - Hry
Sand Land aka “if Akira Toriyama made Mad Max.”
Looks like the Mad Max game but anime style!
It's actually way closer to Tank Girl, than Mad Max
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.
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.
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.
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:)
This game shines in what it is, though I did wish the game forced me to use Beelzebub more during the story over my vehicles ( Specifically boss fights). You're not gonna see sand the entire time playing there is another map called Forestland you can visit. 9/10 for me. This game shines if you play is on hard or higher.
The demo was pretty decent. I dont know if I’d buy it day one but I do want it.
Demo was trash
Wut? The demo was terrible, wtf is wrong with you.
@@insertnamehere4419 lol.
Demo doesn't do it justice at all, with the amount of different vehicles, dungeons, bounties, so much more it's amazing
has anyone run in to a color issue? everyone's colors for me seem inverted for some reason
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.....
what dlc? this is made by ILCA! They made pokemon bdsp it has the least updates ever for a modern switch game with only fixes for bugs and no new content and even missing features added way too late when the game was dead already!
playing it now, enjoying the game for what it is.
Sandland looks so fun
Hopefully, this does well enough to get another Sandland game or maybe even a Dr Slump game.
There won't be another Sand Land because of obvious reasons. I'd like to see a Dr. Slump game tho.
@@bukojoetheslapsoils8273 Why would you need Toriyama for it? No offense, but the dude hasnt written a well thought out story in decades.
@@Umi_Pumithere isn’t going to be another sand land game regardless, this game is a snore fest
there is a Dr. Slump game for PS1
Why does this look fun though lol I think they just rushed it but it could’ve been much better
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
It is good, its not a masterpiece... Not gonna win GotY or anything but not every game needs to... Its just a fun little open world to get lost in and spend some hours playing, grinding, finding caves and chests... For what it is, its good... And fun! If you were looking forward to it or had the slightest interest, Id say you will enjoy it!
@@rogerayala6878 Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy it as well, I was just expecting a little more. Not on levels such as Kakarot, but still. It’s not bad, just could have been better.
Basically a decent to good game, but it's better to wait for sale, updates, patches, dlc, etc.
game doesnt need patches it runs good. 8/10 for me
Brought this and stella blade , been playing the hell out of sandland , haven't even touched stella yet lol , this game ROCKS !!!!
how much in steam?
$59.99
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.
But that's every game with such a system. You expect to be playing level 1 enemies at level 100?
@@yarbles66 If I start off a game at Level 1 and I grind throughout the game to level 100...then no, I don't want enemies to be at the exact same level as me because that defeats the purpose of me grinding levels.
However, if enemies are like 5 to 10 levels behind me, then I don't mind that kind of scaling, but enemies scaling to my EXACT level is something I hate and luckily not all games like this do that.
Looks really AWESOME!!!
DBZ FTW!
Dbz Sparking Zero😊😊😊
The futuristic sequel to The Sand Lot😢..For..e...ver...For..e..ver ‼️
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.
Seems fun but not paying $100 AUD for this
So it's decent gameplay but boring grind/story, might play it looks cool.
Better the Kakarot? Same?
Not even close to DbZ Kakarot! Two different genres, contexts, settings as Db Kakarot it is completely from another league imho.
@@emanueletintori1229 Lol what a comment to ask
Literally not even in the same genre! Like... The question alone is questionable! 🤣
I was bored of all the sand during the demo. I felt like Anakin Skywalker.
Ive been waiting on this, I don’t need to break new ground just enjoy some Toriyama video game that isn’t DW
the game is amazing... period
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.
Games everybody cares about except me
Beelzebub and Satan in DBZ wtf? Was this guy a satanist or something?
Good, but very repetitive
Tbh the vehicle's could be faster..
Gotta hold back for the worst consoles
Let not forget that this is the last work Akira Toriyama worked on
I actually think that's DBD(Daima)
Just looks like Anime borderlands to me
Right? Like it's Borderlands 3: Vehicle Combat The Game. Scooter be proud yo
You can’t shoot a gun on foot?🤦♂️
This looks super basic
Looks kinda bare/boring. Might wait for an 80% sale before checking it out
Facts!
I don't like when enemies scale to your level. It makes upgrades and 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.
80% 😂
Deff not boring at all . Been playing it’s fun . Y’all think everything look boring
@@Madxmanix Yep, Ubisoft games type sale lol.
Edit: Because Ubisoft games usually have deep sales early on.
@@BROOKLYNBORN1994 Who's y'all? You don't know any of us personally...don't generalize, it's not a good look.
Edit: If you're having fun with the game then good for you...I hope you continue to enjoy it. 👍🏽
Wow... the opening demo showed as exciting as paint drying
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 though, holy F so boring
Demo was boring as hell
The demo doesnt do the game any justice at all, the game when you get into the story mode is sooo much better. The demo is hot garbage it puts you in post game immediately lol
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?!
Why does this matter in a review? Context should not really matter because it does not change the product. If you want to blame anyone, blame the developer for not having done more with the core material.
“This guy died therefore a game adaptation of one of his series that he had no hand in developing deserves so and so score” yea nah that’s not how things work.
@@StregaSaturn I don't care ZILCH how you think!
Eats popcorn 🍿 😲
It shows he's being unbiased unlike you.. go touch grass.
