The game had potential, but it fell flat, HARD.
At launch, even the old DBZ: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 had more to do, and more to unlock. I need to make it clear; a game made in 2002 for the PS2 had more to do, more to play, and more to unlock than this game did.
They amped it up with DLC after DLC, and multiple free updates, but the fact you had to buy characters that should have been in the game by default was a little upsetting.
Then we come to the real kick in the teeth. Those who paid the big bucks for the best version of the game, the one that was promised to contain a Season Pass which would grant access to all DLC, were not only left behind, but pushed under the rug.
The Deluxe Edition, which promised a Season Pass granting access to all current and future DLC upon purchase, was de-listed before the newest update dropped (newest at the time of writing on 8/1/2026) and replaced with "Legendary Edition", which promises all of the exact same things the Deluxe Edition promised, including a Season Pass for current and future DLC.
The difference being, those who got the Season Pass through the Deluxe Edition or through pre-orders... Do not get access to the newest DLC, or presumably any after.
The new one, Legendary Edition, offers an identical Season Pass, but with the addition of access to the newest DLC. NEO Edition also offers the newest DLC.
The worst part is that Legendary Edition costs MORE than the old Deluxe Edition did, while promising the exact same thing.
Bandai Namco promised Deluxe Edition buyers a Season Pass, then refused them access to the DLC that should have been given with it, and has now made an identical offer to buyers of Legendary Edition.
Do not buy Legendary Edition. Do not buy this game. Not until Bandai makes this right, if they ever do. You will be wasting your money. NEO is not worth it. NEO Edition is not worth it. Legendary Edition is not worth it. Your money will be burned for empty promises that do not follow through on the words.
This game is not worth the bandwidth to host it, right now, and will not be until Bandai makes good on this.
