Dragon Ball Gekishin Squadra combines fast-paced combat with strategic team-based gameplay, blending elements of a MOBA while ditching traditional mechanics like gold farming and in-match item shops. This hybrid approach sparks debates about its genre classification.
Core MOBA Mechanics With a Twist
- Team composition: 4v4 battles across twin-lane maps
- Core objectives: Destroy enemy towers (Gods of Destruction) to access rival Dragon Balls
- Match duration: Races ahead with 5-6 minute average playtimes
Role Dynamics Simplified
- Three class tags: DPS, Tank, and Technical
- All roles emphasize offensive power over passive support
- Eliminates “healer-only” gameplay that deters some MOBA players
Progression Without Paywalls
- Card system: Mid-match power boost selection (auto/manual options)
- Character unlocks: Free roster expansion via account leveling
- Monetization: Cosmetic-only gacha mechanics
