The story of World Mission starts with a simple concept: you play as yourself in a world where the characters and events of the Dragon Ball franchise are all real, but in the distant past. As an enormous Dragon Ball fan who’s wanted in on Heroes for ages, I’m glad to say that World Mission is every bit as ridiculous, strange, and fun as it seems, even with a couple minor speedbumps. I’ve always wanted to know more about Heroes ’s insane story and characters, but the subseries never made its way to the West– that is, until Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission released. At practically every anime convention I’ve attended over the years, there have been vendors with enormous binders full of Dragon Ball Heroes cards, featuring entirely new characters or insane concepts that aren’t even remotely canon (Super Saiyan 4 Broly still weirds me out). The Dragon Ball Heroes arcade card game seems to be quite a phenomenon in Japan.
MonsterVine was provided with a Switch code for review Platforms: Nintendo Switch (reviewed) and PC Though it has a few minor problems that halt the pace of progression, the volume of ridiculous fanservice and deep mechanics make World Mission a treat for both card game fans and Dragon Ball fans. Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission is an addictive card game that is absolutely full of content on all sides.
