The game will continue to receive free updates, balance patches, free playable characters, and much more. Skins and emotes can be summoned with Capsules, which are earned in-game and can be purchased with real currency.

Final Weapon reviewed DRAGON BALL GEKISHIN SQUADRA and gave it a 4 out of 5 score, noting its an “addictive free-to-play 4v4 team battle game that combines the rich history of Dragon Ball with MOBA elements. Players can take advantage of a respectable roster of characters from across the Dragon Ball universe to battle it out online, and there are also plenty of features that let friends play each other with a variety of options and features at their disposal.
