I Played The SAND LAND Game 

🌳 Don't forget to check out the Anime Game Community server: discord.gg/dE7HaDHWxD

I remember reading Sandland with my dad back in 2000. He passed away when I was in college, so seeing this get revived now is emotional for me. Glad to see a new audience for this.

Sand Land is actually pretty old. I remember reading it in an old Shonen Jump from 2002 or so.

The fact that bandai is popping off with these games that are even unpopular is extroadinary

You said it's new, it's not it's like 20 years old now but it's just now getting the proper anime adaptation and a game and I couldn't be more happy

this game looks dope, excited to play!

RIP Akira Toriyama 😢

Sandland is not a new project. Akira created it in 2000

Fun fact: this entire game is based on Daburas son. Dabura from DBZ. Look it up.

Globku: Demons don’t kill Also Globku: So yeah… with the tank you can blow up enemies 🤣

That goes to show that the video game industry has become a lot bigger. Having a game based on a manga before an anime is a huge indicator of that, which is awesome. Also that giant scorpion boss looks really cool.

i'm so hyped for the sandland game, i read the sandland manga when i was a kid and loved it so i'm happy that it finally gets some love

correction sandland isn't a new manga it was one of his original early manga around the time of dragon ball debut Original run May 22, 2000 - August 28, 2000, of the first volume Sand Land (stylized in all caps) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Akira Toriyama. It was serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine from May to August 2000 and was collected into one tankōbon volume in November 2000 by Shueisha. Sand Land was serialized in North America by Viz Media in their English Shonen Jump magazine in 2003. It was later released in one graphic novel in December 2003. A CGI anime film adaptation co-produced by Sunrise, Kamikaze Douga, and Anima will be released in August 2023. An action role-playing video game developed by ILCA and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment has been announced. why do people do this it only takes a Google search it was a classic of his work I love Sandland it gave me more of a badass dragon quest vibe

Oh wow! After so long I didn't think there was anyone left who cared about Sand Land. That manga is a lost treasure, but I'm happy it's being dug out again. I hope the Swimmers are in the game. I really loved those goofy bandits.

Ohh... this makes me so happy. I don't know where this sudden hype for Sand Land is coming from but I absolutely love it, the announcement of the anime already blew me away! Dragon Ball is of course a fantastic series but Sand Land, to me, feels like a combination of things that Toriyama was really passionate about - silly humor, funny and serious characters, diverse character designs, interesting vehicle designs, all combined into one nice adventure with stakes that are just high enough that the story doesn't take itself TOO seriously while readers are excited all the same. So it's great that Sand Land is finally getting attention and that the game seems to respect that as well. It's unfortunate that the game won't come out on Switch (only console I own right now), but I'm still really excited for it. Thanks for reporting on this!

This looks like a lot of fun. It’s like the adventures of Young Feral Gohan or Goku that we never got. I’m glad it’s another IP because you can only get so much Dragon Ball games before it gets old.

RIP Akira Toriyama 🕊️

This manga came out in 2002 but this game looks pretty cool it's interesting to see new stuff from Sand Land

would recommend the manga, the artwork is simply amazing - and its just one volume

The combat Feels like a Warriors game light attacks that you insert a strong into to finish it and a special you build a bar to use

I remember buying Sand Land after Dragon Ball ended where I live, and honestly? I liked it more, DB became long and confusing (to me) after a while and it just kept going. So a self-contained story was what I needed. I only read it once though because my brother suddenly refused to share any manga he had in his room, and since it was Toriyama it "belonged" with DB. So I'm glad it's getting more attention.

Lets pray for a public demo

I love the setting so much. I'm so excited!

its one of my favorite mangas, i literraly read some weeks before the game have been release and i love it, im so excited to play this game

This making me excited I haven't felt this excited since Blue Dragon!

Hope the combat is fun and deep enough. SandLand is actually one of 1st mangas I bought as a kid and it's very interesting to finally see more of this world.

I really dig the designs.

Nice, i can't wait to get into that. And the vehicle's and all. Hope you had fun. Will you be covering this game? Nobody is talking about it on you tube.

Dude sandland looks so good but I had no clue it had a GAME coming!

Im so happy to see akira toriyama being so loved and appreciated!

Interesting, looking forward to play it in the future.

I’m sure whatever is not in the manga which I’ve had for years now that the game will incorporate whatever is going to be in the new anime coming out or vice versa they took from the anime put in the game or from the game and put it in the anime, i’m happy to see this I enjoyed the Manga years ago

Seeing the replies correcting the "new project" comment, I'm guessing he meant the upcoming movie (&by extension this game) as they are new projects, although admittedly was likely worth mentioning the manga published and concluded decades ago.

Man i love the artstyle so much i will buy it for it alone. And the gameplay doesnt look bad either. And looks like it could be a fun lighthearted story. Miss those in modern gaming.

I still have my original shonen jump magazines from the early 2000s and this was definitely one of the mangas I read. It is totally worth the reading definitely one of toriyama's underrated works.

Hyped for this!

Can't wait, Sand Land is awesome

Dang Sandland brings me back, I think the first chapter came out in the same Shonen Jump that Naruto debuted in, waaaay back in 1999 or something

Looks dope. I can imagine that it opens up A LOT

Lucky you. Sand Land looks awesome. I read the manga back when it came out

Got to watch the new movie the other day and played the demo as well. Never knew about the manga until the PlayStation showcase. My new favorite anime franchise.

Been looking forward to this one! Like DBZ Mad Max? I'm in!

I read this when I was a kid! Very exited to see these new iterations

Will keep an eye on this studio. I really enjoyed One Piece Odyssey and Sand Land is looking good. Hope they get some more opportunities in the future.

I'd like to hope this is a sign of businesses employing different tactics. Investing in a unique ideas rather than butchering something to death with a remake/playing to whats trendy is a step in the right direction in my book. Especially for the gaming industry

I like that the combos in combat is like a warriors game combo. Very simple.

I always, all the time, will be watching you so put your mind at ease and sleep

I just NEED this game now

going back now , this is good

The fact that the main demonic character is the son of dabura the king of the demon realm makes him a prince ( wonder if he played with auntie towa when she was growing up)

I’ve never been able to get into open world games but this looks really fun.

Super cool looking game! Did you get to play Armored Core 6 at the event as well? If so I'd love to see if I could pick your brain about what you were able to try!

I'm actually sold on this game, looks super fun!

This game is going to be awesome, I'm loving the look of it so much!

A little surprised you didn't do your research on how old Sandland is but the game looks cool either way

Sand land came out WAYYY back in 2000. And was and is a cult classic.

Can't wait to game up on this. 👍

Mad Max vibes? Sold. I don't need anything more. Thank you good sir

Sorry but I really chuckled at "new" as I bought the manga about 20 years ago ( in canada ). I'm glad it's finally getting traction after all these years

Back in middle school i used to love ready Sand Land, i know this game is gonna be something

"new project by akira" my guy, Sandland manga came out 23 years ago

2:24 huh this is clearly a botw and totk reference or inspiration in this case 😂

I had no idea this game was a manga. I saw the game trailer and thought it looked like fun, so now I will purchasing it.

Maybe the real water was in the friends we made along the way

I've only just came across this and it looks great. I love the art style and really hope we see a Dragonball game in this style, I really was not a fan of kakarot gameplay, was just low budget in my opinion, this though looks very fluid and fun

this may turn out to be a gem

I GENUINELY wanna play this game. It takes place in a world I have no idea about at all but this is so intriguing to me.

This has a big Desert Punk vibe. I would love a game based on that.

anything games with akira toriyama on it, i'm in. i love dragon quest games because of the art style

Hello I came to correct you on a sand land comment. While sand land was a branch off from dragon ball it was a small project done by Akita toriyama like ariel. Sand land is the latest but by all means is not new I had got a poster out of a sand land comic book around my 9th grade year of highschool and the book had been fairly old so sandland is not a new franchise do not let that term deceive you but I do love your videos keep up the good work!

I don't understand why we haven't gotten a chrono trigger game remaster in this artstyle

Just a heads up: Sand Land is not "new", it first published in 2000

Already preordered

Although its not as popular as dbz i love sand land and cant wait for the anime

Almost an anime Borderlands

The combo system makes me think of warriors, specifically pirate warriors 4, because of the air combos

RIP Akira 🙏 😞

The game looks pretty sweet so far, but I hope this game doesn't come out too soon so the devs can focus on fixing some of the smaller issues you mentioned.

i read when i was a kid and is absolutely awesome adventure

Looks pretty good.

One thing we don't technically know if is true or not is you said "they're free to make up extra stuff", that stuff might not be in the manga, but they likely have access to and could be going off the upcoming movie. So although they will have non manga new content in the game, it might not also be a free reign to add whatever, could be stuff that was specifically added in for the movie. Will have to wait for the movie to air and see what they add in to see if the game expands the world even further, or just sticks to adapting the movie content.

Looks awesome , this is how a dragon ball game should be... Is this focused on vehicles?

If I can play it with friends then I'll definitely try it

can't wait to play this game... oh wait, it's not coming to switch :(

Im glad it just looks unique vs more 3d arena fighters lmao. Im surprised a short series from 2000 like sandland is getting an anime and a video game lol

My boy said its a new project 😂

That madmax game is great

I felt like it was lot like A dragonball game and we never gotten that so that is the reason i gotten hyped for it

This reminds of metal max with dragon quest elements

New lol. I read sand land when I was a kid.

"a new project" am i being trolled right now?

Everyone just forgot Blue Dragon!?!?!?

Ive been looking for some info on this

Akira game like this would kill

The new what globku? 😂aime

Holy crap, sand land was the first manga I ever read like 15 years ago

In Toriyama we trust! 😊

Dude you got to ask Bandai Namco can u come back for the new Tenkaichi that would be a video that would be out of this world 😮!!!!

Am not sure if this is true i don't clearly remember but i think many manga works from toriyama are in the same universe alongside dragon ball

"New Thing"??? My boy Sandland has been around since the early 2000s in the US.
