A whole land filled with sand ? Anakin Skywalker would absolutely hate this game

Yeah it’s coarse and rough and it gets everywhere. 😊

@bgill7475 Месяц назад

It’s a shame Rey buried his lightsaber in sand right at the end.

Nah, it's got droids, speeders and Pod racer like vehicles - plus demon characters who steal, plunder and murder. He'd love it

This is kind of bittersweet as Toriyama-san's last game before he passed away, you'll be missed Toriyama-san, you brought joy to so many people R.I.P :')

@Aka-Spade Месяц назад

I was about to mention Dragon Quest XII, but everyone else beat me to it. Yeah, while I'm not entirely sure how much was already done for DQ XII, it's safe to say we've yet to truly see the last things he's worked on, but I'd say Sand Land is the beginning of it.

Did You know that in the manga, the console Belzebub is given was a play station 6 with a Dragon Quest copy, that's interesting. Greetings from México

@MarkTheDead Месяц назад

I just finished watching the impressions for Stellar Blade earlier, and now we get another video so soon, we're definitely spoiled. I love it, and it's good to see you back. Your show always puts me in a wonderful mood.

@A_G_H_A_N_I_M Месяц назад

I remember way back in 2003, reading Shonen Jump when it first came to the states and discovering SandLand in those pages. I loved that manga so much I wore out my initial copy back in the day lol Never in my wildest dreams would I see this obscure one-shot become a video game or an anime or even that there would be people talking on RU-vid about it. Thank you for the video! Can't wait to jump into this game myself.

@cloudscourge5724 Месяц назад

I had the same one!! I still have it but i've read through it so much it's barely in one piece! I'm so happy this game was made!!

@joshbrucks Месяц назад

Its not a oneshot. It has 14 chapters. Maybe you think oneshot means one volume but it doesnt. It means the whole manga is published in a single magazing.

@Arashi1138 Месяц назад

Been looking foward to this one for awhile. Can't wait for work to end so I can go pick it up today :D

@PatalliroMaro Месяц назад

I'm very surprised you didn't mention this: It's by the same developer that had a hand in making the console version of DQXI!! ILCA! Very much evidenced by the tight rope walking and the forward monster chase.

@devan_danger Месяц назад

Yea he didn't name the developer or publisher at all which I was surprised by. Honestly, big oversight.

@linkvagar2336 Месяц назад

Technically, Dragon Quest 12 will be Toriyama's last game

@sanictheedgehog Месяц назад

Difference is involvement. Sandland is 100% Toriyama.

@Jay-qu2bc Месяц назад

Did toriyama get to work on dq12 at all before he passed?

@theLikou1 Месяц назад

@@sanictheedgehog Nah, he wrotes the extra story for the anime and game, this doesn't mean it's fully his game since he is no producer or anything.

@lc3212 Месяц назад

Technically you are right but with sand land it’s based off his original work. He worked on not only the writing and scenarios for new forest world but also the artwork and designs that were not in the manga including characters, enemies, and vehicles. With dragon quest he does the artwork and I believe developed characters stories and backgrounds to work within the devs story. Here other than what writing the dev team did which he gave feedback and changes and eventually approved, his work is all over sandland apart from the actual developement of the gameplay which he was also kept updated on through development according to the devs cause they wanted it to be to be true to his vision.

@Dusty_B Месяц назад

It’s in my maybe pile. Budget is sparse and Stellar Blade and Eiyuden are taking priority right now and Pete Dorr has rekindled my Xbox 360 flames so I’ve been picking up some titles there too. The Sandland demo didn’t really click with me, but that’s true for a lot of games that I ended up liking. It definitely factored into me waiting though. I’ll get it eventually.

@BulletPr00fGAm3r Месяц назад

Thanks for a great video! Quick question is the game complete on the physical Disk?

@chachinator100 Месяц назад

I have to wait a whole month before playing this one,so that I can play it with my granddaughter..I can't wait!

Pre ordered the collector's edition. Been a fan since reading the manga years ago, and since hoped there would be more Sand Land.

@robbiestroud2858 Месяц назад

Had no idea what this was until you brought it up. This seems like a must-play (as recommended). What a pleasurable video to watch. Perfect review!

@vgsquirrel Месяц назад

Staying on a budget right now but I'm definitely interested! I'll have to pick it up on sale sometime. Glad it's on PS4 since I haven't picked up a PS5 or Series X yet. Thanks for covering this one Johnny!

@michaelmurray2033 Месяц назад

Very interested in this. Great video, Johnny. Picking up stellar blade tomorrow. Still on chapter 9 in ff7 rebirth doing all the side content, so this is gonna be a sale for me at least when it’s 39.99

@jaypayne4744 6 дней назад

This is on sale for $39.99 at GameStop and I think Amazon if you’re still looking for it. Just picked it up myself. Cheers!

@michaelmurray2033 6 дней назад

I seen that on Amazon and ended up getting it. Just got it in the mail. Appreciate the heads up my friend. Happy gaming!!!

@Orkex Месяц назад

Seems like a less adult version of the Mad Max game? Not just in setting, but gameplay action-RPG exploration and customising vehicles? Or am I missing something?

@grafixtiger Месяц назад

Yes all ready picked it up on release day ,not many copies out their, some stores never even heard of it finally found 1 copy at best buy, none at target or Walmart...

@grafixtiger Месяц назад

Me too exactly what happened to me, sure got some strange looks , too bad they don't know how great it is

@Sevenifity Месяц назад

its pretty good game by the looks of it. i already in love with the series by watching 2-3 episodes from the anime. i think the game will give the exact experience i want from the vibes of it. but i just need to clear some backlogs, Ronin, Rebirth, Stellar blades and dozen switch games. i might get it when its on discount later.

@harlandsylling9587 Месяц назад

This reminds me of a PS5 updated version of The Misadventures of Tron Bon. Definitely gonna have to get this

@SirFragalot Месяц назад

Well, I'm still playing Unicorn Overlord and I got Stellar Blade tomorrow but thanks to your review, I'll make this the game I buy and play after I finish those two. I had this on my radar but I was waiting for someone I trust to review it, and you gave me all the approval I needed.

I got half way through your review and just went and pre-ordered. Thanks for the heads up!

@SultanSamet Месяц назад

I was HYPED ! - but the demo on series s was a bit lackluster (they just throw you somewhere in the desert to play around, but ... no direction? no real context for the situation, etc) . So i waited for a review. Thanks

@gundambassexe31 Месяц назад

Played around in the demo when that came out and enjoyed it quite a bit. Watched some of the anime that's coming out right now as well. Going to be playing it soon

@humblemudgames Месяц назад

this game looks so cool! it's reminding me a bit of FotNS Lost Paradise with the setting, but then you say Blaster Master vibes too?? oh man. I remember reading this comic back in the day in Shonen Jump too. I always thought Bubs was one of Akira's more interesting characters.

@GamesTuesday Месяц назад

It's funny, the fact that it's "such a large game" is actually a reason for me to pass it up. I've got so many large games waiting for me to finish Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth because despite loving my time with the game (I'm just over 50 hours in now), I've mostly spent time with Helldivers 2 because of its more jump in & jump out nature.

@cbmetalgod88 Месяц назад

It wasn't a game I had on my radar, but I've pre-ordered it after playing the Demo. I really liked the versatility of the vehicles and I could see myself spending hours building and upgrading my own vehicles. Not to mention it has an art style I absolutely love.

I wonder if they will ever release a PC version or any updated version of Blue Dragon. And I guess now I can completely give up on there ever being an Anime for Chrono Trigger.

@MoltenMan85 Месяц назад

I'm glad someone else made the Bruce Campbell connection! I was watching the anime the other day and thought the same.

@shoked99 Месяц назад

@hangingon Месяц назад

Stellar Blade is amazing! Havent put it down since I got it after work yesterday.

Definitely picking this up day one alongside Stellar Blade. I love action RPG's, and Akira Toriyama's art style is very appealing to me. It's gonnna be great!

@fattiger6957 Месяц назад

I wasn't even aware of this game until recently. Though I will be busy with Stellar Blade in I'm definitely going to get this game. Despite people complaining about this year, I have 3 brand new games I want to play. I mentioned Stellar Blade as well as this game, but I also intend to get Rise of the Ronin.

@DolphinOnHigh Месяц назад

I know nothing of this series but the art style drew me in, got it early today and enjoying it so far

@KitRobin Месяц назад

This game was on my radar but I didn’t know much about it. I feel like you sold me on it. I played the demo for stellar blade and this sounds more up my speed so I might get this first.

@WhatAboutZoidberg Месяц назад

Def not picking it up on launch, only do that once or twice a year now and only just heard of this game. Reminds me of this old Japanese series called Metal Max with the vehicle combat. Will check it out at some point, the art, as always, makes the animations look like an anime.

@manopsp12 Месяц назад

I got to play the first 15 minutes or so at Gamescom back in August and i felt like this was definitely a day 1 pick-up for me, and then the demo came out last month and felt like a giant empty step backwards, but your review has convinced me again to pick it up.

@sorv5790 Месяц назад

Dude, I had heard it was Toriyama's last work but I thought it was a Naruto Shippuden kind of thing, not an RPG-ish sandbox game. This looks super fun, thanks for highlighting it. I might have to pick this up!

@adamcorb2974 Месяц назад

I played the demo, and i could tell that with actual story and more things to do it would be a good game, coz they just kinda throw you in there for the demo instead of a usual demo where they give you a small chunk of the story then it caps you off at a certain point. So yes i am planning get it and your review cements that 🙌

@theLikou1 Месяц назад

Yeah, the demo did more harm than good to this game. No events at all, just walking around aimlessly. Word of mouth will carry this game, hopefully.

Thanks John, as a single dad of two young ones money really is tight and I can hardly ever justify a new game at the prices now. I couldn't decide between this and Stellar Blade but your videos helped me acknowledge I really enjoyed the demo and if it opens up as you say a bit later too then that's great. In reality I'll read more reviews and put Stellar Blade in my basket then delete it at the last minute and wait for a sale lol. Arghhh you see, by the end of my waffling message I'm now thinking of SandLand as I love something different and quirky from the Eastern developers. Fist of the North Star Lost Paradise is still one of my favourite games just because it's mad and fun lol.
