Unity - Completed - Bulma Adventure 4 [v1.0] [YamamotoDoujinshi]

The contrast between the quality art and the absolute ass gameplay needs to be studied if we are to survive as a species.

If I have to dodge any other moving circles in any other game ever, I'm going to have a Winter Soldier moment and crash out.

The art is really good. Reallly emulates the Toriyama style, but with added perversion. The pixel art is charming.

Everything around it is clunky, rudimentary, and a pain in the ass. Every bit of gameplay is filler. Spend time walking around dodging things. Play a rock paper scissors minigame that feels arbitrary. Play scavenger hunt for dragonballs and baby namekians. If you lose any of this you just... have to do it again.

The little bits of presentation are also crummy. The translation is lifeless. I'm sure the jokes hit better in Japanese. The humor is observations from Dragonball Z Abridged but without anything that makes it funny.

It'd be 100% better if it was a visual novel with a little more lively scenes of dialouge. Instead of Krilling going "boy, Trunks is cool, what an envy!" and Trunks going "GULP what a tits my young and hot mom have!" padded out by the worst gameplay imaginable, the dev should have spent the time making these awful minigames on making the dialouge better.

Wait until you can see the gallery somewhere, don't waste your time.

I LOVE Yamamoto. Let me start with that. I love his other games.

But at this point, he should just make an interactive gallery. Minigames were nice, but useless. (The Vegeta minigame? What was the point??)

The Janken Pon! Mini game is in there... two times? Why? (and it's broken, subtitle didn't match the pictures)

Then let's talk about the world design. Random sprites but everywhere with that 2d-3d effect with minimal effort.

All of this for 8 animations (and 3 of them are unlockable post game-ending, with the Shenron Wish.)

Again, I love Yamamoto, but if he's going to make a game this shitty, he might as well just do an animation pack, or just a gallery "game".

So much better and did a good job with animations. I feel we could've gotten more better scenes and had some opportunities. However, I love the minigames in this one as well as the new updated ui and designs so for me i'd give it a 5/5

As a parody game, Yamamoto’s Dragon ball games are the best out there. His art style is always incredible and almost indistinguishable from the original series. The game is super linear loosely following the events of the android/cell sage. The game overall is quite short taking about 1hr to complete.

The game has 8 animated H-events all featuring Bulma and various other characters. The game adds a new feature to these events with “movie mode” which is a nice addition to the events as they can sometime feel quite dull. There are also 2 additional mini h-scenes but they are story exclusive and unfortunately not repayable in the gallery.

The game contains a decent number of minigames ranging from rock paper scissors, quiz, puzzles, stealth sections, etc. Most of these are a bit annoying and feel like they are solely there to extend an already short game, especially the “Ghost section” later in the game due to the ghost variable speeds and the fact they don’t reset positions.

The game overall doesn’t feel anywhere near as polished as the other games from this dev. The story is a little lacking from the past games, with the humor feeling quite stale (minus 1 or 2 jokes) and the overall story feeling very rushed.
The areas and environments are either copy pasted from previous games or rush with no real features added. The 2d art in a 3d environment similar to games like Paper Mario is a nice idea but often results in images being stretched in an unappealing way. The overall art also often feels less polishes with a couple of images having colour outside the lines and characters and backgrounds outside of H-events not looking anywhere near as good as in previous games. Other examples:

• Followers move in a very stutterish manner and often clip though or get stuck on walls
• No collision on the houses in Capsula Corp
• Seeing knocked out boars though walls before triggering the event
• Never explained that when a “new episode” starts the games saves
• Game telling you to save at a “Save Point” even though there are none
• Re-using/redoing art from the Gohan event in Bulma Adventure 3 as a "new h-event"

Overall the H-events are good and the quality on the animations is great, but unfortunately everything else feels like a downgrade from past games.

Finally another Bulma adventure. I love Yamamoto's games because you can tell he knows Dragon Ball's style and story. I think he has some of the best animation and can create the most strangely fetishistic and coherent scenarios regarding this gigantic saga. To me they seem like little gems, short games with simple puzzles and at the end a reward in the form of animation with great art. They don't revolutionize any genre, but of course, if you like the characters, they're worth watching.

...Wow...There was A LOT of hype behind this game and unfortunately it failed to meet expectations. This one reminds me of a boring version of Kame Paradise 3. A decent number of scenes but all of them are so BORING. All of the scenes available are very similar. In terms of gameplay, a very buggy game which might get you locked in and would need you to restart the game/level. The mini games are also annoying, especially when trying to runaway from the fish that eat you (making you restart the damn mini game all over again) or when rock, paper and scissors don't correspond to rock, paper or scissor (so you don't know what you're playing and should just hope to choose an option that will win you the game). In my opinion the trailer seemed better than the actual game. As usual, yamamoto doujins animation and art are really good. This would have been better if it were simply a scene gallery. The gameplay just didn't add anything positive.

My suggestion ? Download a full save a view the scenes. Do not waste your time with the gameplay.
