Bandai Namco has also previously shared more about the Sand Land game, including the fact that Beelzebub — the main character — will be able to string together combos of attacks, and use heavy and special attacks as well. A skill tree in the game will allow for different attacks to be learned, which will work differently depending on the enemy you’re fighting.
In the game, exploration is encouraged. Bandai Namco noted that various places can be visited, including village ruins, military bases, and dungeon ruins. The latter of these are divided into small, medium, and large dungeons. Some of these contain multiple levels as well.
What is Sand Land about?
“In the far future, war has destroyed the entire Earth, leaving only a barren wasteland where the supply of water is controlled by the greedy king. In search of a long-lost lake, Sheriff Rao asked the king of the demons for help…and got the king’s son, Beelzebub, and his assistant, Thief. Together the unlikely trio sets off across the desert, facing dragons, bandits and the deadliest foe of all… the King’s army itself! It’s travel adventure and tank action in this new story from Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragon Ball Z!” the official synopsis from Viz Media states.
