As a massive fan of Akira Toriyama's work, I was extremely excited to dig into one of his worlds that I have yet to explore. Anime games are typically 3D arena fighters, but Sand Land shakes up the genre in a meaningful way with vehicular combat, charming characters, and a unique art style.

How are you not making Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 4 gameplay videos for 2024? Wheres the tips and tricks, secrets, and lore videos? Even my son is playing Fallout New Vegas and he hasn't watched the show yet because of word of mouth. We're watching people we never saw before because they are making new videos. No one wants to watch old videos.
Glad to see there is more to the game. I watched the anime first and thought I had spoiled the game for myself
Toriyama loved designing vehicles. I'm so happy there is a game to give respect for his vehicle designs. Even back in Dr. Slump and Dragon Ball Z you can look back and tell he put a lot of effort into cars, bikes, flying vehicles, spaceships. RIP, Toriyama san.
I loved Dr Slump since I watched the OG anime on VHS back in 1993 when I was 4 years old, it's one of my favourite anime that was dear to me alongside Dragonball
Matty: "I'm something of an anime games connoisseur myself." 😏
The last project Akira Toriyama was able to complete
RIP
Thank you for making my childhood so special
I feel the same way bro. Warms my heart to see the world jointly mourn this man. He touched so many souls man. Playing this tonight is going to be 🎢
Daima
You mean Dragon Ball Daima, plus we've still got Dragon Quest 12 to come
@@maldon3659
No, I don’t
I specifically said “able to complete”
Daima isn’t content complete. The general story is set but Toriyama was supervising the whole show and still making creative decisions… and the show is very far from being completed.
Sand land was content complete and in the polishing stages when he died. No creative decisions were being made anymore.
I still fell Kakarot ought be thought of his final game
This is 100% a wait for a sale game for me. Looks like a lot of fun, but not needing to dive in early at full price.
Great video!
Facts!
Ngl I don't know anything about SandLand but I bought the deluxe edition and can't wait to play it later tonight. Blue Dragon got me through a whole deployment. With senpai's death looming after idc, it let's me say goodbye to him and see his art one last time, I'm going in completely blind. RIP Akira
Titles like this (I wouldn't have seen, but think i'll enjoy) are spending their money wisely on sponsored vids with Matty.
You like to live dangerously don't you
I need a blue dragon 4k remake. That game was amazing, and this one might overtake it since I waited so long for that void to be filled all these years. lol
Hell yeah dude
@@mendoncabeast1 just play dragon quest it' infinitely better
Seeing this really makes me want a Desert Punk game to this quality.😅
That was such a funny series. The vent scene is hilarious!
Then go buy it
@@capnphuktard5445 Waaay ahead of ya buddy. It's waiting for my weekend 🤣
lol you wish
@tchitchouan You're damn right I do 🤣
I loved the Sandland book as a kid it was always my favorite Toriyama creation the tank is just so rad happy to see it getting some love finally
It was a slow start, it treacles out the gameplay mechanics quite slowly but I think when you’ve done the first dungeon in that crashed ship that’s when it really opens up with side quests and letting you really go out and explore and upgrade and customise your vehicles. I did enjoy the start but I’m really enjoying it a lot more now that I feel I have more gameplay options.
Good to know because I’m two hours in and it’s very underwhelming but I suspect it’s rolling things out slowly.
Honestly the graphics and the world are amazing
As a massive fan of Dragonball Z and hearing Akira Toriyama passing really broke me so much, nd then playing the demo of Sandland and knowing that it was gonna be his final Project I had to pre order this in honour of him 😢🙏❤️. This game is an absolute masterpiece I'm enjoying every minute of it, the story, the quests, characters etc everything bout this game is spot on 👌. Amazing video Matty as always mate keep doing what your doing. 👍. Top lad
I’m not even a JRPG guy but I might cop this in honor of Toriyama.
I wouldn’t say it’s a full on jrpg more like an action RPG since it’s main mechanics are the open world and vehicle combat
It’s an open world action game
@@Reb8rnit's absolutely a jrpg
@@xJayhawkFANx Jrprg can mean but the commun mening is a rpg that has turn based combat otherwise its A-RPG (otherwise the term ARPG wouldn't exist)
@@maj-solidsnake1808 the term JRPG and ARPG aren't mutually exclusive. You can have a JRPG which is also an ARPG. Theyre technically called JARPG'S. JRPGS arent exclusively turn based. If it's an RPG made in Japan then by definition, it's a JRPG whether it's turn-based or action such as Tales of Arise or the Ys games.
I can't be the only one that heard some hints of Chrono Trigger in the music at times. Particularly the theme for the Legendary Spring area.
Sand Land was the first manga series I ever read and finished. It’s shocking to me how few people had even heard of it.
The game looks to have a good variety of gameplay and a lot of other things going for it. Looking forward to trying it
Had it sitting on my PC today but I got it pretty blind to most other content than the aesthetic. Pretty stoked to try it now
I’ve been watching the sandland anime that came out a few weeks back and that has me hyped af to check this game out
I’ve read a tinny bit of the manga and know that there is an anime but I need to know if those are prerequisites to getting into the game. Or can I just play the game?
From what I’ve learned it folllows the manga and anime so you can read,watch or play the entire story
@@Crimesy777 Okay so I won't be missing out on anything if I play the game without finishing the manga? Excellent. I read it so long ago that I really can't remember anything other than the fantastic character designs
I pre ordered the Collector's edition and can't wait to get it, and play the game, really seems like something I can sink some time into with all the building and crafting possibilities, looks awesome and hopefully the sound track will get a Spotify release
Awesome game, lots of fun highly recommended if anyone is interested
Controls (handling) is good story is fun. The characters are good and unique.
Great video
Rest In Paradise Akira Toriyama the man that practically raised many of us without us ever even knowing the man behind the pen, due to him being a hermit.
I think I will check this out, solely because it's based off the pen of Toriyama.
Thank you for informing me about this! I may pick it up. Common Matty W.
I’ve already got 15 hours in and it’s surprisingly wonderful. Definitely worth a buy if you like open world exploration games
I was so surprised by it I bought it on a whim. It is putting ff7 rebirth to shame
@@lordavicennalmfaoooo CLOWN
@@lordavicennawait for real? I might get one later too once I finished Rebirth. Rebirth is fun but it’s kinda too long and my interest kinda dropped after 60 hours. Lol
@@jungchoothian2039 so far it might be the best game I played this year and I finished rebirth and endured the mini games 😂
Preordered it after I watched the anime on Hulu. Really enjoying the game! The tank combat was developed by someone who played the desert tank mission on Halo 3. Even the music sounded inspired. SandLand is so addictive!!!
Read Manga years ago always wondered and wish what would toriyama do with it if he had more time do with it at the end, I hope this game does it justice
Been eyeing this one glad too see you doing a review on it
I’ll defiantly be picking this up had actually never heard of it before if I’m honest but I’m also a big fan of Toriyama’s work and this looks really good
I went into this completely blind. Loved every bit of it. Even made me cry on 1 occasion
Meetch is playing Old School RuneScape
I bought the manga shortly after Toriyama's passing. I want thengame too but told myself I can't until I finish the book.
Same rule for alan wake 2. I love the first game and bought the novelization.
If I want to tell myself this is anime new vegas with mechs then I'm going to tell myself this is anime new vegas with mechs.
I just bought it today & I love it! What other JRPG's are like this??
The Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is probably the closest design and narrative wise no surprise since it's also Akira Toriyama from story to art as well.
But that one is exclusively hand to hand, Dragon Quest games have similar story beats and of course his art again but turn based Blue Dragon is also Akira Toriyama.
Similar to the vehicle stuff is hard closest I'd say is likely Metal Max Xeno also set in a desert but it's older and turn based this is likely the more polished version of that.
The mad max game is probably the closest lol not a JRPG at all tho
Yes, I'm getting it. Tried the demo and liked it a few weeks ago.
kotor 2 and the last ronin in the background there yeah u deserve a sub 👌
Really damn good review !!
Gonna have top cop this just because it was Akira’s last project he had any involvement in.
I loved Sand Land when I was a kid, I will be playing it lol
I was immediately interested in Sand Land because it was obviously a work of Akira Toriyama (RIP). Dragon Ball is my favorite anime franchise of all time but I've been wanting to check out his other works and Sand Land looks so cool and unique but idk if I should play the game first or watch the anime. Definitely getting the game though, looks fun.
This game looking as good as it does...NOT having a photo mode, should be a crime. They should be in court for doing this to me.
How is there no photo mode!? Everything looks so cool!
Every game doesn’t need photo mode
After your review and Happy Console Gamer's review, I will be purchasing it. Thank you for the review.
I'll wish list this! Seeing Namco go in hard on using UE4/UE5 for their games, is one of their best moves ever!
I'm sick of UA-cam unsubscribing me from channels I want to watch WTF?? I had to Subscribe to your channel 4 times now.
Yk I'd have to ask, besides Naruto, AOT, and Death Note, has Matty brought up what anime/manga he's seen fully? Bc I dunno, I hate to be the one to say it, but it sounds like he doesn't know abt much anime at all. He likes the aesthetic anime has, and hey, maybe I'm underselling whatever his personal catalogue is, but man, he just gives me the impression he's still only scratched the service on this medium. (Also forgot to add Cyberpunk Edgerunners since ik he's seen that too. Still though, if anyone known what he's seen mostly, do lmk, whether it was in his patreon discord or publicly on his YT or other socials. Since what he's seen or liked isn't the biggest of biggies, but yk, since he does sell himself as yk, an anime encyclopedia, would love to know his credentials lol.)
might just take a leap of faith with this game
This looks really good
getting it for sure to honor Akira plus the anime is cool. i like it alot
Should we watch the anime first or is it fine to go in blind?
Don't you upload reviews on another channel? I got confused now lol
Glad to see there is more to the game. I watched the anime first and thought I had spoiled the game for myself
I didn’t really plan on buying it but now I will
Was really looking forward to this and the demo completely put me off and thought it was very dull. On the list for a purchase when it's on sale
What makes me willing to play is seeing Dabura in it. This is I guess in the demon world of DBZ?
From what I understand it's not Dabura. Just a similar looking character due to Toriyama's art style.
It reminds me of the Metal Max game
I remember being interested in this series when it was just a Manga and thinking "I wish it was an anime or a game or something, it looks so neat" and then all the media franchise push for Sand Land was announced, so yeah I think I manifested this game into existence.
Also the reason you might have felt like the game was going to end and it just kept going is probably because it was the ending of the manga and what happens afterwards is the extra arc created for the anime.
To the people who bought this. How do I get paint brushes? It’s a currency needed to paint your Vehicles but idk where to find it. The game doesn’t tell you in anything regarding it.
Dude looks like a wish version of Maximillion Dood. He’s just missing the glasses
Of course this game is a hit. Excited to play it.
In honor of Yama, it damn near is worth a buy. I’ll get it real soon, RIP Tori 🗣️💯
He was sacrificed for beelzebub to succeed
It’s innocent fun. It’s not complex or overly grindy. Kinda reminded me of Megaman 64 in its gameplay. It’s not it’s not Dragonball armored core, and I wish there was multiplayer and more customization with the vehicles but other than that it’s a decent play. P.S. If your good at strafing and management play on hard difficulty.
I really want a current gen one piece game similar to this
This game looks fun and awesome I love post apocalyptic games rpg games are my favorite
everyone playing this game should watch the show first, that anime is amazing, Toriyama’s last masterpiece
I didn't really enjoy the demo that much. But listening to your review. I might pick it up Once I beat Stellar blade.
I'm in the same boat. I thought the demo was straight-up bad. I do think it was just a presentation problem though. The game itself looks like it's better than the demo leads you to think.
@@dportnovI get the feeling they were too worried about spoiling things especially for something that had a manga out for years.
Not only did the demo have zero story beats, even the trailers vastly undersell just how many vehicles and parts are in this game.
YOU ARE AWESOME! ❤❤❤
Never watched DBZ or anything, so not a huge Toriyama guy
the game is easily one of the best releases so far this year
:) nice vid, I enjoyed the game!!! 8/10
5:10 just like Majin Buu and the blind boy in dragon ball z
I got the game, and I love it... And I am NOT Paid to say this... My problem is for the Hover Car, I can't find any Forest Raptor scales... And I need enough to make an Alloy for it... Just one but AAAAAAGH!!!! frustrating!!
Im nkt really an anime lover but i have got to respect the different style and quality of this game.
I don’t know the cartoon but this looks like the Mad Max game but for kids. Like Fischer-Price plastic toys Mad Max.
Could be One of the best game this 2024 👏
Looks interesting.
About 4 hrs in and my only critique so far is that, with the exception of the main character the voice acting is a little dry which makes the flow of the story beats feel a little more labored than it should be.
This is not my type of game, but damn it Matty you sold me!
I hated the demo. It bored the crap out of me but man... it sure is beautiful.
Banjo kazooie nuts and bolts, but it's anime?
Can’t wait for Dragon ball Sparking Zero ❤❤❤
I got whooped in the demo but I still wanna play it lol
The Darude Sandstorm trailer they released is hype AF.
bandai are the publishers. The devs are ilca that made bdsp
Open sandbox world BUT. Not boring because of linear story keeps you moving fun vehicles great characters and scoring
Thought this would be generic tbh, looks good.
The game is amazing … I’m loving it
After this review? I certainly will come payday.
What if Bandai Namco makes a new Naruto RPG title?
Is this our new Mad Max open world saaandbox? See what I did there..
Ngl blue dragon was fire of a game as well just kinda sad i could never really get into dragonquest like i love the story but the gameplay never kept me interested or addicted enough to play more then like 5 hours.
In terms of graphics, it's good. It's nicely rendered. The environments and characters reminded me of DBZ world but my biggest gripe about this game is the enemies A.I. level of difficulty in battle. Most enemies A.I. under normal difficulty is poor, to say the least. Enemies tend to just stand there and let you hit them. Enemies do attack but they do it in a "take turn" alternate pattern. For example, when you fight against two or more enemies in battle, you attack one while the others just either stand there blocking or run around wait for their turn.
I get a sense that this game is for kids but even so, the enemies A.I. shouldn't be so predictable.
I think 40 hrs is fine for an action rpg
i said this on HappyConsoleGamer's review (i'd love a collab by the way) 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 :')
Bro im playing on hard mode and tbh .... Im having more fun than i did on final fantasy remake pt1 . Keyword is FUN
I rent the games before I buy them sand land is to new never heard of it the demo was bad but demos do lie
Obviously not a masterpiece but it seems a quite fun game, playing it along side reading the manga and I find it quite enjoyable 😊
Il definitely be picking it up once I'm back from Japan
This game was NOT on my radar at all, it looks cool though, wishlisted!
Skoal?
Sandland is hyping me more than F4 or Starfield DLC...
... after Stellar Blade, Sandland is next on my radar
ok, after beeing too exhausted to play Stellar Blade atm (had some health issues this week), and after the huge disappointment of the Fallout 4 update (not even new games work with reinstalled mods on my Xbox SX.. wtf Bethesda), I took on Sandland, and im loving it!!
...
was worried, it would only be about as good as the last Dragon Quest Monsters game, but Sandland is a few notches better.., in all accounts!
...
Sandland is a suprise hit and adorable.., just a pitty woke sites do not seem to like Akira Toriyama.., they all hit Sandland the lowest :/
I guess Akira Toriyama (RIP) is the only mangaka Bandai Namco respects enough to not give any of his games a nib budget. Not like the other anime IP games they screwed over recently.
I played the demo at pax east and it was mediocre in my opinion
Yeah I don’t think that demo did the game any favours. The reviews make it look much better
The japanese VA is a must for this game. Fantastic game but borderline unplayable with the English dub
SandLand has a higher age requirement than Halo and i dono how to feel about that
