▍Sand Land Gameplay
Sand Land is a video game adaptation of Akira Toriyama’s manga and upcoming anime film of the same name.
The game, much like its source material has players controlling Beelzebub and his friends as they drive across the vast desert world looking for the rumored oasis somewhere in the desert. The game is a real-time action RPG with combat that can be done on foot as Beelzebub or with his signature vehicles, including his tank and jump-bot.
Beelzebub’s vehicles are also customizable, allowing you to slot in different kinds of weapons for certain situations, giving it more firepower and access to different utility and boost properties, while also making you a devastating threat to enemies on land or up in the air.
Certain vehicles also have an advantage on some terrain, like the Jump-bot being able to navigate the vast canyons of the desert, jumping up onto higher platforms and vantage points the tank wouldn’t be able to reach, while the tank is better suited for mobility across the sands.
