Sand Land Game Videos Preview Enemies, Vehicles, Other Updates

Bandai Namco has released a series of developer diary videos for its upcoming Sand Land video game adaptation. In them, the developers preview a handful of aspects of the game, including vehicles, combat, and the dungeon system.

The first video showcases dives into how combat and vehicle play work in Sand Land. In the game, 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.

When it comes to large enemies or other tanks, Beelzebub will have to take to a vehicle to fight. According to Bandai Namco, there are a handful of vehicles to check out, including tanks, motorcycles, and even Jump-Bots, robots made specifically for reaching high places.

The second video talks more about dungeons and subquests found in Sand Land. In the game, exploration is encouraged, with Bandai Namco noting that various places can be visited, including village ruins, military bases, and dungeon ruins, the latter of which are divided into small, medium, and large dungeons. Some of these can contain multiple levels as well.

Finally, the third video in the series is all about base building. Base camp in Sand Land will serve as a central hub for players to progress through stories, complete subquests, and build out a town for people to come and live.

Players will be able to develop the base by completing subquests, allowing for more people to come and live, which in itself will add to the things you can do in Sand Land.

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.
