This looked fun, haven’t gotten around to reading the Sand Land one-shot manga, but Toriyama’s designs are always aesthetically pleasing.

i was really surprised of the announcement before realising they are making a movie out of that miniseries released ages ago.

Saw a youtube comment that summarizes my thoughts.

Mad Max DQ.
Random trivia:

In the original manga the MC (Beelzebub) is partly helping out because he gets a playstation with Dragon Quest 13 out of it.

Not sure they're keeping that reference.

Will need to get more details about the gameplay and structure but it looks really fun.
The overall art style and vibe seem chill

I'm a huge fan of Akira, but I'm not fully convinced yet this game looks anything interesting. Time hopefully wil change that.

This takes me back, I remember digging this back when it was released in Shonen Jump way back when. Might still have a few copies stored away. I'm most likely there day 1.
 
Love the art style. Big dbz and dq fan as well.

Hopefully it reviews well. I'll give it a rent. As long as its not digital only.

I've read the manga when it came out and I don't remember anything about it.

Toriyama style never gets old, anyway. Although the characters tend to look all the same.

The art style is gorgeous, lighting is particularly excellent taking the game’s aesthetics to the next level.

the oneshot came out in 2001 and was a very watered down manga. liked the atmo, but since it was only a few chapters long, iam not sure how you would create something out of it.

They are simply going to create a lot of new characters and storylines and put it in that world. They end up fighting like the red ribbon army of that world so that would be simple to create for. Plus sincehe is like the demon prince I could see him helping out demons he comes across and the old soldier will want to help out humans they come across. They could have the tank go down, deal with military checkpoints, and they also have to fight that swimming squad.
