Sand Land’s Video Game Adaptation Is A Devilishly Good Time

Sand Land caught my attention as soon as I saw the game’s booth at New York City Comic Con last year, with its enormous recreation of the Royal Army tank. The game’s setting, character designs, and of course the tank, stuck with me, even though I wouldn’t consider myself familiar with much, if any, of Akira Toriyama’s work outside of some early exposure to Dragon Ball in my youth. And, despite being an East coaster, there’s always been something about the desert that’s appealed to me.

And while the main narrative certainly is compelling, going off and doing other things doesn’t feel ludonarratively dissonant or disconnected from what you’re doing. You’ll come across side-quests with some great story content, much of which adds to your reconstruction of a town that becomes your home base. The landscape of Sand Land is also gorgeous.
