The distribution method for Sand Land is truly fascinating. The manga comes out in time for the anime, and the anime finishes just in time for the game, almost making all 3 companions to one another. And having seen all 3 for myself now, I can say this may be the first time in anime game history that an anime was adapted with the medium of video games in mind. I commend Ilca for their effort, and I honestly think that this should be the way to adapt short series into games going forward.
The game itself is pretty fun. This is not only the smoothest tank controls I've ever felt, but it also came with a cool story and lovable characters.
As for criticism, I can say that there should've been more banter, as the characters tend to repeat themselves frequently while you're driving around the map. And the hand to hand combat definitely could've used some work, since it's just hitting X and RT to dodge. There could've at least been Y for light attacks.
Either way, it's definitely one of Bamco and Ilca's better anime games. If you're a fan of Toriyama or anime games in general, this is absolutely worth playing.
