In the newest update of Anime Vanguards (AV), the newest Vanguard character Broly,
from the series Dragon Ball, has arrived with generous amounts of rewards for new and
old players, also bringing a new map and bug fixes.
Anime Vanguards is a game created by Kitawari on the popular Roblox platform, which
can be played on Mobile, PC, and Console. AV is a tower defense game that features
characters from popular animes such as Bleach, Dragon Ball, and JoJo’s Bizarre
Adventure. It is one of the highest-quality tower defense games, as most of the others
were hastily made and shared similarities in most aspects. Unlike those, AV has good
models, soundtracks, map designs, and has a dedicated team of developers.
In the update, three characters alongside Vanguard Broly were added as well as a new
dungeon and new events. A customization system was added for currency display as
well as new mounts, and three new codes.
The game itself can be complicated for newcomers, as there are mechanics like
evolving characters, which can take a while to do due to the number of resources taken
from certain modes. Rerolling character traits can be costly, for instance the amount of
pity, which is the chance to get a unit or trait in the game for rerolls is 1,500 for the
rarest trait, Monarch. This trait buffs a character three times damage-wise, however,
you could only have one unit placed at a time.
Positive Aspects:
AV also has several modes, such as dungeon raids, story mode, challenges, and boss
rushes. The story mode encompasses maps based on popular animes such as Planet
Namek from Dragon Ball Z and has bosses that are characters from that anime. It also
has an Away from Keyboard (AFK) chamber, which allows a player to get rewards while
away from the game.
The game has a large number of obtainable cosmetics for characters, such as the
Super Gogeta shiny skin for Gogeta Blue from Dragon Ball, who was added with
Vanguard Broly and Golden Frieza, also from Dragon Ball, who released with his Mecha
Frieza shiny skin in the new update. It added three new obtainable mounts and a new
obtainable familiar for units.
Negative Aspects:
AV could become costly if a player chooses to buy accessories from the game. For
example, buying rerolls costs 80 Robux, which is one dollar, and to get pity on the rarest
trait is 1,500, which would cost 1.5k Dollars.
Verdict:
Overall, I believe that Anime Vanguards is one of the best tower defense games on the
platform on Roblox, despite its faults, such as it can become very costly, the game is
mostly free to play, and the developers give large amounts of rewards. Nonethless, the
game is worth the cost as it will be helpful in the long run for players when resources become scarce.
