ILCA and Bandai Namco's Sand Land is a faithful adaptation of one of the late-career works of legendary manga artist Akira Toriyama, telling the same general story as its source material while also adding in new characters and locations created by none other than Toriyama himself. One of the most important inclusions in Sand Land's gameplay are its vehicles, which act as much more than simple modes of transportation across the game's open world. Vehicles in Sand Land have a robust customization and progression economy and are the backbone of the game's combat, which makes Sand Land's use of melee feel like an afterthought in comparison.
