Sand Land is an action RPG based on the manga by Akira Toriyama - the creator of Dragon Ball - under the same title. It was developed by a Japanese studio ILCA and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment.
Sand Land is set in a post-apocalyptic desert world, its inhabitants - humans and demons - suffering due to immense water shortages. The game's protagonist is the fiend prince Beelzebub. Alongside the Sheriff Rao and the demon Thief he sets out in search of the Legendary Spring hidden somewhere in the desert.
One of the most important mechanics of Sand Land is finding parts among the sands, then using them to build tanks and vehicles. Some can be used in combat, others only during travel.
The player has a base, which slowly grows into a bustling city as it's upgraded. Varied NPCs - many of whom already known from Toriyama's works - encountered by Beelzebub and his companions will move into the base as we progress.
The game runs on the Unreal Engine 5, but its artstyle is heavily inspired by Toriyama's. Sand Land is an exclusively singleplayer experience.
The manga Sand Land, which the game is based on, was serialized from May to August 2000. The series did not gain as much popularity as Akira Toriyama's other works - Dragon Ball and Dr. Slump. Twenty-three years later, however, it came back into the public spotlight thanks to the game and the first full-length movie based on the manga.

Sand Land promises to be quite a large RPG, in which no one should complain about the lack of activities to undertake. But size doesn't matter if a certain kind of ion isn't ignited between us and the game.

GameSpot: 6 / 10 by Richard Wakeling
Sand Land's fantastic vehicular combat and adherence to the source material are let down by bland and repetitive stealth, melee combat, and mission design.
Game Rant: 4 / 5 by Josh Cotts
Sand Land's story, characters, and progression are among its best features, all of which stand out in the JRPG genre and are fondly ed, even after the credits roll. While its open world may rely a bit too much on the open-world model that many gamers have come to dislike, its exploration still proves to be a rewarding venture that feeds into its satisfying progression system. ILCA and Bandai Namco Entertainment have created something worthwhile in Sand Land, suitable for fans of the original manga and newcomers alike.
God is a Geek: 7.5 / 10 by Chris White
Sand Land is a by-the-numbers anime adaption that is filled with great character design and some enjoyable vehicular combat.
