The game’s namesake is its crown jewel. Unlike the main series that strictly follows the Z saga, Another Road introduces a "What If" scenario. The plot revolves around Future Trunks and his struggle against a new antagonist, Majin Buu, in his own timeline. The story mode plays out like a tactical board game, allowing you to move characters across a map, defend cities, and level up your fighters through a card-based stat system. It offered a refreshing break from the linear storytelling of other DBZ games.
