It seems alright, but from what I can tell, there's not much to it.įighterZ isn't just a great DBZ game, but a great fighting video game in general. It's very much a classic PS2-style "whole Raditz-Kid Buu story" throwback experience with more modern open-world RPG mechanics. Lastly, Kakarot, which I haven't played at all but I've seen some playthroughs. The gameplay and story don't appeal much to me personally, though, but there certainly is a lot of content. While the gameplay is more accessible than others in the genre, it can be very frustrating to play online at times due to lacklustre servers and the number of abusable BS mechanics.Įveryone shits on Xenoverse 2, but even though I've not played much of it, I can tell it's a vast improvement over the first Xenoverse, so that's great. A fairly anaemic roster and a really boring story mode. If you're just buying the base game with no Fighter Pass, FighterZ is quite light on content. The game is insanely addictive, the art style is gorgeous, all of the characters are polished and unique (even the Goku/Vegeta "clones"). Personally, I'd say FighterZ is the best by a fairly wide margin, but I am extremely biased to traditional fighting games. Only 3 games, but all of them are at the very least good. I'm glad that with this current gen of DB games, it's quality over quantity. It's the kind of game DB fans could only dream of a few years ago, so it's one you and everyone should play.
Kakarot is definitely the way to go, as it's a very massive game, with countless things to do and unlock.
You're better off waiting for that as you'll get everything in XV2, Plus its DLC and updates, plus new content. I wouldn't recommend XV2, as XV3 is probably going to be announced this year for a 2021 release. This is a massive game from a long story mode to all kinds of side quests. This game lets you relive the story of Raditz to Buu.
Kakarot : An open world RPG, story focused DBZ game. It will have around 50 characters by the time the remaining DLC is released, less than XV2, but the focuses here is on the fighting mechanics. Xenoverse 2 : A 3D fighting game that focuses on letting you make your own character and playing with a huge roster of around 120 characters.įighterZ : A competitive 2D fighting game that focuses on skill above all else. DB couldn't be in a better place right now, as there are 3 main games with each having very high production value.
We went from respectable games on the PS2 to unfinished trash for 7 years.
Though the game has been in development for a number of years, the high quality of each aspect of the game is surprising each time a new version comes out.You're lucky you didn't get into DB games on PS3 as 2008-2014 were the dark ages of DB games. Just like the scenes, all of the music is also completely original. Each of them have different special movements that were taken directly from the manga/anime.
It has characters from Dragon Ball Z and, right now, the following characters are available: Goku, Goku Super Saiyajin, Vegeta, Mr.
The game was developed using the MUGEN engine and it's being constantly updated. Instead, the game's creators have recreated the graphics from zero in order to make them look like the acclaimed graphics of games like Capcom from the 90s.
Unlike other fan-designed free games, this game doesn't borrow its graphics from commercial video games. However, Hyper Dragon Ball Z is designed for those who are nostalgic for that time. The golden age of the Dragon Ball fighting games was during the time of the 16 bit consoles, and they haven't had the same success now that they've moved to 3D on the more modern consoles.
