    Quite possibly the best 2D fighter ever made. This is why we play games in the first place. There have been decent DB games before this, but nothing close to FighterZ. The animation, combined with artistic graphics really set it apart from other games and it also beautifully complements the gameplay. It's so brisk, and is one of the greatest technical achievements in the genre and can't be avoided

    Brilliant fighting game.

    At first (because I usually don't play fighting games) I thought it was a simple game with auto-combo's, but when you watch videos of people on YouTube you'll quickly learn there is more to it than just hitting square-square-square or triangle a bunch of times. You really have to put in work to master the game and that's where the longevity comes into play.    Brilliant fighting game.

You really have to put in work to master the game and that's where the longevity comes into play. Because it's a 3v3 fighter you'll have to main at least 3 fighters which is a challenge on it's own. (for me at least)

    The reason it doesn't get a 10 from me is because of the whole lobby thing. Too much loading this and that just to start up a game. Loading lobby... Oh wait this lobby is full. Pick another one. Loading again. And then there is the whole people not starting a match so you just sit there staring at your screen for 60 seconds just because some guy isn't accepting the matchmaking session. I know that you can put it on automatic accept, which is what I did so I can put my controller down while it's searching and when I hear "HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER" I pick up my controller again.

    But overall this is the best Dragon Ball game in a long time.    … Expand

    Dragon Ball FighterZ brings a new 2D fighting style for Dragon Ball games. As a fan of Dragon Ball I love this game. This game has few characters than other Dragon Ball games, but both new style and new fight mechanic are pretty good. If you are a Dragon Ball fan you should play this game.

    Xenoverse is decent, but I haven't enjoyed a Dragon Ball fighting game this much since Tenkaichi 3.

    Dragon Ball FighterZ is an amazing game. It's accessible enough that anyone can pick up and play but still manages to have tons of depth due to the 3v3 format allowing you to mess with team synergy and special properties to make a characters game plan more complicated than you may initially find.

It picks back up in the villain arc before feeling more repetitive until you start nearing the end of the 3rd arc. The online play is great when it works. There are a few hitches with things like Ring Matches require you to reboot the game if it tells you there's no rooms, but even the 6 player party match runs smoothly at an average of 4-5 frames of lag. Even with 6 different connections, it only slows down when you're perhaps playing with someone over seas in the party.… Expand

    This game fills the hole that the anime fighting game community has been missing! Smooth game play mechanics, the auto combo system is great for beginners and will slowly teach players to learn actual real combos. A lot of people compare this to Budokai Tenkaichi 3, which is a much older unbalanced game.

Of course, this game is not perfect. One of the main problems for this game is in its story mode. While the plot is what you would expect out of Dragon Ball Z, the main means of progressing though it is incredibly tedious. Fighting through multiple hordes of CPU opponents can feel like a chore here. Though, I will give it credit for including these special cutscenes and rewards in its attempt to circumvent that feeling of tediousness. The second, and arguably the most irritating, problem here is in the match making. While the developers are remedying this, match making can be really difficult online, often making you wait up to 5 to 15 minutes for any stable matches. The only good thing to make out of this is how you would spend your time waiting for these matches to start, whether your sharpening your moves in Practice Mode, customizing your avatar in the lobby, or just interacting with players in general. Overall, it is a great experience for the members of the Fighting Game Community and the Dragon Ball Community.… Expand

    I've had my share of thoughts on "Dragon Ball" games before, and I've said my piece on the series as a whole, but those that have followed my game reviews know good and well that I'm an outsider to the "Dragon Ball" series as a show. I grew up on more of the "Yu-Gi-Oh!," "Digimon," and "Pokémon" crowd, and never really thought much of the "Dragon Ball" series. However, after seeing thisI've had my share of thoughts on "Dragon Ball" games before, and I've said my piece on the series as a whole, but those that have followed my game reviews know good and well that I'm an outsider to the "Dragon Ball" series as a show. I grew up on more of the "Yu-Gi-Oh!," "Digimon," and "Pokémon" crowd, and never really thought much of the "Dragon Ball" series. However, after seeing this game in action at E3 2017, I was actually kind of blown away by how fantastic it really looked. This didn't look like an ordinary fighting game, it looked like it was gonna be something really special, and with Arc System Works (the developers of highly-successful 2D fighters like "Guilty Gear" and "BlazBlue") at the helm, I had all the faith in the world that they would create a truly magnificent fighting game, and I must give them a shoutout for not only meeting my expectations, but surpassing them: this may well be one of the best 2D fighting games I've ever played.
    "Dragon Ball FighterZ" takes the idea of being faithful to the source material and ups it to eleven: with such a visually-stunning artstyle, a story and characterization that feels like "Dragon Ball" should feel, and even the awesome option to play the dialogue in either English or Japanese, it really feels like there's something here for any and all fans of the series. And if you're like me and don't know a thing about the franchise, fear not, because all we're left with is a fighting game with kinetic and lively visuals, a huge cast of characters, and incredibly fast-paced gameplay, topped off by a deep combat system that's accessible for newcomers, and technical enough to make into a competitive fighter. You wanna know how energetic and fun the game is? A lot of the story mode can feel like padding, since you're essentially doing the same thing over and over, but with interesting difficulty curves and such frantic, fun, fast-paced gameplay (and of course, the great story cutscenes), this is a rare example where even the padding sections feel exciting and don't get repetitive!
    This is it, this is the kind of game that I feel could very well be used as a benchmark on how to make a great 2D fighter. I feel like, when we look back on the eighth generation of gaming (and gaming in general, for that matter), this will be a video game that'll be a reminder of how you can make a great fighting game for almost any audience: fans of the source material, outsiders of the source material, casual fighting game fans, competitive fighting gamers, you name it, this is a game that has appeal to pretty much any group. And it just so happens to be a fantastically enjoyable video game, as well. I can't recommend it highly enough, go and play this game. Arc System Works, way to go. This is something special.

Xenoverse became a thing, creating a character was a fantasy of many DB fans but despite all the advances in the games, they never quite hit the point where they would be called a great fighting game.

    Until now.

    Dragonball Fighterz is one part Dragonball, one part Marvel vs Capcom and Arc system putting all there talent on display for the world to see. From the moment you start his game and turn it off it is dripping with style, Dragonball, anime and pure unfiltered hype. It features almost all of the norms from the genre, an arcade mode with varying pathways to take, practice, challenge, online battles, story mode etc.

    Story mode is probably the only thing to really note out of those modes, it features an original story starring Android 21, a new character designed by Toriyama himself. The story see's all the heroes dealing with these clones who are stealing their power and is told through multiple arcs. Its a neat concept and the actual writing and structure is different than the standard character locked chapter based structure Netherrealm has established.

    The gameplay itself is top notch. Featuring multiple auto combos, extremely simple commands for special and super attacks. Anybody can play this game, A complete novice can pick up a controller and within minutes will be final flashing people through buildings and landing 20 hit combos with ease.

    The easy access doesn't mean the game is without depth. Stripping away the layer of complex controls opens up the game to the part that fighting games don't get too usually unless you are at a high level. the mind games.

    Do i dragon rush? what if my opponent hits me with a down heavy to counter, do i vanish after starting a dash for a punish? Does he super instead? Maybe a tag switch to catch him off guard. The mind games and the back and forth when you're having a fun set with an opponent who starts to understand the game mechanics and puts stuff together to counter your moves is incredibly satisfying. Not since Soul Calibur has a simple session with friends turned into 3 or 4 hours vanishing from the clock and then realizing you haven't blinked for that whole time.

    Despite how incredible everything about the game is, one gigantic flaw can not be ignored.

    The online is a travesty. Matchmaking for casual and ranked fights works well enough, the game is pretty standard their and unfortunately doesn't enforce a strict 2/3 format in ranked play. The problem is, the above scenario I described above about playing with friends has only happened 3 times in over a week of playing.

    Every day, at least two attempts per day, it barely works. Ring matches are the only way to play with friends, and just hasn't worked. The game is supposed to feature a 6 player party mode, but as of this writing the most people we could get into a room was 2 at a time. nowhere near the 6 needed for it. They have patched the game and brought servers down but the problem remains, on all platforms.

    The online brings the game down a notch from the 5/5 it should get to a 4/5. a fantastic fighter first, and Dragonball game second. Arc system has created something new, fresh and exciting. Here is hoping the online gets fixed asap because right now its the only, but major fault in a brilliant game.

    Dragon Ball FighterZ is, undoubtly, one of the best games from the series.

    For starting, its a 2.5D game, unlike Raging Blast or Xenoverse, but thats not bad! On the contrary, its really good and the gameplay feels fluid and just right. On my point of view, the best part of the game is how loyal is to the anime/manga - the character moves are really really faithful to the fans.

    The graphics are pretty solid too!
    The story mode is quite simple. its very enjoyable, but simple, and the interactions between characters are quite interesting too. Once you finish story mode, you have arcade mode to play through.
    The multiplayer is alright - i see some reviews saying ''your enemies spam the same attack, you just block, etc''. This is common in every fighting game! Have you ever played Street Fighter online? There are LOTS of people using Ryu and Ken and spamming hadoukens. It's not the game's fault, its the players!
    The weak part of the game it's his ''small'' character roster. ITS NOT BAD, it's just small, but all characters avaiable, are useful. For example, Budokai Tenkaichi 3 or Xenoverse 2 had a lot of characters indeed, but once you unlock Gogeta SS4 or Vegito are you going to use Frieza Soldiers, Saibamen or whatever? I doubt it. However, that doesnt happen in Dragon Ball FighterZ , every characters is useful on its own way, I play more times with Captain Ginyu and Yamcha than i play with Gotenks or Goku Black! So, the point is, it has a small roster but you will use every character in it!
    That's the reason i dont give it a 10/10: there's lacking of fan favourites characters like Vegito and Gogeta or Super Buu even thought theres the new character Android 21.

    So, if you like fighting games, this one is a great one too! If you're a Dragon Ball fan, you will ABSOLETELY love it, however, dont expect a game like Xenoverse with many characters and customization!    … Expand

    Dragonball FighterZ is a very good and easy fighting game to pick up. It's great for new players and veterans alike. The combos are easy to learn, but pulling them off can be difficult. The specials are super easy, and anyone that can slide from down to forward or back can do every special move in the game.

The action is fast paced and truly feels like you're watching a fight in Dragonball. The characters are true to the TV shows and cover Z and Super. Dragonball GT is ignored all together, which is the way that most fans like it, myself not included, but I'll sacrifice SS4 Goku for a game that shines brilliantly.

    The music and voice acting are true to the shows in both English and Japanese, and neither language disappoints in any way.

    The cast of characters is great and is scheduled to keep growing with more DLC. The only downsides are the 3 different selectable forms of Goku (one form being selected should lock out the other two I think) and the overwhelming presence of Kamehamehas that come out. Other than that, I don't have any complaints.

    They even made Yamcha awesome for christ's sake! The guy that is the ass of every Dragonball joke is awesome in this game.

    There are so many reasons to buy this game, I can't even wrap my head around them all. If you like fighting games and you don't have this game, go buy it. Buy it right now.    … Expand

    This is the best fighting game in the last 10 years. Visually stunning, engaging story mode, excellent mechanics. The game is incredibly beginner friendly, yet has a great skill curve where the potential for high level play is nearly limitless. I honestly haven't had this much fun with a game in a decade. The attention to detail is profound.

Right out the gate the art style and flashy visuals may be the best ever seen in a fighting game and certainly the most accurate in a dragon ball game ever! The little touches show polish gleaming in every mode, menu option and character. The single player content is robust and satisfying. The AI can be a little all over the map and story mode can get a bit grindy but so does every fighting game ever. Unlockables are fun and cosmetic and easily earned through doing just about anything. Don't be put off by the fact that its a loot crate system, its implemented fairly and has no impact on the gameplay. The online and local play is where this game truly shines, the combat system is fun, fast and deep enough to reward practice. This isn't quite the depth level of a high profile Capcom fighter but still feels like a true competitive fighter at the end of the day. It's addicting, eye pooping gameplay with show accurate sounds, music and voices. They go the extra mile with features like robust replay lobbys, 3v3 team co-op matches and local play in-game tournament support. For someone like me both a big fan of Dragon Ball and the chaos of 3v3 brawlers, it doesn't get any better than this!… Expand

    JOGABILIDADE - Dragon Ball FighterZ apresenta uma jogabilidade totalmente satisfatória, fácil de aprender, consegue agradar tanto players casuais em jogos de luta, quanto os experientes. Os combos são muito interessantes de serem realizados, e os golpes especiais (como Kamehameha, final flash, etc...) são incríveis.

    HISTÓRIA - A história de Dragon Ball FigtherZ apresenta como vilã a Androide 21, personagem criado especificamente para o jogo. O game apresenta 3 enredos (arcos) diferentes para o jogador, onde enfrentaremos vários clones dos personagens do anime para chegarmos até a batalha final contra a Androide 21. A história dos 3 arcos são interessantes e bem contadas, porém, para chegarmos até a ultima luta, enfrentar clones por muitas vezes pode ficar enjoativo.

    PERSONAGENS - Aqui está um dos principais problemas do jogo, Dragon Ball FigtherZ apresenta poucos personagens, contando apenas com os principais do anime (como Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Bills, Freeza, etc...) e a vilã androide 21. Cada personagem tem golpes únicos e apresentam várias variações de golpes e combos diferentes, mas outro ponto que o jogo peca é o fato de que todos são competitivos entre si e não apresentam muitas diferenças de força, por exemplo, no game quando dois jogadores do mesmo nível se enfrentam, Yamcha pode vencer normalmente o Bills, ou Kuririn derrotar o Hit (fato que no anime isso seria impossível acontecer).

    The game really lacks technical play online, even in Competitive matches: opponents just spam combos because they are so simple, and while at first I liked this because it allows for more accessibility to newcomers, it allows for much less skill and use of mechanics in comparison to other fighting games. Combos do less damage than in other fighters (except for some ultimate moves that do WAY too much damage for being so simple) to offset the easy inputs, but it is still a spam fest. The combat basically consists of repeating combos and then doing aerial punishes at any slight opening.

    Also, there should be a penalty for rage quitters. There isn’t one, unlike most other fighters, so there are SO many people that rage quit before they are even close to losing, which is super frustrating. Also, the matchmaking isn’t very good. I have 130 something wins right now, I don’t play a ton but enough to have that many, but I often get matched up against people with 300+ wins, and I get wrecked.

    The core gameplay is still relatively fun, and I like the graphics, I just don’t love this game nearly as much as in the early stages, especially when there are so many other good fighters right now. I am not the best fighting game player, but I’d say I am above average, and thought that this game was balanced for newcomers and skilled fighters alike. But to me, there isn’t much middle ground here, just spamming by newcomers or average players, or extremely skilled players that destroy.    … Expand

    ONLINE GAMEPLAY: Absolutely horrid. I will say there was very little lag though, but my god that will not matter. With the "Newcomer Friendly" gameplay, it makes it almost impossible to play. You're opponent will spam the same moves.... over.... over... and over.... Sure if you "get good" you will learn to block certain attacks. However, combating designed game flaws does not equal enjoyment. Maybe if health bars were increased, and space was expanded it would be ok.

    However, you have two imaginary walls on each side that your opponent will use to their advantage. There is a reason this particular style of gameplay has gone mostly to the wayside. You will consistently run into people who spam consecutive 64 hit combos with stacked ultimates or they use the borders to pop you up in the air while switching characters. It is truly infuriating. Sure I could spam the same defensive move to counter it over and over again, but WHERE IS THE FUN IN THAT????

    Its an absolute spam fest, which is truly a shame since there is so many cool animations and cool fan service in this game. You may have watched the trailers, you may have watched the developers play the game, but that will not be your experience.

    Rarely you are matched with a similar player who wants to enjoy the game for what it is, and those can be some really fun match-ups. You will also be paired with weaker opponents which can be fun so that you can do whatever you want... but thats 1/4. There is no real "skill" to this game.

    The pacing of the fight takes away from all that could be great for this game. You will play this game for 2 days, and then you will never play it again. So, if you have $60 burning a hole in your pocket, and you want to drop the Zeni to get yourself immersed in Dragonball... Then go ahead. If you are a casual gamer who doesn't care about DragonBall, do not get this game!

    So what I mostly hate about it is that majority of your abilities are locked behind combo's where each character has only 2 abilities which can be used at any time. So compared to previous dragon ball games where you could spam freely abilities, you are very locked here.

    it feels like all characters are similar to each other and that the abilities are just "filler" spells as everything is connected to combo's only.

    I remember amazing dragon ball games back on psp's and playstations, then xenoverse got out, which actually was horrible too. so yeah definitely a **** game from my perspective.    … Expand

Fighters is overall a solid game with features from previous dbz games coming together in a package that I hope future dbz games adapt. But that's where my praise for fighters ends, the story mode and lip sync for English voices were average at best, the lobby when connected online disconnects often, the game shouldn't be $60 consider the low character count, short story mode, and short arcade mode. The fact this game is receiving high reviews is disrespectful to old dbz games like tenkaichi 2&3 which gave you so much content and was more true to the dragon Ball anime. I'd recommend to buy this game at around$20-$30 for anyone not a 2d fighting game fan because this game is made for them instead of the dragon Ball fan. The counterargument is always that unique characters are best in a fighting game but dragon Ball is not your traditional fighting franchise if you want a fighting game with unique characters why not buy the other hundreds of 2d fighters out there why stamp the dragon Ball name to a game just so the people your targeting can have a crappy experience if they don't like the side scrolling 2d fighters? If your the casual dragon Ball fan there is not a lot of content there for you and the game will grow stale but 2d fighting fans will enjoy it. This is bandai namco's sad attempt to increase sales by getting dragon Ball fans to buy it by attaching dragon Ball to the game DON'T FALL FOR IT!!! And if Bandai is reading this give back to the fans and remake a game for the fan which is the tenkaichi series of games.… Expand

    The soundtrack doesn't sound bad. But DBZ fans will be more than tired of hearing the songs of the game. I am not sure about how much music has actually been recycled from previous games, but it feels like it's the same music we have been repeatedly listening to since the good old Budokai days.

    The story mode has been upgraded from static pictures with boring dialogue to slightly animated scenes with a slightly improved plot. Not enough, really.

    Last, but not least, let's talk about the frame rate. Playing on a plain Xbox One or PS4 I have the feeling that the animations run at 10 fps at times. There is a lot of room for improvement.

    Bandai Namco has made this game for the fighting game fans, not "casual" players that only play the story mode or wants various single-player content, but simply for those who wants to play against each other by playing online or offline in a 3v3 tag system similar to the Vs franchise by Capcom.

    That being said, the presentation of the game is by far the best aspect of the game, the graphics are extremely similar to the original material, meaning if you take a screenshot of the game, and put side by side by the anime, sometimes you couldn't tell the difference. The music of the game is also very good, not perfect or amazing, but well done.

    The roster of the game is a bit disappointing, give there's only 24 characters in the base roster (which is few, given is a 3x3 game), but not only that, but there's many characters that feels the same, and very few of them feels unique (Android 21, Hit, Beerus), in addition to that there is some slots that could be utilized better (i'm looking at you Goku Blue, Goku SSJ and Goku Black).

    Now to the gameplay aspect of the game, as mentioned it's similar to those familiar with games like Marvel vs Capcom, Guilty Gear and Blazblue, given the fact it was developed by Arc System Works, the same company that developed the last two games prior mentioned, meaning that mechanics like air dash, double jump, flashy supers and combos. And there's exactly where the game also starts to be a letdown, since it doesn't offer many defensive tools like Guilty Gear or Blazblue has, resulting in almost every character dealing blockstring situations, where if you opponent knows how to play, you won't press a button for like 10 seconds or more if you don't want to be "combo'd", there a pushblock mechanic, put it really doesn't work well like the games that has it like Marvel vs Capcom 3 or Under Night, where if you used well you could revert the situation. And the result of that is a game focused on pure offensive side, which is bad for competitive players.

    The top 2 worse aspects of the game are the lack of a proper menu, since when you start the game you're put into a online lobby where you move around your character and select the options scrambled across the game that represents the menu options. And the major problem of this game as of the moment is a lack of functional online, since you get disconnect many times, you can't proper play in a lobby if your friends without some inconveniences, and sometimes you get get disconnected for no reason when you're playing a match, and the list goes on.

    Dragon Ball FighterZ is a good game, but it fails to deliver in some aspects like online play, lack of character variety and weak story mode, that compromises a game with excellent presentation and a solid gameplay (given a few flaws).    … Expand

Also, the amount of offensive options as that exist compared to the almost non-existent defensive options in the game make every character fall into the rushdown archetype.

The game's got superb graphics. Arc System made the right choice when they went back to cell shaded animations instead of the disgusting manga style animation we had in Ultimate Tencrapchi and Raging Blast 2. The music is entertaining but not as good as it was in Budokai 3. The story is pretty drab. The Z fighters have lost all of their power and have to regain it by fighting clones of themselves. Android 16 is back and the new Android 21 joins the fray. While its nice to see the Z fighters back in action together, the story is rather dull. The voices are not synchronized with the animation of the characters mouths. This seems to be something they'll never get right in a Dragon Ball game. However, the story mode isn't the bread and butter here, it's multi-player. There's a multi-player lobby where you run around as a little Chibi character. This is kind of cheesy because the multi-player lobby in Xenoverse was a lot cooler. You got a full size character there. Anway, you can play matches 1v1, co-op, story mode, and various other modes. You earn Zeni to buy costumes for you Chibi character. Multi-player is disappointing. The controls are cumbersome. An inexperienced fighter needs to merely button mash to get the upper hand while you are still trying to pull off a proper combo. An experienced player who has mastered the controls will keep you locked in a corner. Being able to move and get out of the counter or block will spell your untimely demise. It was easy to break being locked in a combo in Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3, Raging Blast and Xenoverse. Dragon Ball Fighterz really punishes the player. Super moves and Ultimates aren't easy to pull off in the heat of combat either. In addition, characters lack good super moves. For example, Adult Gohan will only do his Super Kamehameha if you pick Gotenks as a member of your team. Otherwise he'll do a Family Kamehameha. Even worse, you can't power up through the levels of super saiyan. Nope, you go super saiyan at the start of the fight and will not transform back to base, go super saiyan 2, or super saiyan 3. The only time Goku goes super saiyan 3 is during his ultimate, and it's one of the weakest supers of the game at that. You can get the base forms of characters like Goku and Vegeta, but you have to buy them. Budokai 3 came with over 40 characters, included transformations and fusion with Potara earrings out of the box. What DIMPS or Arc System really needs to do is make an updated version of Budokai 3 minus the Dragon Rush mode and a revised capsule system. Kind of like the one used in Infinite World. However, game developers are more interested in making a quick buck off a new DBZ title with the same old story and just doing things a little bit different from the last DBZ game. I will continue to wait for a true follow up to the Budokai series but it may be a long wait if not never.… Expand

That by itself wouldn't be so bad, however with the lack of tell in most moves, It becomes almost impossible to defend successfully (except for the computer, which manages to guard quite often). This makes the fighting extremely simple: just spam attacks until you manage to kill the enemy, which is why I feel most of the complaints about the fights just requiring button spamming to win are justified.

    2D is bringing a lot of authenticity to the DB game series. 3D format peaked with Budokai Tenkaichi 3 in my opinion... so it's good to finally see a positive change.
    A couple of bad points though:
    - Character list is somewhat small... - in-combat transformations are cool. bring them back please! - all characters play pretty much the same. It does help levelling, but I would prefer more    2D is bringing a lot of authenticity to the DB game series. 3D format peaked with Budokai Tenkaichi 3 in my opinion... so it's good to finally see a positive change.

    Bargain bin effort with just around 20 characters. All the extra ones cost a grand total of another €80, which is a scam. Budokai Tenkaichi 2 & 3 had over 100 hundred characters and were way bigger and detailed than this.

    The loading screens and pop-ups are ridiculous. Going to the lobby gets you more than 5 pops and take longer to dismiss than an actual match.

Budokai Tenkaichi 2 & 3 had over 100 hundred characters and were way bigger and detailed than this.

    The loading screens and pop-ups are ridiculous. Going to the lobby gets you more than 5 pops and take longer to dismiss than an actual match. Local battle rewards aren't transferred, so it's broken.

    The story is slow, short and has a time-filler system that lets you fight clones 95% of the time. There are Lootboxes that you can buy with in-game currency, but are also purchasable with real money if you don't want to grind. The lobby is the menu, and it's confusing.

    Fighting is fast, and the button combinations for moves are too complicated to be enjoyable. It takes time before you master them each time, and is therefore not easy to get into if you just want to have a match with a friend.

    Animations look good, but sadly are just as repetitive as the story mode. This is a €10 game that should include all the the characters. But it doesn't, so i can't recommend it. I give it a 5/10. It's underwhelming.    … Expand

    Как игра для фанов это может быть из себя представляет. Но как файтинг это полный провал. Никакая механика, происходит рандомная куча мала. Как файтинг даже dead or alive будет получше

    A Dragon Ball fighting game that we’ve been waiting for since forever loosing hope along the way. It was designed with obvious deep understanding of the source material, visually it’s almost undistinguishable from the anime and it embodies the 'easy to learn, hard to master' rule, which makes it both interesting for BlazBlue veterans and accessible to newbies lured by the Dragon Ball license.

    The single player modes aren’t particularly engaging, and the broken online makes engaging in the multiplayer take way longer than it needs to. Those lucky enough to have a thriving local fighting scene are the real winners here until the servers are sorted out. FighterZ isn’t entirely my thing, but it’s easy to see that it’s as well-made, polished, and fanservicey as humanly possible.

    Never before has a game felt and played like Dragon Ball to this extent. Both hardcore fighting-game fans and casual players are in for a treat.
