    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.

    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. Super moves, combos, even the way they move is perfect.
    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 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.

BUT, the story is very repetitive, and it needs more content for the Offline Audience, as outside from Arcade, Story, Local Battle, and a (well deserved) customizable tournament mode, there isn't much to do for the Offline Audience. Other than those minor complaints, I found this to be a damn near perfect Dragon Ball game, up there with Budokai 3 and Budokai Tenkaichi 3.… Expand

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).

    This game doesn't have a bad storyline the combat style fighting animations etc.. its perfect asf and mastering the combos and switching up to characters in online mode to finish combos for you is also pretty hard to master so yeah im not that good with words lmao so all i have to say that this game is excellent

    I usually don't play 2d fighters... but when I do.. it's FIGHTERZ.. Looks great and takes skill to master but still easy to pick up and play. A must have for any dragon ball fan

    Jeu très agréable à jouer pour faire passer le temps, ne pèse pas beaucoup sur le disque dur. Le jeu aurait pus atteindre la perfection en ayant un rooster plus complet ( surtout pour un manga comme Dragon Ball ) et si les temps de chargements n'étaient pas aussi le longs. 8/10

Regarding about its art style it is FANTASTIC, even if you play the game on a toaster it will still look great. The story mode ain't half bad, the only problem i had was with the AI of story mode, they passively attack and are boring to play against, not to mention you need to clear all of them to make your team stronger. competitive wise it is ONE OF THE BEST FIGHTING GAMES IN YEARS. I am 500 Hours into the game and still not thinking of not playing it.

    Many people criticize the game for the few characters it brings even 3 years after it was released. I bought the Fighterz Edition for € 14.95 this week and I am overwhelmed by how many different moves each character has.

    DragonBall FighterZ simply put, perfects the 3D anime style that has been struggling to find its footing for so many years. It's stylish, it's fast, it's high octane, it stays loyal to the series it comes from, and above all, it has fun, exciting, fast paced, rewarding, addicting gameplay topped off with the best animation in a 2d fighter on the market right now.

    Great fighting game, reminds me of Street Fighter in a way. All fighters seem very equal, so a Yamcha vs Buu fight could be interesting. If you’re like me though, fighting games like Street Fighter lose the excitement after about 3 hours of playing. But if you love those style of games, you’ll love this.

    This is a fighting game that fans of the original comic will love. However, solo play is very poor. Could it be that the story could only be done like this? I'm so sorry. The genre of fighting games also has poor accessibility. Nevertheless, perfect reproduction, great play.

    The best Dragon Ball game in a while, with great balance, beautiful animations, and of course all the best DB characters. The only bad thing I can say about the game is the fact there are too many characters hidden behind the paywall of DLCs

    This game is damn awesome. The best thing about this game is the fun gameplay. The controls are far better than DBZ: Kakarot, DB Xenoverse and even Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, COMBINED! The greatest fighting game of all time, absolutely no questions.

    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.
