Summary

• Dragon Ball games have had hits and misses, with the likes of Budokai Tenkaichi 2 and Xenoverse standing out for their unique gameplay styles.
• Burst Limit impresses with stunning visuals and fluid combat, while Supersonic Warriors offers unique 'what if' scenarios.
• FighterZ stands out for competitive play, Dokkan Battle dominates mobile gaming with its animation quality and strategic team-building.

No other anime outside of Pokemon has impacted the world of gaming quite like Akira Toriyama's 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Ball. Dragon Ball, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Ball Super have lo♔ng been licensed to gaming studios, and new games c൲ontinue to be churned out like clockwork.

The games are definitely not all winners. For example, Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle 22 dropped into game stores without any fanfare or critical love. Yet, there are a bunch of them that are genuinely great. Some are wonderful because they're technically brilliant, while others stand out because they capture the spirit of the series. Out of them all, though, these are the greatest.

Updated April 22, 2024 By Ben Jessey: Sparking Zero is on the verge of release, so now it's a good time to look back on the best Dragon Ball games the world has seen so far. In an effort to do that, we've returned to our collection of the greatest to add a few more.

19 𓆏 Dragon Ball Z: Budokꦺai Tenkaichi 2

The Budokai Tenkaichi seไries is a favorite among fans. Yet, the original is fairly mediocre. It was the sequel that really helped popularize the series. While the reason for this can’t be put down to the box ar🍌t with Trunks and his blade, that certainly didn’t hurt, as it looks incredible.

More incredible, though, is ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚthe impressive roster in this title. While it might not quite be Tenkaichi 3, it still contains most people you expect to be in a DBZ game and some you don’t. On top of that, the arena fighter combat is fluid and fun.

18 Dragon Ball Xenove🉐rse 💫

One complaint you could have about Dragon Ball games is that they rarely veer from the classic Dragon Ball Z story. Xenoverse, however, does tell a more original tale, even if it isn't entirely different. The narrative revolves around two villains manipulating time to change the events of Dragon Ball Z.

So, you still play through the major DBZ moments, but the specifics of the events are a bit different. One major difference is that your created protagonist is now there. The 🌼game is an action RPG, so you build up your hero over the course of the game. Both the story and progression are fun, while the core combat is just fine.

17 Dragon🐽 Ball Z: Burst Limit 𒆙

The first thing to notice about Burst Limit is how beautiful the game looks; it makes a serious argument for the most beautiful Dragon Ball Z game. Few Dragon Ball titles include character models as stunning as the cel-shaded ones featured in this 2008 fighter. While Burst Limit's visuals are its biggest strength, it's not the only thing the game offers.

Battles provide plenty of substance to go with the game's style, as each fight plays out at a brisk and enjoyable pace. Even though it might seem simple at first, there is satisfying depth to the gameplay. If only there were more depth to the roster, as one of the few downsides to the title is its small set of characters. Luckily, all the main figures pre-Buu saga make the cut.

16 Dragon Ball Z Supersonic Warriors ♛

Most of the best Dragon Ball Z games simply re-tell story arcs from the anime. Supersonic Warriors is no exception, but it also includes multiple 'what if' scenarios. These unique stories play around with the well-known DBZ narrative to provide something different. For instance, at one point in Piccolo's scenario, he brings back and fuses with Demon King Piccolo to gain the strength required to take on Buu.

These somewhat original storylines are fascinating and spotlight characters who deserve some extra attention. The gameplay, on the other hand, isn't as groundbreaking, but it's enough to keep you entertained.

15 Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy Of Goku🦩 2

It's always nice when the DB franchise dabbles in other genres. In fact, some of the best Dragon Ball Z games don't focus solely on fighting, such as Legacy of Goku 2. This 16-bit title is an RPG that puts some focus on the adventures the characters have instead of just the big fights.

Of course, there are still many fights to be had in the game, but you don't jump from fighting Android 19 to immediately squaring up to Android 18. Instead, you travel around the immersive world of Dragon Ball, finding treasures and talking to people. On the whole, the exploration is fun, and the combat is simple yet oddly satisfying.

14 🦂 Dragon Ball: Raging𒆙 Blast

Raging Blast൩ aimed to take the formula for 3D, actioꦕn-packed fights to the next level with more cinematic elements and grand, flashy attacks. For its time (and even now), the game is a graphical masterpiece that expertly captures the style of the DBZ manga and anime.

Gameplay-wise, Raging Blast doesn't introduce many new elements to the series as it plays similarly to the Tenkaichi series. Yet, battles are still fluid and fun, even if the wonky camera can be annoying. Plus, it provides something the anime never did: Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta.

13 Dragon Ball Z: Xenoverse 2 ✃

The main issue with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Xenoverse 2, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:some♛thing you should know beforဣe playing it, is that it is similar to the first one. You're still trying to stop some villains from altering the events of Dragon Ball Z as a customizable protagonist.

Yet, out of the two games, the sequel is slightly superior. This comes from the fact that it's a bit more polished and significantly bigger. It's certainly bigger if you count the DLCs. This game has a whole host of additional content that was continually released long after the game came out.

12 Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi ▨3

Tenkaichi 3 remains one of the most talked about and beloved games in Dragon Ball history. A topic that generally gets brought up when discussing the title is its roster. This game has pretty much everyone. Joining the standard names like Goku and Vegeta are fighters such as Fasha, Spopovich, and Devilman. It's really the ultimate Dragon Ball Z toy box game.

This roster is best showcased during the underrated Mission 100 mode. In this mode, you have a set of challenge fights to complete against pre-set opposition, and you control a team of your choosing. It's pretty challenging and enjoyable to play.

11 Dragon Ball: Fusio꧅ns

Dragon Ball: Fusions is a surprising video game that few imagined would be as enjo♑yable as it is. As a Dragon Ball RPG, it is already a rare beast in the DBZ Universe. It is an off-the-wall RPG that focuses primarily on fan service, full of tongue-in-cheek references throughout the universe.

The game is 🐷a bit of an oddball that serves up a unique RPG experience, offering fans the sort of quirky content never really s🍸een in a DBZ title before. However, it can leave a few fans feeling a little off, so go into it with an open mind if you plan on diving into this bizarre journey.

10 🐠 Super Dragon Ball Z

When it released on the PlayStation 2, many fans didn't really care for Super Dragon Ball Z. The fast-paced gameplay of the Budokai and Budokai Tenkaichi series left fans hoping Super Dragon Ball Z would be an exciting action game, but what they got was a far slower-paced, technical fighter with far fewer characters than expected. Tenkaichi 3 had over 150 fighters, so it was a shock when Super Dragon Ball Z's roster fell far short of that mark.

But as time passed on, fans of well-structured fighting games re-discovered this hidden gem, 𒁏and remembered "Wait, this game was made by Akira Nishitani — you know, the guy who made Street Fighter 2." And you can tell. Plus, you get to play as Chi-Chi, which is a rarity worth celebrating.
