Dragon Ball FigtherZ is a 2.5D fighting game developed by Arc System Works and published by Bandai Namco where characters from the popular Dragon Ball universe fight each other. Unlike the previous Dragon Ball games, FighterZ uses the Tag Battle mechanics. We create a team of three different characters between which we can switch anytime we want to when fighting. Doing so allows us to execute powerful combos and special attacks.

Dragon Ball FighterZ for PC, PS4 and XONE is a fighter game where characters from the popular Dragon Ball manga (created by Akira Toriyama) fight against each other. It was developed by the experienced Japanese studio Arc System works (creators of Guilty Gear and BlazBlue fighting game series) and published by Bandai Namco.

Mechanics

Dragon Ball FighterZ for PC, PS4 and XONE uses the Tag Battle mechanics known from Marvel vs. Capcom and Tekken Tag Tournament series. We begin with the creation of a team of three characters. When in combat, we can switch between them in order to do powerful combo strikes and special attacks. The fight ends when all of our characters are left with zero health points.

Dragon Ball FighterZ is a fantastic fighting game, and worth playing whether you're into Dragon Ball and fighters or not.

Full Review

TheSixthAxis: 9 / 10 by Dave Irwin

2018 is off to a strong start with an Dragon Ball FighterZ early contender for this year's best fighting game.  By shattering some boundaries, Dragon Ball FighterZ has combat that's more than worth getting into, but also a diverse roster and some phenomenal presentation. The Story Mode could have been improved if it were more streamlined, but it's a mere blemish on an otherwise spectacular game.

Full Review

DualShockers: 9 / 10 by Ryan Meitzler

Aside from having an incredibly solid fighting game structure at its core, Dragon Ball FighterZ is a title that Arc System Works clearly treated with respect and love for the franchise that it is inspired by, and it stands toe-to-toe with the iconic anime and manga because of it.
