About This Game

Dragon Ball FighterZ is Arc System Works filtering the anime through a three-on-three team fighter that looks, frame for frame, like the show. Beneath the spectacle sits a genuine tag system: assists, sparking combos and character swaps build into long, high-damage sequences that reward practice, while an auto-combo path lets newcomers land something flashy on day one.

The visual fidelity and depth are what critics single out; the friction is a lacklustre story mode and online netcode that has frustrated players since launch. It suits Dragon Ball fans who want their favourites in motion and tag-fighter enthusiasts chasing combo ceilings alike, as long as the offline campaign is treated as a bonus rather than the reason to buy.
