DRAGON BALL FIGHTERZ

A message for Mr Akira Toriyama ..
Thank you for everything you did,for what you created and for the legacy you left behind! Every time i play a game inspired from the Dragon Ball Universe i remember moments from my childhood and the joy to watch a new episode from the iconic anime. Thank you for making my childhood better ! Rest in peace!
Dragon Ball FighterZ is 2d fighting game,a visual marvel that captures the essence of the beloved Dragon Ball franchise. Every character and animation is rendered with incredible detail and the fast combos and finishing moves mirrors the iconic style of the anime we all know and love.
Pros:
- The art style and graphics faithfully replicates the look and feel of the anime,the attention to detail is incredible, to be honest i didn't expect this level of quality,the videos on youtube don't make this game justice because it looks a lot better
- Expansive rooster,each character feels unique with their own set of moves and special abilities that stay true to their anime counterparts
- Easy controls,beginner friendly allowing new players to execute impressive combos without needing to memorize complex inputs
- Each battle is spectacular with fluid animations and special effects and impressive sound effects heightens the excitement of the battles
- Packed with iconic locations,signature moves and memorable quotes
Cons:
- The game is easy to master in single player however for pvp there is a lot to learn,to master mechanics and strategies requires significant time and practice
- Unfortunately to unlock some of the popular characters you need some DLC,this may feel like a cash grab
My review score
Story - 9
Gameplay-10
Graphics- 10
Sound - 10
Overall - 9,75 Simple ,fun and rewarding! It's the best Dragon Ball game i played so far and i strongly recommend for everyone!

TL;DR: Dragonball FighterZ was Marvel when we needed it most.
Honestly, this isn't really a review. I just need a space to say my piece here, because there's so much I can say about this game. From launch to current version, so much has changed.
I'm speaking to the other folks with a few hundred or thousand hours in here - Remember when A16 got a hard knockdown from a command grab? Remember watching Bardock's super 4 times every set? Remember when people thought Z Broly was bad? Remember the menaces of Kid Goku, UI Goku, Fusions? Remember Labcoat (not like you'd have to dig very deep)? Do you remember how much your characters changed, from patch to patch? Do you remember going back to an old team and feeling nostalgic? Do you remember reading patch notes and feeling like you were so betrayed, or so uplifted? Do you remember when she said "rollback" - and before the translator could even think about speaking - the crowd exploded? Do you remember cell screams?
I apologize for being so sentimental in a literal steam review, but damn man, this game showed me that every hour you put into a fighting game can be an hour you get out. I'll admit, the IP does make it. Even your dad knows Goku. But that's all part of it. I never really did comics or their movies/shows/related media, but I did watch Toonami. I did watch Krillin explode. I did play Budokai, Xenoverse, the WORKS trying to feel like I was a super saiyan, chasing some kind of high. Nothing came close to DBFZ. I feel like a fucking warrior playing this game.
It's not for everyone. Absolutely not. It's SO hard to get your homies on discord to play the stupid unlimited gokus fighting game with you. But for what it was and what it did for me, this game is my GOAT. The bar everything else will be held to. I feel so lucky I had it, have it, and will have it (WITH ROLLBACK!) in the future. I will be playing this game in the nursing home. I will be playing it if and when my consciousness separates from my body. And I'll probably play it today, too.

Rest in Peace Akira Toriyama. I am 27, almost 28...been watching Dragon Ball since I was 6-7 years old on toonami. Not only is DB my favorite, it also opened more doors for more animes. Helped me through bad times when I was addicted to pills (4 years clean now). I don't care what society expects of me, but DB and anime in general will always be apart of my life and made me who I am today. Call it corny, its just pure love I had for this anime. Sleep in heavenly peace and thank you so much for everything you did for me and millions of others, if not billions. I don't really have much family, no friends or social media...so I thought this would be the best place to post this. Raise your hands high and lets give Akira our energy for the last time for massive spirit bomb! <3

In Memory of Akira Toriyama
Dragon Ball Fighterz is one of the best fighting games of all time. It is still enjoyable to play, even after all the years have passed since its release. The combo extensions feel amazing and rewarding, and the high-end anime graphics are top-tier, with endless spectacular fights with their all-powerful fighters. As a DB hardcore fan, this takes the cake as one of my favourite games from the franchise to date, and the game itself is well worth continuing to play.
Many aspects that make the game even more special are:
Source Material:
Characters from all Dragon Ball series have unique combat styles, combos, mechanics, and ultimate attacks; each character has different interactions, bringing a cast of characters known all across Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super, and Dragon Ball GT.
(Personal opinion): Even though there are no more updates, if there is a small chance of a sequel or a new comeback of DLC updates, the game can still improve by adding new characters and maps, as it currently has a total of 44 characters, including DLC characters. Here is a personal list of characters that I would like to see in the future: 
Dragon Ball Z (including movies and Ovas)
Raditz, Turles, Future Gohan, Pikkon, Tarble, Android 13, Lord Slug, Tapion, Bojack, Dabra, Super Boo, Hatchiyack, Garlick Junior, and Mecha Cooler.
Dragon Ball Super (including the movies DBS: Broly and DBS:Super Heroes)
Goku (SSJ God), Toppo, Dyspo, Cocotte, Beast Gohan, Orange Piccolo, Gammas, Ultra Ego Vegeta, Granolah, Future Trunks (DBS), Whis
Dragon Ball GT
Goku (SSJ4), Vegeta (SSJ4), Uub, Super 17, Omega Shenron
Notable or guest characters from other DB series, such as DB Heroes and DB Xenoverse
Towa, Mira, Aeos, Vidro, Demigra, Robelu, Chilled, and the and the Supreme Kai of time.
Continuing with other aspects of the game:
3vs3 Tag/Support
Team-based with different characters with sharpening skills to master high-speed tag combinations.
Online Features
Ranked matches, interactive lobby, avatar lobby, online multiplayer.
Exclusive Story Mode
The story you can either play between the Super Warrior arc, the Enemy Warrior arc, or the Android arc, also featuring Android 21, is that she is a solid addition and a brand-new character whose creation was designed and supervised by Akira Toriyama himself.
Spectacular Fights
very detailed, unique combos, destructive stages, and iconic scenes through the end of a fight, as well as dramatic or destructive finishes.
Something that bothers me is that I used to play this game on the console before playing on the PC. The net-code is not only atrocious but also the online connectivity, where sometimes the network adapter drivers get outdated and are required to be updated to have a better experience. Even so, it seems it has improved. Fighterz is easy to learn but difficult to master; its life is challenging but fun, whether played online or offline.
Overall, DBFZ is a unique addition to the list of Dragon Ball games, and I highly recommend it. DLC prices are quite high; it is recommended to buy when there is a discount to have a full experience.
Above all, this game is made with passion and is faithful to its source material. So buy this game ASAP.
And Thank you Akira Toriyama for making our Childhood, legend will not be forgotten

I cannot think of any other DBZ game with models, animations and effects this refined. Great job Arc System Works! Even if there is room for improvement, the game looks gorgeous. That game is almost 7 years old; which is impressive. DBFZ2 when?

this game is REALLY good. The moves feel good to use its fun you feel cool using them its just all around a good game. one problem is its still 60 DOLLARS after 5 YEARS which i think is a bit ridiculous. Wait for a sale though since on Christmas i was able to get it for 6 dollars so at least the price drops are huge

I really like this game, combos are clean, animations are so good and the gameplay feels so nice. I just wish there were more characters in the game that were not DLCs
