The game combines puzzle, board game and card game elements all themed with Dragon Ball characters and the like, allowing players to face each other in puzzle-fighting matches. Though it's only gotten C-rate reviews, Dokkan Battle 's popularity is undeniable, since it has been one of the top-five highest-grossing mobile games in both Japan and America, which is why it's in the top Where the second Supersonic Warriors didn't make for a proper sequel, the original was one of Dragon Ball 's best handheld games.
Supersonic Warriors had great sprite design and gameplay, both of which were noted by critics and fans. Though the game had overall average reviews, we put it up higher than the sequel both because of all the new things it tried and because it was one of the best looking handheld Dragon Ball games of its time, just take a look at that those sprites!
Though its mechanics were complex and its graphics were simple, the game was well-received, many praising it replay value, since it took several plays to learn the battle system and get better at strategizing with it.
Budokai marked a new era for Dragon Ball games, since the series would go on to spawn multiple sequels. Budokai introduced a lot of new concepts and more or less established the template for many Dragon Ball games to come.
However, despite this and despite its favorable reviews, the Budoka i games needed some work to get to their peak, thus the first game ranks at Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2 started to take Dragon Ball games in the right direction, following in the footsteps of its predecessor to improve upon the formula. On top of establishing a cel-shaded art-style, Budokai 2 improved a lot about the Dragon Ball fighting game formula. However, in the long run, the game is still not in the top 10, sitting pretty at number 14, since it has a few issues that would later be worked out in future Budokai games, earning it underwhelming reviews.
On top of having some impressive graphics—which, for the time, were the closest a game got to looking like the anime— Burst Limit was one of the top selling games for three months in Japan. The game also got fantastic reviews, though it had its fair share of subpar reception as well.
Overall, Burst Limit was an interesting entry in the Dragon Ball franchise that could possibly be worthy of a follow up. Dragon Ball Fusions might not be the best game in the franchise, heck it probably deserves a lower rating based on gameplay alone, but it definitely earns a lot of points for the unique form of fan service it provided with its premise. The game uses Fusion as its main mechanic, and in doing so, it allows players to create the fusions they've always wanted to see, making for a fun element in an otherwise sub-par game.
Because of this fusion elements, Dragon Ball Fusions is relatively fun to sit down and play. Like the Nintendo Wii, the Nintendo DS had some sleeper hits that some overlooked because both systems appeared gimmicky, and one of the overlooked DS games was Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans , which came out in Attack of the Saiyans was an RPG turn-based styled game that had some stellar sprite art and fun game mechanics.
The sequel to Dragon Ball Origins wasn't quite as good as the original, which is why the first game in the series makes it into our top 10 best Dragon Ball games. Dragon Ball Origins is similar to Zelda games of the same time, utilizing top-down 3D graphics for gameplay that involved battling enemies as you encounter them, solving puzzles along the way. What made Dragon Ball O rigins so cool was the art style and the way it adapted the original sagas of Dragon Ball , making you feel like you were actually on the adventure.
After three Budokai games, Dragon Ball took things in a slightly new direction, creating the Budokai Tenkaichi follow-up series. The first game was released for the PS2 in , shaking things up with a new art style, and some new fighting mechanics. However, the first game in this series, like the first Budokai game, still needed some polishing, leading to strange-looking graphics especially in terms of shading and some sub-par controls.
But, overall, the game was well received, so it earns its spot in the top General When does Dragon Ball Super take place? Are Vegeta and Goku brothers? General Are Vegeta and Goku brothers? What does Kai mean in Dragon Ball Z? Who is stronger Goten or Trunks? General Who is stronger Goten or Trunks? Trending Blogs. Goku How old is Goku? Goku What episode does Goku go Ultra Instinct? Bulma How old is Bulma? General How to do a Kamehameha. The game still looks beautiful, with its in-engine cutscenes being especially impressive for While the fighting is stripped down mechanically speaking from the Budokai series, it still plays well and is faster than its predecessors.
While the Raging Blast series always felt like lesser versions of the beloved Budokai Tenkaichi, this doesn't necessarily mean that they were bad games. In fact, Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 is one of the more underrated fighters in the franchise. It even plays like a much more simplified version of Budokai Tenkaichi 3 which for some is welcome as BT3 is quite complicated for newcomers. Unlike many fighters with massive rosters, this game actually introduces at least one unique technique per character which makes them stand out much more.
Instead of retelling the story of the anime, the game has "Galactic Missions" which are isolated fights that focus on a path for characters from Goku to Tarble.
It may be a lesser version of later games on the list, but it's still a solid time. Most people assume that the Budokai line of Dragon Ball games ended with Budokai 3 , but that's not actually correct. Despite being on the weaker PSP, the gameplay is perfectly comparable to the PS2 classic and even makes some improvements to the formula. The Dragon Rush system from Budokai 3 is removed and the Ultimates come out much fast so the fighting isn't hampered by the need to appear cinematic.
While the story isn't the best in a Dragon Ball game , Another Road gets credit for having different paths depending on if fights are won or lost and for having an original story of Future Trunks dealing with Majin Buu in his timeline. The concept of Fusion in Dragon Ball is extremely popular for something that was introduced in such a divisive saga as the Buu arc.
But no other game focused on this idea more than the 3Ds game known simply as Dragon Ball Fusions. The premise of the game is so simple that it's astonishing that it wasn't done before; what if anybody could fuse with anyone else in the Dragon Ball world?
This game answers that question with amazing results as there is fan service in here from top to bottom. A huge open world to explore, satisfying RPG combat, and a bonkers story? You can want nothing else from a handheld DBZ game. Released in January , one would think that DBZ games have told the main story enough times at this point that players would be fed up about it.
But DBZ: Kakarot proves there is still juice left in the fruit. Kakarot is a single-player, story-driven RPG with combat similar to the Xenoverse series, albeit slightly simpler.
The presentation is where Kakarot shines however as it's the best representation of the main DBZ story ever in a video game. The side quests also have clever easter eggs for hardcore fans. It's not without its faults, but Kakarot is a meaty game worth its weight for any fan of the franchise.
In Japan, Dragon Ball Heroes is a hugely popular arcade trading game that debuted in Putting aside the occasional insane clip of a Super Saiyan 4 Gohan or Broly hitting YouTube, Western players had to wait until to get a proper taste of the spin-off series. World Mission takes place in a universe where Dragon Ball exists as an anime that spawned a popular card game.
Once the virtual and real worlds begin to collide, the protagonist must collect cards of their favorite Z-fighters to battle a wild plethora of villains. The story is cheesy, the turn-based gameplay has depth but is also incredibly repetitive, and there are hundreds upon hundreds of cards to collect. The last part earns World Mission a spot on this list.
This title arguably marked the first time that a DBZ felt authentic to the anime , at least in terms of presentation and action. All three titles are solid 2D fighters akin to the early Street Fighter games, although nowhere near as good as the best '90s entries in Capcom's license. Following the Budokai Tenkaichi series, Dragon Ball 's console games hit a bit of a rough spell.
