The story
Dragon Ball FighterZ is born from what makes the Dragon Ball series so loved and famous: endless spectacular fights with its all-powerful fighters.
What it’s like
Bright, saturated cel-shaded fights in a hand-drawn 2.5D style, where the camera swoops and snaps between characters and every hit leaves a burst of colour and impact frames that feel pulled straight from a Saturday-morning anime. The palette runs hot: orange auras, electric blues, and flashy specials lighting up stages built from sunlit cityscapes, rocky wastelands and wrecked arenas, all animated at a bouncy, high-speed tempo. The soundtrack is driven by bright, heroic rock and synth cues, with punchy voice clips and familiar shouts adding to the rush. The vibe is loud, playful and adrenaline-fuelled, a hype-filled arcade energy suited to a lively weekend session with friends or a solo run through the story mode. Violence is stylised and cartoonish, with fighters being blasted through buildings and mountains but blood-free and nothing lingering or grim, so it reads as spectacle rather than cruelty. Fast and intense in its rhythm, it rewards quick reflexes and rewards repeat play. It suits fans of the anime who want to feel like they're throwing the Z-Fighters' signature moves, and players who enjoy competitive fighting games with a flashy, accessible hook.
