The story
The project tries to update and remodel the game Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 created by the Spike company with the new content that has appeared from Dragon Ball from 2007 to 2018, trying to be as faithful as possible to what the original creators were trying to achieve. representing the franchise in this frenetic game that simulates the most iconic fights of Anime.
What it’s like
Bright, saturated cel-shaded arenas with the flat, bold colour of the anime's original broadcast, where cratered wastelands, rocky plateaus and sky-filled stages fill the screen with rapid particle bursts and speed-line flashes whenever a Ki blast lands. The camera swoops and pulls back during big exchanges, and the game leans on the anime's signature theatrics: screen-filling power-up auras, dramatic zooms on clashing fists, and the familiar Japanese voice clips and bombastic orchestral-rock cues that rise with each transformation. Frenetic and loud in a nostalgic, early-2000s way, it feels like a fan's love letter to a PS2-era fighter, with a playful, unpolished charm that comes from enthusiasts remixing old assets. Its intensity is cartoon-stylised: punches and energy blasts constantly, with blood absent and defeat shown as fighters being blasted across the screen rather than anything graphic. It suits an evening of mashing buttons alone, a shared couch session with friends, or a comfort-play trip back to the Z-era. It is for fans who want to relive the most iconic anime battles, and for players who enjoy a fast, flashy fighter with an earnest, unofficial spirit.
