Based on the three hours we spent with it, Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero looks like it's really capturing the series' power fantasy in game form.
Dragon Ball’s power and influence can not be contained in one type of media. Goku and the series’ iconic Dragon Balls are prolific in manga, television, film, and more. On the video game front, we’ve had plenty of Dragon Ball games over the years, too. The past few iterations of 3D Dragon Ball games have put large-scale and hectic fighting to the back burner a bit, which were more candidly present in the Budokai Tenkaichi series.
Skill Count is one of the core pieces of Sparking! Zero’s fight system. It’s expressed as a blue bar that charges over time and allows players to expend a certain number of energy for skills like Super Perception or Revenge Counters. Transformations and fusions are achieved through this system. It enables strategy and player choice in every bout.
I even find characters that only made an appearance in a fight or two before dying at the hands of Goku, like Raditz or the Ginyu Force. Though I have not sat down properly to watch Dragon Ball Super, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that I had the option to play as newer Saiyans introduced in the series, like Cale and Caulifla alongside their fusion Kefla.
The freedom of movement and scale of fights had me in awe. I found myself fighting underwater and blasting my opponent away into breakable objects such as boulders, trees, and small hills. I could fight and rush down an opponent in a wide variety of iconic locales at different times of the day, too. West City is especially striking in both the day and night variations.
Episode Battles: Goku In the final hour of the demo, I got to play through Episode Battles. This mode allows players to reminisce by reenacting seminal brawls in the Dragon Ball universe. Outside of Goku and Freeza, there are also Episode Battles letting you see different points of view of the overarching stories/sagas and control pivotal characters like Jiren or Trunks in their own narratives.
