Pros -This game brings back all the childhood nostalgia from 2007 - The what ifs are very cool especially gohan - Giant roster - The graphics are super duper clean - The controls are very simple and easy to learn took me about 10 minutes and was able to play properly - The custom battles are very cool can make your own type of story or even make stuff from the manga that werent shown in the anime - The beam struggles are very fun especially when you end a fight with it, just gives you that anime feeling Cons - There is no GT Saga story mode - Vegeta has a very short story compared to everyone else (ends at Majin Buu Arc ) - Spent 3 hours trying to get Porunga Dragon balls cause you can only get it by 1v1 a CPU and the drop chance is very low - If you are in a smaller region it is very hard to find online games unless you play with friends - CPU vs CPU is a bit broken (hopefully day 1 patch fixes this) - The CPU in normal battles compared to story mode are very different as in story mode its a challenge but in normal battle even on the hardest difficulty its not even close to the story CPU - Even though it is a giant roster some characters are sadly missing such as pikkon, super 17, bardock great ape(ssj ), grandpa gohan and etc And yes this game did stop me from touching grass for a while and will continue to do so.

This game is really great, but PLEASE for the love of god please add cross play platform. My friend has a Playstation 5 while I have a PC. We couldn't fight each other because we are on different platforms.. This game is really good, but add cross play platform. Now for the question "Is this game recommended?" Yes this game is recommended if you love Dragon Ball Z or like fighting games.

Really addicting, at first I went ah it's simple just mash punch or ki buttons. Oh wait a minute I forgot we got the dashes, the warps, the counters, the warp counters, ok well let's go through Goku's campaign and learn. Got clapped by Oozaru Vegeta for HOURS. Stayed up late grinding. Finally conceded and went back to training mode. Still struggled but finally got it. Now, it's a strange design choice to put a ridiculously tough fight, at least for people new to the game/series, as one of the first fights of Goku's story mode, but hey it toughened me up for the long haul. Long story short. Advice for playing the story or potentially against AI: - Play the training for a while, especially if you are new to the series, DOUBLE ESPECIALLY if you are new to the series AND fighting games. If you don't know how to warp counter, dragon dash, and know most of the basic/intermediate maneuvers from the tutorials, you will get pummeled. Definitely learn how to dodge most general special blasts as well (dash sideways if far away, can follow up with a Dragon Dash, can tap block right before it hits you as well but that is way tougher.). - Maybe don't do Goku's story first or don't be afraid to switch it up or go back to training when you are getting your face beat in. I am a stubborn SOB and should have went back to training an hour earlier than I did. - Get your defense right. I focused on attacking and cool combos first and my defense was garbage, didn't matter that I was getting some good combos off when I'm getting hit by most attacks. - Abuse specials, ki blasts, and full ki charging into Sparking mode if you need to. AI usually blocks special ki blasts instead of dodging, at least as I have seen so far. This allows you to stack up some chip damage. Sparking mode lets you mash X and potentially get an easy 20 punch combo. Loving the game. I miss the old days of playing a game, getting in-game currency, and unlocking more characters, costumes, items, etc. It's a fantastic gameplay loop and one I am so happy this game went with that old school approach. If you are a Dragonball fan it's a no brainer if the price works for you. If you aren't a Dragonball fan see if you like the combat style, it is tough at first but once you are trading blows and flying around it looks like you are playing a cutscene. Fun to see alternate routes in the story as well, another bonus for Dragonball fans. Can't wait to keep playing. Lastly, rest in peace Toriyama sensei, your work has had a profound impact on my life and you are missed, we will treasure this series for hundreds of years to come <3

So long story short for steam deck users. Yes it does work on the steam deck you just have to lower all the resolution to medium for example motion blur to medium and grass texture to medium. If you keep it on high the game will run slow Note: this is an edit on what settings works to make the game run very fast on the steam deck Anti-aliasing quality - off Shadow quality - off Texture quality - low Post-proessing quality - low Effect quality - low Depth of field - low LOD quality - low Grass quality - off Motion Blur quality - low Camera Shake - low And finally Destruction effect quality - low Also yes online does work and you can kinda cheat cause you can also map out the buttons in the controller settings so you have an extra good use for the L4,R4,L5,R5 Online was working for me but now like everyone else it now kicks me out too. I did get a good 4 matches in, I have no clue why it kicks people out now

I know they said they weren't going to worry about balance with respect to the power levels of different characters, but I really have to question the decisions of the developers that led to them including Mr. Satan in this game. I picked him once against a friend as a funny joke and he had to power up Gogeta all the way to SSGSS just to stand a chance against the Dragon Ball Delibird.
