About this game
DRAGON BALL FighterZ turns its battles into a team exercise: choose three fighters, bring a teammate into the action and connect attacks through tags and support. The recurring decisions involve both the fighter currently taking the lead and how the rest of the team contributes. Anime-style visuals carry the confrontations, while an original story featuring Android 21 provides a separate scenario to follow. On Switch, repeated-button combos and the Extreme Type control option provide alternative ways to execute attacks, including super moves triggered with simultaneous button presses. Local battles support up to six participants, with a controller required for each player. These options sit alongside the standard three-fighter team format.
Collected in series
Dragon Ball games turn the manga and anime’s battles into fighting games, character-building adventures and action RPGs. You might assemble a tag team, create your own fighter or revisit Goku’s journey between explosive encounters.

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
A promising fit for players who want familiar Dragon Ball battles built around team coordination.
Tags and support make the team itself part of the decision-making, which should appeal to players who enjoy developing combinations between characters. Simplified attack inputs offer a way into those battles, although choosing and coordinating three fighters remains a separate learning task.
Strengths
- Tag and support mechanics give team selection a practical role beyond choosing favourite characters.
- Automatic combos and simplified super-move inputs can help newcomers begin experimenting with attacks.
Weaknesses
- Players who prefer concentrating on one fighter may find the standard three-character team an extra commitment.
Who it is for: Dragon Ball fans interested in practising character combinations and sharing local battles.
Play notes: Each local participant needs a controller; the supported player limit does not remove that requirement.
