Handheld systems saw their fair share of quality Dragon Ball Z games, and Attack of The Saiyans is no exception. Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans Image Credit: Bandai Namco It might sound silly, but if that puts you off, you probably haven’t watched a lot of Dragon Ball, 7. This somehow results in the fabric of time and space disintegrating, and a whole new tournament where fighters from throughout all timelines compete. Two Earthlings, Tekka and Pinich summon Shenron and wish for the greatest martial arts tournament of all time to take place. There is also a completely original story on offer. If you’ve ever wanted to see what Nappa and Raditz would look like sharing a body, then your ship has finally come in. There is a decent enough strategy RPG going on in the background, but Fusions’ big draw is the ability to fuse any two characters from the franchise into one. What would happen if any character could fuse with any other? The answer is about as ridiculous as you’d expect. Dragon Ball Fusions owes its existence to one simple question. This slightly bonkers 3DS game is fan service through and through but still manages to be entertaining.

Even unlocking all the characters is a bit of a drag with some of the AI enemies you have to defeat is a little frustrating. Huge sections of the roster feel redundant with similar movesets and there really isn’t that much to do. Ultimately, Raging Blast 2 feels a little bit underweight.
There are other games on this list that offer the same (as fun here as it is elsewhere) combat and have a story to play through. The problem is that Raging Blast 2 doesn’t really offer anything worthwhile in its place. We’ve all been through the story of Dragon Ball Z before. The lack of a story mode in itself isn’t that big of a deal. There’s no proper story mode, and the combat system is just a little oversimplified. Unfortunately, it doesn’t really go beyond that. It’s an arena fighter, with a large cast of characters, and simplistic but serviceable gameplay. There is a lot of overlap between various Dragon Ball Z games, and Raging Blast 2 is a lot like some of the other games on this list in many ways.

The story mode only gets you as far as the Cell saga, and the roster is embarrassingly small, with only 21 playable characters. Where Burst Limit lets itself down is in everything outside of the gameplay. They’re an interesting idea if nothing else. You could, for instance, receive a Senzu bean that restores some of your health, or have a partner block an attack. The controls are easy to learn but allow for depth and strategy, and the visuals are wonderfully expressive, particularly in cutscenes.īurst Limit also includes the rather unusual “Drama Pieces” which are essentially cutscenes you can activate during a fight in order to receive a specific bonus, assuming you meet certain conditions. Often overlooked Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit was actually nominated for a Spike Video Game Award for the best fighting game when it was released in 2008.

These are the best Dragon Ball Z games of all time.įor the sake of simplicity, I’ll be using “Dragon Ball Z” in a very general sense. Fortunately, Boss Level Gamer is here to ensure you get the best of the best. Given the sheer volume, there are more than a few duds out there. That’s more than 30 years of games, not all of them classics. Dragon Ball, and particularly Dragon Ball Z games have been around almost as long as the original manga.
