Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z is an action role-playing game based on the manga and anime franchise Dragon Ball. It was developed by Artdink and published by Bandai Namco Games. The game promotes the release of the film Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, featuring the first video game appearance of Goku's Super Saiyan God form[1] as well as the characters Beerus and Whis.
Gameplay[edit]
Transformations in battle can happen through various regulations. Either turn-based transformations (with or without restrictions) or Passive Skill. Progressively transform into a more powerful form These cards are guaranteed to transform upon entering their next attacking turn, starting from the 3rd turn from the start of battle. Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z - No Transformations confirmed, Spirit Bomb One Hit Kills, & DLC. Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z - All Transformation Animations (Super Saiyan, Great Ape, Frieza, & More. The question of who achieved this transformation first is complicated by its status in the series canon. While it debuted in Dragon Ball Z: Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan, it wasn’t officially made cannon until Kale utilized it in Super.
Battle of Z is a team fighting action title that lets up to eight players battle it out against one another. The game supports up to four players in cooperative play, and lets players perform attacks together and heal one another. It also supports online multiplayer battles,[2] and PS Vita ad-hoc connection. A multiplayer restriction in this game is that two players can not play on the same console; the developers say this is due to wanting a player having the best possible graphics in full screen. Battle of Z features over 70 characters, as well as team battles against giant characters such as Great ApeVegeta, Great Ape Gohan, and Hirudegarn.
The game features more than 70 characters. Instead of transformations grouped together into one character, they are separated into each transformation each. The pre-order offer comes in with two in-game DLC characters: Super Vegito and Super SaiyanBardock, available via pre-order across Europe, America, and Australasia. Day 1 Edition includes a bonus DLC code for Goku in Naruto Sage Mode costume.
A big part of what made Dragon Ball Z such a phenomenon were the numerous stellar transformations that the characters would undergo throughout the series, escalating their power to massive heights in the process. However, some of these transformations were pretty subpar in comparison, making for a rather unsatisfying payoff. Then, in Dragon Ball GT, both Goku and Vegeta transform into Super Saiyan 4s. For Vegeta, he managed to become a Super Saiyan 4 with Bulma's help while Goku can transform freely into this form. And next comes the Super Saiyan God form which is a special transformation.
The game's key feature is team battle action of four versus four.[3] Teammates share a special energy meter called Genki Gauge. This meter increases when attacking opponents and, when filled, allows the character to perform an ultimate attack.[4] Any of the teammates can decide to give or use energy from the gauge in order to perform an attack. Playable characters can team up to perform techniques such as Synchro Rush, Meteor Chain, and Revive Soul. Meteor Chain involves partners teaming up to launch attack after attack, following up each other's attacks and timing it so the opponent has no time to counter.[3] Using Meteor Chains is an effective way to get the GENKI Gauge to fill up quickly.[4] Synchro Rush is rushing the opponent at the same time, resulting in simultaneous hits. Revive Soul is reviving a fallen partner, giving them energy to get back in the battle.[3] Also, thanks to Energy Share, teammates can share ki with each others.[4] Villains can team up with Heroes in the game, but they do not show appreciation when given ki or extra energy to heal.
There are four different battle types for playable characters:
- Melee Type: skilled at close combat, can combo with melee attacks. Attack Type moves are Kaio-ken Attack, Dance of the Sword, Recoome Kick.
- Ki Blast Type: skilled at long range battle, can make consecutive attacks using the Genki Gauge. Ki Blast Type moves are Consecutive Energy Blast, Death Beam, Spirit Ball.
- Support Type: powers such as health regeneration and support abilities. Support Type moves are Health regain blast, Fighting Pose.
- Interfere Type: adept at abilities that interfere with the enemy's movements. Interference Type moves are Solar Flare, Chocolate Beam, Drain Energy.
There is a unique feature system that allows players to modify (edit) characters using ability/or customization cards. By collecting and equipping cards, characters that might not be suited to battle can be boosted to make them more capable, alternatively they can be given abilities that make their natural strengths more pronounced.[5]
Modes[edit]
Game modes include Single Missions, Multi Missions, and Team Battles.
- Single Mission
In this mode, it is possible to fight as either the Z Fighters or their antagonists. 60 missions are featured, ordered in Saiyan Saga (Z Fighters route and Saiyan route), Frieza Saga (Z Fighters route and Planet Trade Organization route), Cell Saga (Z Fighters route and Androids route), Majin Buu Saga (Z Fighters route and Majin Buu route), Another Age, Extra Age, and Special Age. The original manga/anime story is modified to include team battles, such as the fight with Frieza which, instead of Goku being the only character to face the tyrant, also includes Piccolo, Gohan, and Krillin for the final battle on Namek. Also included is a special history which is based on the Saiyans if something involving them had happened differently. Another scenario made for the game has a battle against all of Goku's family, including Bardock and Goten.
