- The bottom line, though, is that Dragon Ball FighterZ is still an amazing fighting game. It was top tier on PS4 and it's yet to be equalled in the anime space, despite being five years old. Assuming the online systems will be improved, there's no reason not to jump back into this brilliant adaptation.
Robert Ramsey · Mar 05, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - It all comes down to how important portability is to you. If you’re a Switch owner, you probably put a pretty hefty premium on portability. And honestly, the game’s performance is otherwise exemplary. For me, the load times and the game’s performance make this a good experience in short doses. If you want epic, fast-paced combat in a portable package, definitely give Dragon Ball FighterZ a chance.
James Paley · Oct 20, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Dragon Ball FighterZ remains a winner on Nintendo Switch. The game plays fantastically and is fun for both the fighting novice learning the ins and outs and the expert. From casual options that you play with a Joy-Con to online ranked modes that run without too much lag, this title has everything you want out of a fighting game. 24 iconic characters bring a fun variety of moves to the table that thrilled me every time I played.
Daan Koopman · Oct 11, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - It’s fantastic to see that Dragon Ball FighterZ transitions as well as it does to the most versatile games console on the planet. The game looks and plays great on the portable home console and stands as one of the best and most faithful anime licensed titles on the market. Dragon Ball FighterZ is one of those rare brawler’s where the simplicity doesn’t get in the way of depth. There’s a lot of possible mind games to play out with plenty of drama and upsets to keep the action incredibly addictive. Kakarot and the gang may be late to the Nintendo Switch party, but the wait was well worth it in the end.
Darren Palma · Oct 01, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Dragon Ball FighterZ on the Switch is, simply put, the best fighting game we've seen on the system yet. Arc System Works went the extra mile in capturing the essence of the source material and distilled it into an incredible brawler that has lost nothing in the transition to Nintendo's hybrid console. The stunning visuals, intense action and easy-to-master controls make FighterZ a game all fans of the genre should have in their library. If you only play this kind of game casually, it remains a must-own.
Steve Bowling · Oct 01, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Dragon Ball FighterZ is a beautifully realized fighting game for both fans of the genre and Dragon Ball. The visuals and sound are top notch and the game is an absolute blast to play. There are nods and references everywhere that add an extra level of personality that I only found in Injustice 2 before it. The amount of love and care present is nothing short of commendable. However the pristine glow is muddied by a struggling online mode that is equal parts great and frustrating. And the UI and main menu could use an overhaul to make things more streamlined. But at the end of the day, Dragon Ball FighterZ is a new top contender in the genre and a must have for any fan of the source material.
Wayne Denor · Mar 07, 2018 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Dragon Ball FighterZ is simply a marvel. For Dragon Ball fans it is a no-brainer, for fighting game fans it is a must-have, even for those like me who know next to nothing about the series. It is extremely easy to get into, a blast to play, and it looks outstanding. This is a sleeper of 2018 for me, and I cannot recommend it enough.
Ken McKown · Feb 09, 2018 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Accessible yet complex, chaotic yet beautiful, this is the real fighting game deal.
Nathan Brown · Feb 06, 2018 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Dragon Ball as a series has always forefronted epic battles. In each episode of the cartoon, godlike warriors transformed the landscape in fantastic one-on-one fights with ease. In FighterZ, anyone can feel like that in any fight. I’ve been waiting for a Dragon Ball game like this ever since I first saw the cartoon in grade school, and I’m so happy this day has come.
Jeff Ramos · Feb 05, 2018 Reviewed on PC, PS4, XB1Read full review - Aside from having an incredibly solid fighting game structure at its core, Dragon Ball FighterZ is a title that Arc System Works clearly treated with respect and love for the franchise that it is inspired by, and it stands toe-to-toe with the iconic anime and manga because of it.
