DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO

Lutas f0da.

I absolutely adore this game- combat, playability, modes, mods; where do I even start? First off, I already have a couple of months to a year or two of experience with this game, and just recently went over and bought the legendary version on PC, which I think was the best choice to make. If you want a general overview of what the game has to offer, here's what to expect The largest character roster in any Dragon Ball game: originally, when the game came out, about 181 characters were available at launch, with one character being a pre-order bonus: Dr. Wheelo. Over time, they added DLC's for the Daima show and Super Hero movie, as well as Shallot, and with the most recent being the Neo update, the roster holds over 240+ characters. This lets you recreate almost any scene from the Dragon Ball anime series, with some limitations on certain side characters, Non canon movies (some), manga-exclusive characters, and characters that haven't been animated yet, but the fights are mostly possible to recreate. Now, there are characters that are missing, but something we'll discuss soon completely solves that. In conclusion, the majority of the game's characters can be unlocked by playing the game or buying them with the game's in-game money, which can be earned easily and doesn't need to be bought. the only exceptions are of course the DLC characters, as well as Goku black and Fused Zamasu / corrupted Zamasu, two characters who are unlocked at level 20 in the games main shop or through super Shenron by completing either Goku's main story, and other ways as well. The array of game modes + Replayability: Along with a massive selection of characters, Sparking Zero has a lot of game modes, both original and completely new! Its main cinematic story mode is the episode battles, and unlike a traditional campaign where it's one linear story following one or more characters, you can assume the main character himself, Goku, or some of your other favorite characters like Piccolo, Vegeta, Gohan, Jiren, Frieza, etc., especially with the new update that added new episode battle timelines for other characters, most notably Cell. They mainly go through the characters' stories and have you fight as the character in popular moments, whether it's Goku's Saiyan awakening on Namek against Frieza, or Jiren vs. Universe 7 in the Tournament of Power, and many more. Sometimes it can feel like Jujutsu Kaisen cursed clash, but the majority of the time, Sparking Zero incorporates actual cutscenes, and Sparking! episodes that are far from anything considered to be a PowerPoint. Sparking Zero also has its standard online/offline options in the Battle and Training section, where you can either fight against people in normal and ranked options, or against AI. There are two training modes: one with Piccolo, where he teaches most of the game's mechanics and fighting system, and the other to practice what you learn on your own with stationary or fighting opponent. It's also very flexible with its settings, so you can take as much time as you need in there. The replayability comes from custom battles and the newest modes currently released. In custom battles, you can pretty much make your own Dragon Ball fights and stories with a built-in cutscene and dialogue system, and the game's effects chart system can get pretty complicated as well. Recently added modes like Mission 100, Survival Mode, and the newest Limit Breaker Journey, the longest game mode to date in terms of completion, all add hundreds of hours of gameplay. Now, what really completes Dragon Ball Sparking Zero The Modding community: If the game didn't feel complete by itself, the mods you can download add just about anything else you can ask for, from completely custom characters built from the ground up, canon and non-canon characters that haven't or won't be added, overhauls and QOL mods, and mainly anything else almost. I used mods to add currently missing characters like TUI Goku, Ultra Ego Vegeta, Moro, Granolah, Gas, black Frieza, and so much more. if you read this far, I'd recommend you do your own research from other peers of the community, but personally this hits home in terms of overall fun, and can become a All-In-One dragon ball simulator if done right. the only personal complaints I'd have about the game would be - a fighting system that can get repetitive at times - characters like Vegeta, lacking story length in episode battles but other then that, its ever rarely dry to me, and I'd recommend casual to diehard fans to definitely pick this game up. 8/10, overall, very satisfied.
