What is Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO? It’s the Budokai Tenkaichi game you’ve been waiting for. Allow us to explain…
The Budokai Tenkaichi series (known as Sparking! in Japan) is a series of fighting games developed by Spike based on the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira Toriyama. Well, now it’s back, after more than 15 years, to deliver the same over-the-top action and epic battles that made the series so popular around the world.
This means you can expect the return of intense, fast-paced 3D arena combat and a massive roster of beloved Dragon Ball characters, each equipped with their signature moves and transformations. And with both online and offline multiplayer modes, you can battle it out with friends in either your living room or in your custom lobby.
Oh, and if you’re looking for a competitive fighting game, this isn’t exactly one of those. Sparking! ZERO is designed to be a fun and accessible experience for all Dragon Ball fans. The roster is based on the characters’ canonical power levels rather than competitive balance.
Over 180 Fighters!
Sparking! ZERO boasts a mind-blowing 182 characters drawn from every corner of the Dragon Ball universe, from the original series to Dragon Ball Super. This is your chance to finally settle those “who would win” debates with a roster this massive.
Breathtaking 3D Fights
Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO features visually stunning battles with a dynamic blend of cel-shaded characters and richly detailed environments. Every Kamehameha and Spirit Bomb is a visual treat, and the destructible environments add a level of cinematic flair that’s truly satisfying. You’ll be smashing through mountains, obliterating planets, and leaving a trail of epic destruction in your wake.
Blaze A New Path
The “Episode Battles” in Story Mode lets you experience classic Dragon Ball moments– with a twist. Now, you’re in charge of some of the most pivotal choices in the franchise, allowing the story to branch into exciting “what if” scenarios. What if Goku never hit his head as a child? What if Frieza triumphed on Namek? Explore alternate timelines and uncover hidden “Sparking Episodes” that showcase these unique outcomes.
Or, unleash your inner storyteller in “Custom Battle” mode. Design your dream matchups, complete with custom intros, outros, and even mid-battle triggers. Want to pit a team of Saiyans against an army of Frieza soldiers? Go for it. How about your own Tournament of Power with unique rules? You got it. You can even share your creations online and challenge the world to conquer your ultimate Dragon Ball showdown.
