A simple and intuitive combat system

The combat system is quite simple and it doesn't cost it too much to do it.Precisely, in the combos system the first controversy emerged, since making strong combinations and special skills is not very difficult.Just control four buttons and the 'joystick' to leave spectacular images and combinations from the beginning.

But does that mean that the value of the experience is lost?The only thing that Arc System Works has done is to bring and facilitate the playability to the novels of the genre and make it attractive from the beginning.But that ease when making devastating attacks does not distort the battle.

Undoubtedly, it helps a lot in the first measures of the game, but as progress is made, the struggle method is gradually dominated, so someone who is an expert in the domain of the commands will continue to have a great advantage over arookie.Equal the battle to some extent.

Rather, its function is to hook the less common from the beginning, moving away from the complicated combinations in which you end up with the fingers.

System three against three is another success and carrying the 2D battlefield, too.He returns to the pure genre of struggle and the exchange of characters makes the fighting a real frenzy of destruction, very fun and addictive.After each fight you have to take a breath.

There is no dragon ball without the seven magical balls.To invoke Shenron we must execute certain movements and combos during combat until we achieve seven, when we can call the dragon to help us in battle.It is difficult to achieve and is relegated to something anecdotal rather than decisive.

A map without complications

The map has also changed completely.There is no longer that great extension to travel, everything is more at hand and simplified.Avatar has also undergone a big change, with a lighter and more fun touch.

We start the game with a Goku transformed into Super Saiyan, with a disproportionate head with respect to your body.With the passage of time and shopping with Zeni, we can buy more avatars and different colors.

In addition to being able to access the different game modes, we will also have a practice room to gradually control the heroes and villains of the Dragon Ball universe.

There is also the possibility of recording our fighting to revive them later and delight with those final combos or attack, or review our weak points.Simple conversations with other users can be established and we can change region when we want.

A newly executed story

The weight of the online in DBFZ is considerable and many players will use their skills to combat with fighters around the world, but in Arc System Works they have not wanted to forget the preferences of those looking for a good story to play alone.

For the occasion a new story has been created that has its own character, Android 21, a mixture between the BUU and cell monsters.We start with Bulma waking up a Goku who clears up after fainting, with a soul that is not his inside him and without his strength from Super Saiyan.

For some reason, Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo and company have been losing their powers.At the same time, their evil clones are scattered throughout the world causing terror.Bulma gets Goku's soul to dominate his body again and gradually rescue their old friends to try to free the world of the new threat of Android 21, with a power so far unimaginable.

History makes the different characters of Dragon Ball Z, both friends and enemies, have almost impossible relationships so far.The bet itself is attractive and has all the potential of the universe created by Toriyama.The problem, the way of executing it.

Basically it is broken down into three parts: kinematics, map and fighting.Let's start with kinematics.ARC System Works has preferred Japanese, the original language of anime, with Spanish dubbing.

The dialogues are typical of an episode of Dragon Ball, with their references to the series, the relationships between the characters and winks to the fans of the saga.The problem is very repetitive, little dynamic and can be heavy, so it is easy for you to end up giving the 'X' quickly to come the fight.

The story is divided into three sections, each with multiple maps.In each map we have a limited number of movements, 20, but they are enough to complete them without problems.You have to go through several boxes until you reach the 'Final Chief', which is what allows us to access the following map and kinematics in history.

The problem is that it ends up becoming repetitive and instead of encouraging its conquest, you end up opting for the fastest path to the 'final boss'.Here is the other story mode problem for a single player.The difficulty of AI is almost nil and fighting becomes too easy.

Fighters levels do not influence.Unlike Xenoverse, where a couple of levels made you very complicated to achieve the goal, in Fighterz you can have Goku N.5 and beaten without problems with small Buu N.13.This dynamic causes the incentive to evolve the character.

More life after Android 21

But not everything focuses on avoiding the evil Android plans 21. And if the whole possible game has been taken out of history, it has been done with the arcade and online mode.

In this arcade mode, experience is a degree and the difficulty varies depending on the challenges we overcome.In this part of the game is where we can unlock Goku SSBB and Vegeta SSBB, although it will not be easy.

In online mode we can opt for 'Arena', where we can enjoy fighting from players around the world or simply be spectators, without playing the guy.

There are also other ways to face the line, with rapid fighting that do not score or with serious appointments where our classification is at stake.Online fighting can be six against six.

Great graphic and sound definition

Highlights the great work done by ARC System Works in the graphic and sound section.In each battle it is like entering into a chapter of the anime series, each character is faithfully reflected, as well as his movements.

The sound effects and the soundtrack also stand out.The sound of the 'Kamehameha' or the load of 'Ki' are faithfully reproduced.Certain final executions can move the rival to another scenario, for example breaking mountains or buildings, to follow the fight with the remaining enemies of the rival team elsewhere.

The characters that we can enjoy in Fighterz will be 24, plus three unlockable (Android 21, which is achieved at the end of the story, and to Goku SSBB and Vegeta SSBB, which are achieved by reaching a certain figure of Zeni or achieving certain obejectives in the modeArcadian).

You are missing to enjoy more characters and versions of each one.Although surely they are reserved for future DLC's, after passing through the box.Also the number of scenarios is short, only 10, although it also indicates that they will increase in the future.
