We open the top with one of the games that several members of the editorial staff have among our favorites. We'll see if there is a new season coming soon. By bringing together as never before the Dragon Ball and video game concepts in the best possible way, FighterZ is to this day the best video game starring Goku, and seems to have plenty of time left, seeing the new characters like Baby and the future Gogeta SSJ4 that are about to arrive. New routes, combos and synergies are still being found today. It was the game with the most entries in the year of its release, proving that its accessible yet deep gameplay proved to be a hit. On the other hand, we could never have imagined that Goku would reign supreme in the biggest competitive fighting game event: the EVO. In the first case, the title is simply sick, with the recreation of punches and movements taken from the anime, with scenarios, characters, and scenes that take us to the closest we ever had to the series. We have chosen it in the first place for reasons on the two fronts that always stand out in a game on the work of Toriyama: fidelity to the work and gameplay. After three years it has not been surpassed. A fun title, more varied and solid than the first installment, and a good example that adventure and Dragon Ball can fit together without a problem.Īnd we come to Dragon Ball FighterZ, released in January 2018 and which remains from now until further notice as the best Goku game. The Nintendo handheld managed to host several important names, and one of them is Legacy of Goku 2, an Action RPG in which we had many missions to perform, leveling up, and learning techniques, all while we were revisiting some of the best events of the series, in addition to presenting us with totally original moments that worked very well together. To say that the GBA is probably the platform that received more and better Dragon Ball games is not to be mistaken. In the last part of the article, we have recovered some names that should be among the best Dragon Ball games. The best Dragon Ball gamesĪs usual, the order of the games always ends up being quite relative and we feel that we have left some important names behind. So for Goku Day, which is celebrated on May 9, we choose the best games of the series. There are fighting games, adventure games, RPGs, card games.
More than 30 years have passed since the first title of the series and after dozens and dozens of games, choosing the best video games is not easy. The great success of the manga and the series is undeniable, as also the great impact that Goku and company have in the world of video games. Dragon Ball is stronger than ever among us, and it does so for many reasons.
