Gameplay

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is a 3D team fighting game and expansion onto earlier games such as Budokai Tenkaichi, Budokai Tenkaichi 2, and Budokai Tenkaichi 3, in which players can form a team of five or go alone as Dragon Ball characters and pit them against another team and/or character. The game introduces several new combat systems such as Skill Count, Revenge Counter, and Vanishing Assaults, while retaining the counter and the dash system from previous games. It features both new and returning playable characters, forms, and stages, with the stages containing destructible elements, for a total of 182 playable characters. Players can choose from any one of 100 characters at the beginning of the game, and have to unlock other characters using Zeni, an in-game currency earned by playing the game. The game also has 12 stages at launch. The game introduces a new mode named "Custom", allowing players to create their own Dragon Ball fight scenarios and share them online with other players. Custom mode is further divided into a simple and a normal mode, allowing players to customize their stages with a variety of tools. The game also includes "Episode Battles", which serve as the game's story mode, following the perspective of eight playable characters: Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Gohan, Future Trunks, Frieza, Goku Black, and Jiren. These episodes depict the story of Dragon Ball Z (1989–1996) and Dragon Ball Super (2015–2018), although players can make narrative decisions at various plot points, leading to differing endings from the original that are differentiated as a "Sparking! episode".
