Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, the latest title to be released in the popular Budokai Tenkaichi series, has been one of the most eagerly anticipated games and has sparked heated debate among fans. Fans are understandably excited for Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, considering it has been more than ten years since they last played a Budokai Tenkaichi game.
Bandai Namco Entertainment has released an entirely new trailer and a 13-minute gameplay video for Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero. Similar to their initial battle in Dragon Ball Z, Goku and Vegeta are shown in the video fighting it out at Gizard Wasteland. Considering the previous game in the series was on PlayStation 2, that’s a significant advancement.
Although no release date has yet been set, the gameplay video gives fans a first look at the game’s characters, battle techniques, and other components. However, hardcore anime fans have found some serious flaws in the latest multiplayer 3D anime game by Spike Chunksoft. These fans have also talked about the flaws of X (formerly Twitter).
Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero Gets a New Gameplay Trailer
Spike Chunsoft is developing the next multiplayer 3D anime game, which is the latest installment in the Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi series. A 13-minute gameplay video for Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero has been made available on the official Bandai Namco YouTube channel.
Eleven additional playable characters have also been introduced in addition to the thrilling video.
The new combatants, separated by their battling preferences for power and speed, are a combination of returning characters from past games and new characters from the Dragon Ball Super anime series.
The debut date for the game, which will be available on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5, has not yet been disclosed. The game uses a behind-the-back third-person camera perspective to provide a dynamic picture of the action. Goku and Vegeta, along with their numerous forms and transformations, are among the first 24 characters announced.
Anime Fans Are Not Happy With Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero
Although Dragon Ball anime and manga series and the game Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero in itself has a big fanbase who are eagerly waiting for the game to get a release date and finally get launched, there are some hardcore anime fans who did not like the gameplay video and think that the game might not do justice to Akira Toriyama’s legacy.
Fans took to X (Twitter) to share their disappointed opinion about the gameplay video and the game in general. Some found flaws in the animation, while some had issues with the character’s style of representing them from the original manga and anime.
Honestly game looks pretty great. My only complaints are: the character icon is too big; the way Goku moves normally feels weird, needs to be more dynamic; need hits to feel more impactful, especially blasts; the beam struggles spin too much tbh, need som else instead pic.twitter.com/grbQrbK4rp

They remixed tenkaichi 3 into modern times. This game looks to have everything the old tenkaichis had and more. Nall is life to wait for remaining roster, story mode, n of course the OSTs. But awesome as they were, no chance they are bringing back original OSTs for tenkaichi. https://t.co/0JilZekiSG

Looks like an early build.
The potential is there.
They could make the hud a tad bit smaller and zoom out the camera a little bit more. https://t.co/kktz9cuZYs— CAPE ⟁ (@UniversallyCAPE) March 21, 2024
<< the game look phenomenal in my eyes
While I’ve never played a bt game before I’m aware of the combat n shit and it looks cool
My only problem is that some animations look pretty stiff to me and coming from a dbfz player I want the animations to look animated greatly https://t.co/OcBahjvc7D

Peak style. Especially adore the Aura & facial expressions.
Only thing they need is more impact. When Goku doing that dash move I want the body to swap abit more & also the camera tilts are hell weird sometimes,
But besides that, peak gaming
