More advice is available from the developers’ website. On the downside, it can seem a bit limited and boring compared to fighting classics like Street Fighter or Tekken but for a game that’s only around 30 MB, it certainly packs a punch.īe warned also that although the developers claim this game works on all Windows platforms, some forums report that users with anything above Windows 98 have experienced problems starting the game. Dragon Ball Z's sound is also excellent with some classic satisfying retro kicks and punch effects.
The gameplay is just like a classic arcade game thanks to the ever-popular MUGEN graphics engine. According to the developers, this can range from adding a new move to your character to creating an entirely new one.
Along the way, you also collect dragon balls and once you have collected 7, you can call forth the “dragon of Shenron” which grants you a wish. Points give you access to a “skill tree” which enables you to pimp-up your character and give him/her some new moves. You can also customize your own Dragon Ball Z player although it’s mainly limited to changing the name and colours here and there.ĭragon Ball Z itself works on the basis of battle points - the more you beat-up, the more you win. Remember those old Amiga and Atari games where a special move literally involved snapping the joystick and you’ll get the picture. For beginners, I’d advise going straight into training mode where you can practice some special moves which range from a simple karate-chop to a “fist of death” hammer blow which involves pressing at least seven different keys at once. If you choose to take on a friend in the “VS” mode, make sure you’ve either got two joysticks or at least one whilst the other plays on the keyboard. As one of these Dragon Ball Z fighters, you take on a series of martial arts beasts in an effort to win battle points and collect dragon balls. Highlights include Chibi Trunks, Future Trunks, Normal Trunks and Mr Boo.
Dragon Ball Z lets you take on the role of of almost 30 characters.
