7 Best Dragon Ball Games (DBZ PC & Mobile Games)

Dragon Ball games are everywhere. It seems a new one comes out every year, and that’s great, really. Not many fandoms get quite as much gaming content. The problem is that there are almost too many. If you want to play something in the DBZ world, which game to pick?

Well, this is where I come in. I tested a bunch of games and rounded up the ones most worth playing. I feel like these capture the vibes and the mechanics, let’s say of the original anime, and are well-worth trying out, even if they’re a bit older.

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3

If you’ve ever wanted a DBZ game where you can pit literally anyone against anyone (yes, even Devilman versus Super Saiyan 4 Goku), Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is your dream come true. With a jaw-dropping roster of over 160 characters, this game lets you recreate every fight from the anime—or make up completely ridiculous matchups just for fun.

But it’s not just about the character count. The combat is fast, fluid, and chaotic in the best way possible. Battles take place in massive, fully destructible arenas, so if you’ve ever wanted to send your opponent flying through a mountain DBZ-style, go for it. The game also nails the anime’s high-speed, over-the-top combat, complete with beam struggles, teleporting clashes, and ultimate attacks that feel as dramatic as they should.

Sure, the story mode is basically a greatest-hits recap of the series, but let’s be real — you’re here to throw hands. And in that department, Budokai Tenkaichi 3 delivers. It’s still considered one of the best Dragon Ball Z games ever, and for good reason.

Dragon Ball FighterZ

Dragon Ball FighterZ isn’t just good for a DBZ game — it’s one of the best fighting games, period.

Developed by Arc System Works, it combines lightning-fast combat, jaw-dropping visuals, and an easy-to-pick-up-but-hard-to-master playstyle that makes every match feel like an episode straight from the series. The 3v3 tag battle system lets you build your dream team, pulling off insane combos and dramatic last-second saves.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO

After years of waiting, the Budokai Tenkaichi series finally made a comeback, and Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO did not disappoint. This game takes everything that made the originals great — fast, high-flying combat, massive destructible arenas, and an absurdly large roster — and cranks it up with next-gen power.

With over 180 characters spanning Dragon Ball Z, Super, and GT, plus stunning visuals powered by Unreal Engine 5, every battle feels like it’s ripped straight from the anime. Transform mid-fight, unleash planet-shattering attacks, and relive (or rewrite) some of DBZ’s most legendary moments.

Dragon Ball Legends

Mobile games can be hit or miss, but Dragon Ball Legends proves that you don’t need a console to get an epic DBZ experience. This action-packed, card-based fighting game brings fast, cinematic battles to your phone, complete with smooth animations and an original story that introduces a brand-new Saiyan, Shallot.

The gameplay is simple but surprisingly strategic — you tap and swipe to attack, dodge, and unleash devastating combos using ability cards. And because it’s designed for mobile, the controls feel intuitive rather than clunky. Plus, with constant updates, new characters, and PvP battles against real players, there’s always something to do.

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot isn’t just another fighting game — it’s a full-blown action RPG that lets you train, eat, fish, and even get scolded by Chi-Chi when you slack off.

The real magic of Kakarot is how faithfully it recreates the anime. You’re not just playing through the big fights — you’re experiencing Goku’s entire journey, complete with side quests, iconic moments, and little details that make the world feel alive. Flying over the open world, running into random characters, and training to unlock powerful moves makes you feel like you’re actually part of the DBZ universe.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2

Ever wanted to step into the Dragon Ball universe as your own custom character and actually change the course of DBZ history? That’s exactly what Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 lets you do. Instead of just replaying classic battles, you’re thrown into an alternate timeline where villains are messing with the past, and it’s your job to fix it.

The character customization is one of the best parts. You can create your own Saiyan, Namekian, or even a member of Frieza’s race, then train under DBZ legends like Goku and Vegeta to learn their moves. The combat is a mix of fast-paced, aerial battles and classic DBZ-style energy blasts, making every fight feel like something straight out of the anime.

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai

Before DBZ games went full 3D arena battles, there was Dragon Ball Z: Budokai — the game that brought Goku and friends into the world of proper fighting games. If you grew up with this one, you probably still hear the “Next time on Dragon Ball Z!” narrator in your head every time you think about it.

For its time, Budokai was a game-changer. It gave us cinematic story mode cutscenes that actually looked like the anime (a huge deal back then), a solid fighting system that was easy to pick up but fun to master, and a capsule system for customizing moves. Plus, unlocking Super Saiyan transformations mid-battle was awesome.

Sure, the combat is simpler compared to later games, but that’s part of its charm.
