Hey video game and anime fans, it’s GeekGamer here again, and I’m back to talk about something important. If you’ve been keeping up with the latest fighting game news, you’ve probably heard about the new Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, and boy, has it brought some serious hype! The first thing I thought was, “This game has to have crossplay—how epic would it be to fight my friends no matter what platform they’re on?!” But let’s cut to the chase: is Dragon Ball Sparking Zero crossplay?
What platforms is Dragon Ball Sparking Zero on?
First, let’s talk about what platforms the game is available on. Dragon Ball Sparking Zero launched on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Pretty inclusive, right? (Yeah, I know some people don’t like that word, but I’m not big on synonyms… sorry, lol). So, whether you prefer consoles or the comfort of your PC, you’re covered.
Is Dragon Ball Sparking Zero crossplay?
Now, about crossplay, I’ve got some bad news. Dragon Ball Sparking Zero is not crossplay. While you can play with people who have the same console as you, at this point, you can’t (and honestly, I doubt you ever will) play against people on other platforms. Another major bummer is that Dragon Ball Sparking Zero doesn’t support cross-save either.
What would crossplay mean for the player community?
Imagine being able to fight anyone, no matter their platform, and reliving those epic battles between Goku and Vegeta, but this time with your best friend who’s halfway across the world and on a different console. That’s what crossplay could offer. It’s the ability to unite a global community of Dragon Ball fans, breaking down the traditional barriers that separate us. It’s not just about playing; it’s about connecting through our shared love for this universe.
How much does Dragon Ball Sparking Zero cost?
Another key question: How much does Dragon Ball Sparking Zero cost? This is where your wallet might feel the burn. The game launched with a $69.99 USD price tag for the standard edition. But as expected, there’s also a Deluxe Edition that includes a season pass and some extra content, priced around $99.99 USD. And of course, there’s the Ultimate Edition, with even more DLC and, naturally, a much higher price.
If you’ve been a Dragon Ball fan for a long time and love everything about the anime/manga/games/etc., you might want to consider the pricier editions. Just make sure the extra investment is worth it for you before you drop that cash.
Gameplay and mechanics
When it comes to gameplay, Dragon Ball Sparking Zero takes the best elements from previous games, like Budokai Tenkaichi and Xenoverse, and kicks things up a notch. The graphics are stunning, with an aesthetic that stays true to the anime. The battles are fast and dynamic, just like you’d expect from a Dragon Ball title, with a combat system that lets you pull off iconic moves like the Kamehameha or Final Flash.
I also loved the story mode. If you’re a fan of the anime and know all the major arcs, you’ll enjoy reliving the classic sagas and even some original stories exclusive to the game. That said, get ready to sweat in some of the tougher battles because the AI doesn’t mess around (especially when you’re up against Vegeta in his Ozaru form lol).
Is it worth it?
If you ask me, Dragon Ball Sparking Zero is a must-buy if you love fighting games or if you grew up watching Dragon Ball. Even though there’s no crossplay (and probably won’t be in this title), the game still delivers a solid experience for both competitive players and those just looking to have a fun time fighting with friends. Plus, the combat mechanics feel polished, and the graphics are next-level.
So, if you’re willing to pay the entry price and enjoy the intense battles and nostalgia it offers, Dragon Ball Sparking Zero is definitely worth it. Now the question is: Are you ready to face off against Frieza or Cell on the console of your choice?
