Dragon Z Transformation follows the Dragon Ball GT storyline from the Child Goku Saga to the. And this game is also sort of stepping stone for Arc Systems the co developers as they would go on to make more DBZ games up to Dragon Ball Fighterz so there's that at least. Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors - Page Ball Advanced Adventure. But compared to the other DBZ fighting game on the Gameboy its leagues better.
And with only 13 payable characters it can get kinda dull fighting the same characters over and over again. Although some of them are also really boring like Gotanks story. Which is something I really wish more DBZ games would do as some of these what if stories are actually kind of cool. But more interestingly there's also what if stories for every playable character in the game. And where the game really shines is its story which does have a abridged sort of rea telling of the series. The visuals are pretty nice as well, probably as close as you could have gotten the the anime on a Gameboy. However in later fights it kind of just devolves into spamming super attacks due to the fact that the actual fighting is just button mashing and spam blocking. It's kind of hard to make a fighting game when you only have 4 button inputs but they manage make it feel good for the most part.
This game is a pretty fun fighting game at least for the Gameboy. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
