The library of Dragon Ball video games is an extensive one, and with the release of Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission it’s only getting bigger. Some are far better than others though, so we’re here to rank the top 15 best Dragon Ball video games to date.
Note that this list only includes Dragon Ball games that received official localizations. As a result, titles that were only playable in the west via emulation haven’t been included.
15. Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission
Trading card games are nothing new to the Dragon Ball franchise, and more often than not they don’t land with the fan base.
That makes it all the more exciting that Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission manages to provide a great experience that’s fun for fans of both the Dragon Ball universe and trading card games.
As an original character enlisted to help save the Dragon Ball universe from a new threat, players must construct a deck from cards based on thousands of different dragon ball characters and attacks from across the series and its spin-offs.
As such, there’s a huge amount of depth for Dragon Ball fans. There is almost an endless number of combinations and strategies to test out, and the game takes on an air of a fanfiction brought to life in the best way possible.
Admittedly, there are some issues with the game. Having originally been an arcade title, the graphics aren’t spectacular and some of the tactile input doesn’t carry over as well as it could.
Overall though, it’s a fine addition to the roster of Dragon Ball games and a new benchmark for TCG titles tied to the property.
