Dragon Ball Kai: Ultimate Butōden (ドラゴンボール改 アルティメット武闘伝, Doragon Bōru Kai Arutimetto Butōden, Dragon Ball Revision: Ultimate Fighting Legend) is a fighting video game developed by the Game Republic and published by Namco Bandai Games. It creates for the Nintendo DS based on the Dragon Ball franchise. It was made accessible on February 3, 2011, in Japan.

It is the fifth entry in the Butōden series, the first since 1995's Dragon Ball Z: Shin Butoden. It is also the first to be based on the Dragon Ball Kai anime series, which is in turn a reworked version of the 1989 Dragon Ball Z anime, on which the other entries were based.

Gameplay

edit

This game probably remarks how very quickly everything moves in Ultimate Butōden as their first impression. Although it is a 2D field of play, the characters really do zip around, and it seems just as much like a simulation of the series' real fights as its larger console brothers.[1]



There are only weak and strong attacks rather than individual punches and kicks. Although you have a dodge button, blocking happens automatically if you are not currently pressing the buttons repeatedly. The split-screen when you fly or dash away from your opponent, which is likely the highlight of a "Butōden" game. Instead, you have a throw button and a ki attack button, which undoubtedly adds to the retro atmosphere.


A lot of emphases is placed on maintaining your opponent's confusion with combos and escaping them if you find yourself the unfortunate target of one of the multi-hit assaults. The fact that each character has a unique method for maintaining a high hit ratio greatly aids in keeping the characters seeming interesting and distinct from one another.


On the defensive options at your disposal to avoid being just another punching bag. Tools like counterattacks and dodging are crucial. A "burst" mode with instant maximum ki and a running clock of available energy for special moves is activated by pressing all of the face buttons.


Super assaults could really be one more significant throwback to the "Butōden"-proper series. Similar to the older games, you can pick how to respond to an opponent's super assault. This response, unless you decide to just "defend," will be organized through a mid-battle mini-game. These mini-games include hitting a button when a little energy ball lands in the center of the screen, matching the spinning Dragon Balls, capturing a small ball in a Denshi Jar, pulling off precise button combos, and more. In an Ultimate Butōden match, there is no downtime; you are either on your toes or you have lost.


The Nintendo DS does offer a few helpful features, particularly on the bottom screen. Your three special moves and one super move are by default listed in a column and can be used by just touching them to start the move. These will display the standard button-press sequence (the standard quarter-circles, etc.) that must be pressed in order to release them when "Select" is pressed. A quick reference is always close at hand.
