A significant number of online and video games based on the popular anime Dragon Ball have emerged in the market over the years. The popularity of Dragon Ball games can be attributed to the success of the Dragon Ball tv series, which was a hit not only in Japan but also in other parts of the world. Ask any kid who Gohan or Gokou is, and they will enthusiastically answer you that they are characters from the famed anime ‘Dragon Ball’.

Different versions of Dragon Ball games came out but what they have in common is there destructive environments, ability to pick players, their signature ‘pursuit attacks’, and of course their devastating strikes. Dragon Ball is basically a strategy game that would require players to boost their combat abilities to reach the ultimate level.

With over hundreds of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z games that were produced, it is really hard to list all of them. I was not much a fan of Dragon Ball video and online games but since my brothers love to play them it started to grow on me. We usually sit for hours in front of the television playing the battle mode.

Strategies used to gain the upper hand in the game vary greatly depending on what dragon ball game version you will be playing. For instance, if you are playing the Dragon Ball Z Final Tournament, you and your opponent will have to choose up to four players each. This is generally a three-player battle wherein they will all fight in a tournament arena. When the first character, from the team, is defeated the next chosen character will have to enter the arena and fight the winner from the opposing team. Each character will have two values – Endurance and Aura – that will appear on top of the screen. All you have to do is to defeat all the members of the opposing team by depleting their endurance which can be done by attacking them. When the character’s endurance reaches zero, the next character will replace and so on until the last player is left standing.

Those who do not own game consoles do not have to fret since there are now plenty of Dragon Ball and DBZ games that can now be accessed for free online. Like their video game predecessors, online Dragon Ball games are all strategy based. When playing DB games, you need to have superb mental ability and mind work. If not, you will be likely defeated in the game. The great thing about DB games is that you can come up with your own strategy depending on the character you are using and, of course, your fighting preference. Some players resort to getting cheats online, which can also be considered a strategy (a pretty smart one, actually!), in order to gain the upper hand in the game. However, I am not saying that you should cheat to win the game. It is still nice to win a DB battle fair and square, at least in my opinion.
