Our Expert Score
Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle is the definitive mobile experience for fans of the franchise. It masterfully blends bubble-popping puzzle mechanics with high-octane battle animations that look like they were pulled straight from the anime. The 'Ki Sphere' system is surprisingly strategic—you aren't just matching colors; you are planning paths to maximize your character's power and trigger their iconic 'Super Attacks.'
The real draw, however, is the massive roster of characters. Collecting and 'Awakening' different versions of Goku, Vegeta, and Frieza is incredibly addictive. Supergiant-level polish is applied to the special attack animations, which feature earth-shattering visual effects. While the game leans heavily into the Gacha model, the sheer amount of free content and the 'Hidden Potential' system make it a rewarding experience for both casual players and hardcore grinders. It’s a love letter to Dragon Ball lore.

Tips & Walkthrough
Always aim for spheres that match your character's type color (e.g., Purple for INT characters). Matching colors grants double Ki, allowing you to trigger Super Attacks much more easily. Planning your path to leave same-colored spheres together for the next character in your rotation is the key to winning boss fights.
Gameplays
Collect 'Medals' from specialized events to Dokkan Awaken your characters. This not only boosts their stats significantly but often changes their card art and gives them even more powerful Super Attack animations.

The ultimate mobile game
Tue Jul 30 2024 ChriswhaleyI’ve been playing Dokkan battle for a little over 8 years now, and I can safely say at this point that dokkan is the best mobile game I’ve ever played. There is constantly new content coming out that is original, challenging, and fun. There’s constantly new characters being dropped and the best teams are always changing. Many new players might also be scared away thinking they’ll never be able to summon for their favorite characters because stones look like they cost a lot of money. The truth is you don’t really need to spend much money on this game or any at all. If you play it enough and complete missions/quests/events/etc. you’ll find you can pickup hundreds of dollars worth of stones to summon, not to mention daily logins/world tournament/clash/etc. Then as you become more of an established player with powerhouse teams it begins to open you up to even more events such as red zone/boss rush/fighting legends/etc. The final thing I want to touch on is the massive events this game has because the 9th anniversary itself is what is making me write this review. The amount of content that comes to the game during anniversary’s, the level of characters that drop, the number of events, and everything in between is nothing short of incredible. For the past 8 years dokkan battle has been the only mobile game I have consistently come back to, if you have not tried it yet I urge you to give it a shot. Hope to see many more years of Dokkan and I can’t wait for what’s still to come!
Honestly, one of the best dragon ball games there is
Mon Feb 17 2020 Momo5510With dragon ball games it’s really a hit or miss. Some are really well received, like fighterz, and others not so much. When I found out there was an official mobile dragon ball game I was sure that it would be a poorly made cash grab of a game. I was very wrong. While it is true that you can buy an in game premium currency in the form of dragon stones it is not completely necessary to buy them. They are quite accessible if you are willing to put in the time. I myself have only spent a small amount of money on the game and only when there is a big discount. Even without spending much money on it I have over 100 top tier characters and after years of playing I still have a lot of fun. It can be very grindy at times and there are some times in between events that can be really boring if you are high level and have most of the story stuff done. However there are almost always events of some sort going on and there’s almost always a new exciting character to summon for, seeing as that’s how the game supports itself. Overall it is a really fun game that gives a real sense of achievement when you finally beat a really tough event or grind to buy something big in the baba shop. Of all the dragon ball games created up to this point, it’s probably the one with the most work put into it and the most balanced of all. It’s really a good game and I highly recommend it to any dragon ball fans out there.
Lost my account and no support was provided.
Sat Feb 26 2022 SunkristtI had been playing this game since early 2017. I started F2P and was hooked enough to start spending money when the 2nd anniversary dropped. I was constantly logging in everyday barely missing a log-in rewards. Reached a point where I logged in for over 800 days in a row. Was over level 600 and was still not burnt out from the game. Many rainbow units,LRs, fun teams, and fun events. Didn’t have much to complain about until late spring/ early summer of 2020 when I tried to log in and was being made to make a new account. I thought I accidentally pressed something else and closed the app but when I relaunched I was greeted with the same thing. I tried to log in through Apple, Game Center, Google and Facebook but nothing. I attempted to contact customer support and was told they’d look into it. A few days to a week went by and I finally received a reply. Was told that I couldn’t recover my account because of the Terms and Conditions. When asked they just never replied. There goes a few thousand dollars, countless hours and love for the game down the drain. To this day I’m still bummed out from it. The fact that I was such a Dokkan fanboy that got several friends into it and practically made sleep, eat, work and playing my daily cycle only to get brushed off gets me so down. My friends don’t know I’ve lost my account yet. I’m too embarrassed to let them know. I just tell them I “quit” playing because it’s not fun anymore. Sorry for ranting, just wanted to finally get this off my chest after so long.
For the new comers and the og’s
Thu Aug 20 2020 dack3000Bro not gonna lie but this game right here this game right here it’s one of a kind. I’ve been playing Spence when it was thought that lr’ing agl freaking androids was hard. I’ve been playing for a while. But that’s besides the point. This game has been fun and entertaining for the past like 4to5 years ish I started when I was like 15 so but like this game has been amazing like for us dB fans it’s a good game it’s fun it’s addictive cough(when something new comes out)cough........ehmmm. It’s very easy to play like well it wasn’t in the beginning and all when we were first trying to get the right medals and training items but it was pretty fun stuff now it’s very easy with babas shop and all. It dives deep into the story of dB with the movies alternate timelines and different series the cards look amazing and the art is just phenomenal. The animations on the the super attacks look almost as good as in the show. And then there are so many different events for different sagas movies they even got characters from fighterz. This is a really good game and I recommend it to all the ppl that see this game and or watch dbz. Heck I have only paid for like what at most on the game only 150 bucks all together. I really do recommend this game if you want your time to go by or a game you can compare it to with friends and have fun but don’t like take it over board. #jesuslives#dokkanbattle
Dokkan is a Dragon Ball Fan game at it's finest.
Mon Jan 08 2018 Justin FreyerLet's start out with the only bad thing here. It's Pay to win. Now that that's out of the way. Let's talk about all the good this game has to offer. Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle is a unique game with a very unique twist on the usual beat em ups. This is refreshing to say the least since most of us Dragon Ball fans are used to that formula for those games and the mechanic can either make or break the game. You collect these orbs that let you obtain ki for your ki meter that can be seen whenever you fight something. This game also comes with it's own story mode, can be completely f2p if the person so chooses (which is still viable to this day), and new things are added all the time. Sure, you can empty your purse of money into this game to get rare characters you want, however, the game already gives you plenty of dragon stones (this games Gotcha currency). Each of the story missions give you three stones and there are almost always events that give you special missions to gain more stones. I'd say it's worth it to grind a bit and earn a bit. It makes the experience of the game more genuine and fun. As a player myself that has trash luck, you can always make the best of your situations. That's why there are so many ways to play this game. And it's still being updated and modified! In my opinion, this is one of the best Dragon Ball games of it's time. Just look past that stamina issue...
First app review ever
Wed Aug 17 2022 TribbblesI wanted to put 4 stars but at a 4.8 I couldn’t disrespect like that, and my review is more for the veterans of Dokkan Battle. I went in on this game in 2015 when I was young and took many breaks in activity. I’ve come back to it a few times and as someone who’s been around since SR (mid) characters were actually rare and what you wanted (SSR was a class of its own, almost better than LR is now) I have to say, I haven’t been impressed recently (as in since 2018). I loved this game when I would be doing cardio I didn’t want to do at that age and in that time. However the over-indulgence and accessibility of LRs and SSRs has ruined the game for me personally. When I played in 2015 all I played was the story until it was FINISHED, only to go back and do it on hard, then Z-hard. I can’t blame the devs for going down the route almost all gaming platforms have set on, with events and limited assets being dangled at us like cat toys to spend a little money on them each time. I am disappointed, but there’s no going back for the devs. THAT BEING SAID, I’m sure that for any plot-loving easy grind type of people out there (who love DB as well) I’m sure you’d have a great first time experience. That alone is why this game gets 5 stars. also I’m not a fan of how the only screenshot on the page of a real roster was of ALL the LRs I’ve ever seen. INCLUDING Japan exclusive characters. This is hardly realistic and to achieve one LR requires a lot of time and effort. I emphasize this strongly as I only have 8 and they took 3-5 hours of grinding EACH.
My review and suggestions to the developers
Sat Sep 07 2019 J-LindsayFirst off, amazing job with this game, I never seem to get bored of it like many others on the App Store. The gameplay somehow never gets repetitive and isn’t difficult to learn. The amount of characters on this game are unreal and there are more added at a consistent rate. Now, on to my suggestions. Firstly I would like to see a character trading system implemented it would cost 5 or 10 dragon stones to use and would allow you to trade any character you want for another one with a friend. Such as, my friend got a phy type Vegeta I have wanted since it was added to the game, and he never uses it, I have a ton of characters I never use that he wants, so I could trade him one character such as a str type Super Saiyan 3 Goku for his phy type Vegeta. That way both players are happy with what characters they have and don’t have to be dissatisfied that they didn’t get a certain character from a summoning banner. Secondly, I would like to see more ways for people who have played the game for a long time to obtain dragon stones such as certain events you unlock at level 200, 250, 300, 350,etc. Thirdly, I want certain characters made stronger and others made weaker, such as the recently added agl type super saiyan 4 Goku being a little weaker and the str type super saiyan 4 Vegeta being slightly stronger than he is now. Older characters definitely need to be made stronger either with an eza event or just a regular buff. That’s pretty much all I have to say about it, and hope that you give my ideas a thought!
One of the most generous mobile games out there
Thu Jul 23 2020 Minecraft = WinI’ve been playing since the global version was released and have logged in 90% of those days since it was released. I’ve seen this game grow into something great. Compared to other mobile anime summon type games Dokkan takes the other by a lot. You could spend zero money on this game and still have a great time, good characters, and enough stones to summon. The addition of a guaranteed SSR character on a x50 stone summon is huge and was the biggest step in the right direction. Also the inclusion of rates was huge too. When it’s celebration time either monthly or annually they give out honestly more than enough stones if you want to summon or save. This recent 5 year celebration has been the best yet and I expect to be better than the last each time. You could skip the monthly banners and save your stones because once the big annual celebrations hit you are treated to amazing summons with tickets, loads of stones, and content then you can summon on the banners and get the monthly Dokkan characters you missed. Lastly the coin system with 10 coins per 50 stone multi is monumental because it does push you summon more, but there’s an end goal in mind. Thank you Dokkan you have built memories, pasted time when bored, generated hype, and have created an amazing experience overall. I can’t wait to see what’s in store years down the line!
