Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero's most difficult and frustrating battle is forcing players to lower the difficulty level

It’s one of the battles in the video game’s Story Mode, featuring Goku and Vegeta.

In the Episode Battle mode of Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero, the new instalment in the Tenkaichi saga, revisits the story of some of the main characters in Akira Toriyama’s work. At the start of Z, Goku discovers his true identity and battles the invading Saiyans, who threaten to destroy the Earth and all living things. The battles of this arc can be enjoyed... or suffered, depending on your point of view. One such confrontation has caused many a player to have a nervous breakdown. The fight against Ozaru Vegeta (Monkey Vegeta) is so difficult that the game asks you to lower the difficulty. So much so that even Bandai Namco admits that ‘a win is a win’.

The problem is that, given the character’s size, it’s hard to dodge his powerful attacks, which quickly deplete Son Goku’s life bar, and the stage isn’t designed for such large models, so it’s easy to get stuck and vulnerable to Vegeta. The game hasn’t been officially released yet, but even the memes have started to appear in Early Access.

For the review of our colleagues in Spain, they commented that they had encountered the same problem. Try after try after try, and they were no closer to making Vegeta bite the dust. In the end, they decided to lower the difficulty and complete the challenge. They share the same sense of frustration that other players are now experiencing.

Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero will be released on 11 October for PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC.
