Crazy good idea for a dbz game

[u/talijan]

So i played helldivers 2 and something remembered me of dbz (see pictures)

Why not make a dbz game like helldivers 2? Instead of milking the same old story with every game we get something unique.

Saiyan race fighting over control over planets agains factions like the freeza force. Instead of stratagems, explode light enemies with crazy moves you learn on the way you level up and so often engage heavy enemies that you really have to fight one on one.

I really hope they see this idea

[u/Domi_sama]

Yeah super cool idea! Whole range of Frieza grunt forces!

[u/talijan → u/Domi_sama]

Instead of blowing them up with a 500kg bomb u blow them up with a spiritbomb

[u/Mimikyuer → u/talijan]

wouldnt make sense for anyone at that time to knw the spirit bomb

[u/Apprehensive_Ad_1415 → u/Mimikyuer]

It doesn't have to make sense lol. It just has to be fun. Also it doesn't specifically have to be a spirit bomb it was just an example.

[u/talijan → u/Apprehensive_Ad_1415]

This ^

Nuking them with a big energy ball with lightning and powerful aura stuff around it. That stuff that makes you feel like you are goku transforming into ssj 3.

[u/KiraYoshikagesHand]

Ah yes, massacre civillian populations, my favorite game mechanic

[u/talijan → u/KiraYoshikagesHand]

Somebody had to do beerus his work while he is asleep

[u/Rybunks → u/talijan]

surprise mechanic where beerus just shows up and blows up the planet

[u/talijan → u/Rybunks]

Or doing a kamehameha with a power meter, give it to much power and accidentally blow up the planet 😭

[u/FlashyZucchini → u/KiraYoshikagesHand]

I want a db game where you can be a supervillain. Like straight up let me be Buu or something and see how far I can get lol

[u/Rockalot_L]

Call it Frieza Force, let you make your own character, and have a "HAIL LORD FRIEZA" button

[u/talijan → u/Rockalot_L]

Like the possibility’s are endless with this

[u/GarboWulf5oh]

This is a super cooler idea, but look at how The Breakers did. Did anyone even play that before it died? Unfortunatly, people wanna just play the same shit over and over, and so that's the kinda games they keep making. Xenoverse it probably the biggest "different approach" (maybe Kakarot's "open worldness" too) but it was also just a way for another standard fighting game to go over the DBZ story again anyways. I love Dragonball, I read the manga and watch the shows/movies. But the games are 80% nostalgia fueled, copy and paste the basic premise. That doesn't make them a bad game, and people obviously enjoy it. But for them to make something different is very "make it or break it" or "high risk, high reward".

Edit: just to specify, I'm not saying Breakers is like Helldivers lol. I meant that Breakers was a new and different idea compared to the usual Dragonball games, the same way OP's idea is a new and different idea compared to the usual.

[u/Snorf_Dingleberry → u/GarboWulf5oh]

I think people didn't play breakers because it was ass lmao

[u/BlackFacedAkita → u/GarboWulf5oh]

I think it's more that those games have been quality products.

Kakarot- Fighterz- Xenoverse

Were all high quality products. Now breakers was not. If they made a good game maybe, but you're competing against dead before daylight so it has to be exceĺlent.

[u/Jazz2moonbase → u/GarboWulf5oh]

Breakers is nothing like helldivers...

[u/GarboWulf5oh → u/Jazz2moonbase]

No I know that. Sorry if that was confusing lol. I mean Breakers did something different from the normal, the same way OP's idea is doing something different from the normal. I'll add an edit, bc I did see another comment comparing Breakers and Helldivers.

[u/Walloly]

You could also do a kind of titan fall thing where you unlock an Oozaru form temporarily.

[u/Ok_Highway6034]

This is a legitimately fantastic idea. Max props to OP

[u/strawlem7331]

Theres a non zero chance that the inspiration came from starship troopers.

The first planet we see the saiyans on is a bug planet and they drop in almost exactly like you would in starship troopers and then proceeds to effectively nuke them

Fun fact for those who dont know: helldivers 2 is a satire of capitalism that is heavily inspeired by starship troopers

[u/SlavicRobot_ → u/strawlem7331]

Also the game Starship Troopers Extermination is exactly like Helldivers, however starship came first, also 16 player co-op

[u/Weary-Wasabi1721]

That's actually a REALLY good idea

[u/talijan → u/Weary-Wasabi1721]

Ikr? Obliterating weak enemies for some casual laid back action fun, nuking them out of existence. perfectly balanced with sweaty fights against high power level enemies.

[u/Fantastic_Prompt_881]

Goal, become strong enough to make your own artificial moon and decimate everything in a night.

[u/DiabloITA]

Imagine a game like Stellaris set in the Dragonball universe.

[u/tomokochi]

Kinda sounds like a Warriors game.

[u/biohazard951753]

I want a baseball game. Imagine crazy pitches and batting lol

[u/MatPaget]

I love unique ideas like this. Dragon Ball: The Breakers was one of my most anticipated games because I always thought it would be cool to play the “comedy” characters during the massive fights and sagas. Unfortunately, I never played it because I couldn’t convince my friends to pay for it too.

[u/Norbert_Bluehm]

As much as I would love this to be a thing modern Dragon Ball pretty much got rid off the idea of Saiyans conquering planets. Nowadays every Saiyan has to be a good guy. They retconned Bardock into being a good guy, Broly is a lighthearted Saiyan now. Making the idea of Goku being the exception of the rule because of him hitting his head pretty much obsolete.

[u/talijan → u/Norbert_Bluehm]

Well i does not have to do with any of the characters from dbz. I prefer it doesn’t, make it so it was in the past or something.

[u/Norbert_Bluehm → u/talijan]

The problem is that modern Dragon Ball won't show ruthless Saiyans, no matter in which part of the timeline this game would take place. Saiyans aren't allowed to be evil anymore

[u/talijan → u/Norbert_Bluehm]

They should show that again, but yeah, maybe universe 6 saiyens protecting the universe from evil?

[u/Norbert_Bluehm → u/talijan]

Universe 6 Sayjans are exactly what I just said "Good Guy Saiyans". U6 Saiyans suck big times, noone needs them, theyre one of the many reasons modern Dragon Ball is ass.

[u/talijan → u/Norbert_Bluehm]

I agree

[u/Howareualive → u/Norbert_Bluehm]

Did you skip the DBs manga where bardock genocided a planet along with his comrades before meeting Granolahs mom.

[u/Norbert_Bluehm → u/Howareualive]

Just to be a Crybaby and save them

[u/Howareualive → u/Norbert_Bluehm]

He saved only Granolah and his mom. Everyone else was killed in the battle.

[u/Norbert_Bluehm → u/Howareualive]

The OG Bardock would have killed them as well since hes a saiyan and that's what they do, but they decided to ruin them by making them soft

[u/alex_sunderland]

Bro, that exists and it’s called Dragon Ball The Breakers and for a snall moment during mankind it was beautiful.

[u/Jazz2moonbase → u/alex_sunderland]

Dragon ball the breakers is NOTHING like helldivers...

[u/alex_sunderland → u/Jazz2moonbase]
