Containing the debut of a new anime and manga, the 2010s proved to be a huge decade for Akira Toriyama's Dragon BallDragon Ball Super: Broly earned an international theatrical release and was generally well-received by fans of the iconic franchise. Meanwhile, Dragon Ball continued to churn out video game adaptations across multiple console generations and hardware.

Taking mobile and handheld games into account, Dragon Ball produced considerably more than just 10 games over the last decade. However, which of these titles were the best? Have some already aged poorly? Alternatively, were certain games subjected to an unfair shake upon initial release?

To answer those questions, here are the best 10 Dragon Ball games released in the last decade!

10 Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2

Before proceeding any further, it should be clarified that the majority of the entries on this list are deeply flawed. It would not be too much of an exaggeration to describe Raging Blast 2 as a bad game, just another half-baked 3-D fighter in a franchise packed to the brim with them.

Unlike something like XenoverseRaging Blast 2 boasts a surprisingly complex battle system, arguably among the best to grace an anime arena fighter. Spike, the developer responsible for the PlayStation 2's Budokai Tenkaichi trilogy, worked on Raging Blast 2, and it definitely shows in the gameplay. Unfortunately, the single-player opts for a mission-based structure that is just not that enjoyable to experience.

9 Dragon Ball Z: Battle Of Z

Battle of Z garnered a bad rap when it was first released, with the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions scoring in the low-50s on Metacritic. Approached as a 3-D fighter, Battle of Z is shallow, repetitive, and a huge step back after Raging Blast 2 or even the terrible Ultimate Tenkaichi. That said, Battle of Z is not meant to be played as a standard arena fighter.

No, this a team-based co-op action game that rewards selecting a strategically-selected team capable of neutralizing the opposition. There is even a fun customization system involving cards designed to alter a character's disposition.

Once seen as more of a strategy game, Battle of Z becomes easier to digest and is especially worth playing on the PS Vita.

8 Dragon Ball Legends

Mobiles games tend to be dismissed as cash-grabs lacking substance. Now, in all fairness, Legends does not do much to threaten that perception, but it is still a pretty decent collectible card game filled with fanservice. Legends even has an original story and multiple new characters, so this isn't just a rehash of the same old story arcs.

While not a great game, Legends is a decent way for fans of the franchise to spend an hour or two. Dokkan Battle is also a fun time.

7 Dragon Ball Z: Tenkaichi Tag Team

The "Tenkaichi" name stopped meaning much once Budokai Tenkaichi 3 hit the scene, and the same can practically be said for Spike's Dragon Ball games. Raging Blast 2 presented a great combat system but very little reason to actually play the modes, while Ultimate Tenkaichi was just a sad attempt at recapturing the lost magic.

Out of all the post-Budokai Tenkaichi 3 entries, Dragon Ball Z: Tenkaichi Tag Team is the only one that is worth anything, and that has mostly to do with it being a PSP exclusive. Simply put, Tenkaichi Tag Team is a respectable portable alternative to the console games.

6 Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission

For the longest while, Dragon Ball Heroes looked destined to remain confined to Japan, as Western fans stared longingly at this strange arcade card game that pushed fanservice to over 9000. In a surprising move, Bandai announced the worldwide release of Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission for the Nintendo Switch and Microsoft Windows.

As a version of Dragon Ball Heroes that can be played at home or on the go, World Mission is overwhelmingly awesome, even if matches tend to get repetitive rather quickly. With over a thousand cards to collect and a single-player mode that easily requires at least two dozen hours to complete, World Mission is addictive and an incredible tribute to the source material.

5 Dragon Ball Online

Dragon Ball Online was a short-lived MMORPG set in Toriyama's Dragon Ball universe and was only released in Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Set over 200 years after the events of the Buu Saga, Online served as the ultimate wish fulfillment for those who longed to walk the same roads as Goku or Vegeta.

Despite not being officially released in English and the original servers closing down in 2013, Dragon Ball fans have kept the MMO alive through emulation. Furthermore, DBO was essentially a precursor to the Xenoverse series and introduced Towa and Mira to the Dragon Ball universe.

4 Dragon Ball Fusions

Dragon Ball Fusions delivers exactly what is advertised by its title. The Nintendo 3DS game allows for around 700 different fusions, the majority of which would not have been possible outside of fan fiction. In terms of gameplay, Fusions is primarily turn-based, with the main mechanic being that any of the characters on both teams can fuse to pull off stronger moves. There is even the option to fuse all five characters in a team.

Fusions has a lengthy campaign that touches upon all the Dragon Ball incarnations, a delightful central gimmick, and pretty visuals for a handheld game. The fights tend to last forever, but they're worth pushing through just to see what would happen when Broly fuses with Beerus.

3 Dragon Ball: Origins 2

When it comes to handheld games, Dragon Ball had a decent decade, for the most part. Offering a welcome break from the likes of Frieza and Vegeta, 2010's Origins 2 is based on the original animeDragon Ball, and was released on the Nintendo DS.

Origins 2 primarily sticks to the Red Ribbon Army saga, with Goku pummeling his way through multiple levels and bosses. Presenting from a top-down perspective, Origins 2 is a skill-based beat 'em up that leans heavily into combos and does not pull its punches when it comes to difficulty. While the visuals are dated, this DS game is still among the best Dragon Ball games of the decade.

2 Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2

Basically rendering its predecessor obsolete by recycling many of the same missions, Xenoverse 2 is the best 3-D Dragon Ball fighter of the 2010s. Despite boasting simplistic combat, Xenoverse 2 makes up for its battle system's lack of depth with a ton of unlockables, a customization system that permits fans to create their ultimate fan characters, and a gloriously silly story that toes the line between awfulness and awesomeness.

Xenoverse 2 has remained relevant due to a steady stream of updates since its 2016 release, with even characters from 2018's Dragon Ball FighterZ being added. Is it a perfect game? No. However, Xenoverse 2 is strangely difficult to put down.

1 Dragon Ball FighterZ

Was the top spot ever in doubt? Dragon Ball FighterZ managed the impossible and established itself as an eSports regular, something the license's video games have never even come close to accomplishing. Arc System Works' 2-D fighter brought respect to the franchise, especially in a decade that saw more than its fair share of subpar Dragon Ball games.

FighterZ boasts stunning visuals that often surpass Dragon Ball Super, a battle system that streamlines Arc's often overwhelming combat mechanics while maintaining a degree of complexity to keep experienced players engaged, and a single-player mode with a brand new storyline. Admittedly, the latter isn't all that great and overstays its welcome, but FighterZ is primarily a multiplayer game anyway.
