The early access launch of Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero has stirred excitement among fans, but the game’s steep difficulty has sparked a heated debate within the community. While the Dragon Ball franchise is known for delivering intense battles that remain faithful to the anime, the new title seems to have pushed the challenge too far for many players, particularly during a notorious encounter in the game.
One of the key points of contention is the battle against Great Ape Vegeta. Players on Reddit, such as user MountainDou, have expressed frustration over Vegeta’s relentless Galick Gun attacks, which many claim are nearly impossible to dodge. Additionally, user Cirkusleader mentioned that certain sections of the story mode feel “borderline impossible,” with enemies inflicting massive damage and executing complex combos with little warning.
The general sentiment within the community is that Sparking! Zero needs a balance patch, particularly for the harder fights. Spike Chunsoft, the developer, has yet to address these concerns. While some suggest players need to invest more time in tutorials to master the mechanics, even veteran fans of the series have reported difficulties.
As only a limited number of players have early access to the game, it’s unclear if the developers will make any changes before the full release. However, the sheer volume of complaints suggests that adjustments, especially to the Great Ape Vegeta fight, may be necessary to strike the right balance between challenge and enjoyment.
