The game features high-impact two vs two combat.

The games are quite different from the often-compared Goku series; they use a "behind-the-back" third-person camera perspective. Also different from the Saiyan Battle series each form is treated as its own character, with varying stats, movesets and fighting styles

In battle, players can build up their Ki gauge to execute various techniques such as the Power Guard, which reduces the damage characters take by 1/4. The Ki gauge can also be used to use moves referred to as Blast 2 skills. Every character has a unique set of Blast 2 skills that allow the character to use special moves such as Ki blasts and physical attacks.

The story mode of the series progresses similarly to the story modes in previous games. Players can select battles from different sagas and proceed through the story
