Power Warriors

Power Warriors is what happens when you take the chaos of Dragon Ball’s most iconic brawls and shove them into a side-scrolling, hyperactive mobile game that looks like it just burst out of a Saturday morning cartoon. Built by solo dev Arielazo, this scrappy 2D fighter throws you into lightning-fast 1v1s, 3v3 team clashes, and boss gauntlets with a playable roster that reads like a fan wiki wishlist: Goku, Vegeta, Trunks, Gohan, they’re all here, fists flying.

But this isn’t just a button-masher with a Saiyan paint job. Power Warriors comes loaded with modes, from Arcade and Survival to a full Story mode split across six sagas and 20 levels. Each stage offers its own bite-sized storyline and piles of in-game currency (coins, diamonds, gems) to scoop up along the way. The moment-to-moment action? Snappy, responsive, and constantly rewarding, especially when you finally master the timing of a teleport behind an enemy just before blasting them off the screen.

And while it’s clearly made for short bursts of play, Power Warriors still manages to drip-feed a satisfying sense of progress. Unlockable characters come with their own stats and playstyles, so there’s real value in trying out that weird side-mode or grinding a boss fight again to earn more rewards. You might start with Goku, but you’ll stay for the thrill of discovering who clicks best with your button-mashing instincts.

“Power Warriors doesn’t just let you relive your favorite anime battles, it lets you rewrite them.”

Visually, it’s got that crisp pixel-art vibe that’s halfway between retro handheld game and fan-made animation. It pops, it moves fast, and it somehow feels right at home on a touchscreen. The interface is friendly enough that even a casual player can jump in and start landing air combos like they’ve been training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

The one downside? It’s not on the app store, so updates are more DIY than automatic. But if you’re looking for a free-to-play fighter that lets you hit Super Saiyan speeds from the comfort of your phone, Power Warriors absolutely goes Ultra Instinct.
