Good game for a single player aspect?

[Mateo | XlV]

I enjoy DBz and wondering if this has a campaign, challange modes? something like towers like MK. Not into the try hards in multiplayer

[yarego]

Yes it has that tower like mk but depending your grade on the fight you will fight with hard fighers or easy fighers, and practice mode, sorry but story mode is a trash. :)
if you have friends or brothers to play, you will have lot of fun. because graphic style is really impressive.

For SP, no.

The closest thing you can do in 1 player mode... Hard-mode arcade.
You can also find some like minded players on the forum / discords and arrange for fun fights and not lab rat races. Gotta find those people that like to have everyone stop and just charge up for the luls!

For SP, no.

the singleplayer in this game is presentable, but you shouldnt expect a recent FG to hold you over with SP content. theyre designed to be played online against other players, after all

only reason to play story mode is character interactions.

This game has terrible single player. Story mode has underwhelming plot and 80% of time you wil l fight clones and fighting clones is no fun but grind. Arcade mode is barely more fun than clone encounters and has no endings. This game is 4+ out of 10 in singleplayer. ANd around 8+ out of 10 in multi.

If you want fighter with good singleplayer than keep in mind that this genre is not the best in single player modes but...
-Injustice 2 is quite good for single player. 4/5 Hours of very good story mode and multiverse.
-Blazblue series has longest story modes that are very immersive and while from time to time you feel like its a bit too much talking it is good investment also BB has decent arcade modes. CF has probably longest story mode but unfortunately its only undubbet part so prepare for alot of reading. Remaining parts have shorter story modes are pretty dead online but cost a little especially during promo.
-Injustice 1/MK10 for decent story mode.
-MvCI for 2,5 H story mode (which doesnt tortures with grind like DBFZ and is more entertaining) and Arcade (minimalitstic unfortunately).


Overally If you are interested purely in singleplayer I recommand you these over DBFZ.
Because recently only Vanilla SF5 were worse for single player.

This is a good game. But it has the poorest singleplayer content among modern ArcSys fighting games. Speking of singleplayer content, it is definitely bad.
I'm quite surprised because singleplayer in BlazBlue and Guilty Gear was good. Even in recent Under Night in-Birth: Late[st] is better. Under Night in-Birth series is not developed by ArcSys, but by French-Bread, but in Late[st] feels ArcSys hand as publisher.

Collaboration happens.

SP is a mixed experience for me, I love the cutscenes and such from Story mode but there is absouletly no challenge in story mode unless you are a beginner to the genre, most opponents will act like training dummys for about 2 seconds before trying to attack. You can charge to 3-4 ki and still get the first strike.

As for Arcade, the experience is a lot better for the challenge, especially since it ramps up the difficulty depending on the grade you get. I'm not a fan of them just buffing the AI's damage thou, since at higher difficultys and ladders in Arcade you will see AI that does about 80% health with a super or combo.

If you are OK with that I'd say the single player experience is worth it.

[Brigadeos]

No, this game sucks as a single player game for the price. History mode is repetitive as hell and more like a visual novel than a game and arcade is just meh. Of course this game is an awesome fighting game and if you want to play online its really good, but if you want a single player experience this is not your game.

[R2015]

Unfortunately, not at all.

Story mode is like 10 times longer than it's got the contents for.
Arcade mode feels quite uninspired, AI difficulty = more damage and other buffs
That only leaves Practice mode, where the tutorial doesn't explain half the mechanics and the combo challenges get tedious quickly.

It's a fun game thanks to the online, but you run out of things to do by yourself quickly. For SP, I'd suggest MK (9) or MK X, you've always got stuff to do on your own there.

There are better games for sp. As a db fan you can find some enjoyment in the storymode cutscenes but that's about it. Main reasons to play this game are the online versus modes.
