History VideoGame / DragonBallTheBreakers

** Similarly, the dragon balls don't spawn for Goku Black and Zamasu either. That's because the two of them destroyed the super dragon balls in their own timeline, and the earth dragon balls are still inoperable in Trunk's timeline.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: For balance reasons, there's a few aspects of raiders that don't get adapted into the game such as their regeneration. While Cell and Buu gain health back from their absorption of civilians and survivors, Cell is supposed to be able to heal back from grievous wounds, while it's explicitly said that anything but a single overpowering attack or a constant barrage of attacks without breaks. Obviously, this would make them full on invincible villains, so their ability to heal their wounds is pretty muted.

** Frieza is shown in the intro of Broly's cutscene, but completely disappears afterwards.

* AdaptationalWimp: A strange case with Captain Ginyu. When Ginyu uses his Body Change technique, he punches a hole in his chest beforehand. In the original, this only left Goku heavily injured after the swap, but still able to get himself back up and eventually reconvene with the others, while here, the Survivor Ginyu swaps with is considered dead.

** The Raider killing civilians shows a close-up of the Raider attacking them and the civilian letting out a scream. But the blow itself is off-screen.

** Cell starts off in his Larval form, only capable of running, jumping, and tackling. His skillset only opens up once he reaches his first form.
** Frieza starts off in his first form, flying in his hoverpod and having only a weak laser attack until he attains his second form.

** Vegeta starts off with you playing as a weaker Saibaman that is unable to fly and has weak attack range, before progressing onto Nappa for the second phase, who is comparatively a bit easier to kill than other Raiders at level 2. His later levels make up for it in terms of strength and range.

* BarrierWarrior: Chi-Chi comes with The Flames of Mount Frypan special ability, which creates a wall of fire that acts as a barrier and needs a few hits from the Raider to be knocked down, ideally giving her enough time to flee or hide.

* BreakingOldTrends: Broly stands out from previous Raiders as the first Raider to start at level 2, lack any methods of tracking Survivors, the Dragon Balls are not present when he is the selected Raider, and has two skills that can be used while damaged.
* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: It's a very bad idea to attack a Raider without a Dragon Change. However, it can buy a few seconds to protect the Super Time Machine, or let it finish, until help arrives.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Compared to prior games, where bad futures may have been shown but were generally averted to create a better outcome, this game is entirely hinged on the idea that you're not a Z-Fighter, but on-par with the ordinary civilians that die by the truckloads in canon. Failure to escape or defeat the Raider spells explicit death, and while obviously the game has BloodlessCarnage, it still has scenes of the Raiders murdering the Survivors in some of the darkest content in all of the games altogether.

** Majin Buu starts the game in his cocoon, with the player controlling the comparatively weak human fighter Spopovich as they harvest energy to feed to Buu.

** Broly starts in his normal “Rage” form, then goes Super Saiyan, and then accesses his full power form.

** Raider Vegeta is treated as one of these to a certain extent with Nappa, the point where both of them appear on the Raider loading screen rather than Great Ape Vegeta. He can also use Nappa as an assist character, provided Nappa survives.

* TheDividual: Raider Vegeta is treated as one of these to a certain extent with Nappa, the point where both of them appear on the Raider loading screen rather than Great Ape Vegeta. He can also use Nappa as an assist character, provided Nappa survives.

** The duo Raider of Goku Black and Zamasu starts off with Future Zamasu, who is immortal but untrained, before switching to Goku Black, who's more combat-capable but rather slow. Level 3 has Goku Black transform into Super Saiyan Rose, which gets a speed boost and better attacks. Fused Zamasu has a ''much'' larger range of attacks and can rain down destruction from on high.

* CastFromHitpoints: A transformed Survivor's Super Attacks significantly drain their energy, reducing the time they can spend in a Dragon Change form. This even applies to Ultimate Transformations after Season 5, but with a massively reduced cost.
