Dimension Ruination

Dimension Ruination is a 2.5-D fighting game published and developed by Ultima Games. It is the final chapter in the "Dimension" trilogy, and unlike its predecessors, is not actually a mod of existing titles. The game was released in Early 2019.
== Summary ==
Dimension Ruination reverts to the 3v3 gameplay present in Dimension Clash. As a result, assist attacks (though all characters have access to only one, like in Tatsunoko vs Capcom and Dragon Ball FighterZ) and Delayed Hyper Combos make a return. In addition, a new aerial snap back mechanic and the Sparking Mechanic (similar to X-Factor from Dimension Clash) are introduced alongside a new feature in the Shenron Summon system.
To summon Shenron, fighters must string together a fairly large number of hit in a combo in order to obtain a Dragon Ball, though can still gain a random one one by doing actions such as performing a hyper-cancel combo or performing a complete auto-combo by mashing the Light attack button. Once all seven Dragon Balls are collected, the player who got the last one (while also having all five bars of hyper meter) summons Shenron to grant any one out of four possible wishes:
* Restore my health!- Restores your point character to full health
* Give me the ultimate power!- Gains another Sparking icon
* Make me immortal!- Restores 5% of your point character's health while auto-refilling hyper meter gauge
* Bring back my ally!- Revives a fallen teammate with 50% health
It has been confirmed that this feature can be turned off so that in major tournaments, this won't slow down any matches if Shenron is summoned.

== Characters ==
The full retail roster contains 36 playable characters (including four unlockable characters that do not appear in the game's story), with fourteen of them being newcomers and four veterans returning from Dimension Clash after not being playable in Dimension Brawl.
Much like in Dimension Brawl's story mode, there are a fair amount of characters that act as NPCs and therefore are not playable by any means. The final boss of Arcade Mode and Story Mode is confirmed to be Grapha, Dragon Lord of the Dark World.
A month after the game was initially released, a then-recent patch for the game was datamined and revealed four new characters set for DLC. These characters were initially leaked via pre-release datamining, but unlike this leak, their identities were not revealed. The characters were released a month later alongside two new stages.
In late April 2019, Ultima announced that the popularity of the first DLC pack motivated the team to release a second pack including four more characters (two of them being "legacy characters" from Dimension Clash) and two more stages, one of them being the boss stage. The pack was later released in May 2019.
On May 28th, a third DLC pack was teaseon on Ultima's Twitter, featuring vague parts of four certain characters' official artwork. Two days later, a trailer had been released consisting of those new characters (two of them being "legacy characters" from Dimension Clash and Dimension Brawl) alongside a new "Grapha mode", which acts similarly to Galactus Mode from Ultimate Dimension Clash, to be added in for free in an upcoming patch. The DLC is slated for release in June 18.
