Dragon Ball Z Kakarot: How Well did the DBZ-Inspired RPG Game Turn Out?

Reviews

Dragonball Z: Kakarot has a unique take of the famous anime that starred the fan-favorite Son Goku. Mixing the concept of a fighting game with a role-playing game (RPG) type of gameplay makes the game one of those you should try out. With an open-world setting, you can enjoy yourself moving around like you are actually in the Dragonball Z world. Being a unique game, other than fighting opponents, you can even do things like training, collecting Zorbs, fishing, eating, and even driving around with a hover car. This game has its positives and negatives, which we will look into in this review.

Dragonball Z Kakarot Gameplay Review

For the positives, let us start with the in-game story. For the story part, the game dove into the four main sagas in the Dragonball Z anime. These main sagas were the Saiyan, Namek, Android, and the Buu saga. The game was able to do justice to these different sagas in Dragonball Z. It includes other scenes from the anime series. A true fan can relive those days binge-watching the anime while also controlling your favorite Z character.

On the other hand, for the positives, in-game features, the game’s primary purpose is to make the storyline excited. The part wherein you collect different orbs adds more to this excitement! Take note that these orbs are what you will use to attain your characters’ new abilities in the game.

Visual and Sound Effects

The visuals and sound effects used in the game were pretty cool. As a player, you can make you feel like you were actually in the anime. Furthermore, the RPG gameplay helps to suck you into playing the game. Having a complex experience leveling up system that includes a skill tree to upgrade your super moves, this in-game feature helps improve Dragonball Z’s playability: Kakarot.

Besides, it also features buying and cooking food to restore Ki, HP. All because to provide and provide buffs to your characters to make you last longer in your goal to finish all quests and defeat the bosses. Well, who wouldn’t want to defeat and win against the bosses, right?

Now let us also look into the one underwhelming thing of this game – which may lead gamers to avoid finishing the game. Those gamers who are not really into Dragonball Z may find that this game repetitive. As compared to other Dragonball Z fighting games, this has not included the complex button combinations a player might be able to do in a fight.

Also, on top of the fantastic animation that you see, fighting becomes monotonous. You only choose between options on which move or skill to use against your opponent. This point is the problem with the RPG part of the game and makes it undesirable for a known fighting anime like Dragonball Z.
