DRAGON BALL Z KAKAROT REVIEW SERIES

This wouldn’t be an issue if it didn’t actively take away from enjoying actually being in the universe. You’re able to fly around and collect orbs throughout the world, which allow you to unlock character upgrades. The world of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is not actually open-world, instead opting for a Witcher 3-esque open region system.

And it comes with fairly mixed results.Īlthough it’s named Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, you are able to play as a litany of the main characters featured throughout the series including Gohan, Piccolo, Trunks and Vegeta as they go on their quest to hunt the Dragon Balls, save Earth by way of lots of punching, or just have a lovely time fishing. With the scale of the concept, the developers at Cyberconnect 2, of Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm and Asura’s Wrath fame gave it their best shot. This is no easy task, as the decades-spanning series sees our characters age, and always pushes the intensity higher.

Like the Legacy of Goku series and the Dragon Ball: Sagas game before it, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot attempts to adapt the entirety of the Dragon Ball Z anime. But a select few have attempted to capture the same world and tone of the series, but they never quite hit the mark. Gaming adaptations of Dragon Ball have often come and gone, most of them fighters. It’s a portal into a simpler time, where for some reason there are tiger-dudes and dragons roaming around in the countryside. From a young age, the Dragon Ball series has never really grown up, and that’s a good thing. For a certain age group, Dragon Ball Z was a first foray into the world of serialised kids television, with characters, a sense of humour and lots of screaming.
