Gameplay is probably not the best, it actually was what made me drop the game for a while, but the art style and the visuals, the particle effects, the RPG elements and flying as Goku or any of the Z Fighters around the world of dragon ball, which is very beautifully crafted and very loyal to the anime btw, are what make the game stand out. Re-living the story of Dbz, again, very loyal to the anime/manga, it was just peak. The ending of the Buu saga made me tear up a bit. Dragon Ball is a very special franchise to me, its part of what made me who I am today, and for that, IΒ΄m eternally grateful. R.I.P Akira Toriyama, thank you for everything.

Amazing animation, not the best gameplay. a good excuse to "rewatch" dragon ball in an "interactive" way. The prices are scams, better wait sales to buy it.

June 2025
I’ve played almost every Dragon Ball game since the PlayStation 2 daysβ€”some great, some forgettableβ€”but Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot did something most of them never really tried: it gave me time to slow down and actually live inside the DBZ universe. This isn’t just another fighting game. It’s part RPG, part love letter, part interactive animeβ€”and honestly? It kind of rules. Yes, Kakarot retells the entire Dragon Ball Z sagaβ€”from Raditz’s arrival to Majin Buu’s final meltdown. You’ve seen this story a hundred times. But playing through it here hits different. You don’t just drop into fightsβ€”you live through the moments between them: fishing with Gohan, flying over lush landscapes on your Nimbus, visiting Capsule Corp for upgrades, and even hunting dinosaurs like it’s no big deal. There’s a surprising amount of quiet time, and that’s what makes Kakarot shine. It’s not just about punching Cell into orbit. It’s about being a dad, a farmer, a fighterβ€”and sometimes, a bad husband (sorry, Chi-Chi). Combat is similar to arena-style brawlers like Xenoverse, but simplified. You’ve got ki blasts, melee combos, dodges, transformations, and flashy super attacksβ€”plus dramatic finishers for boss fights that feel straight out of the anime. It’s accessible, but not without challenge. Boss fights, especially in later arcs or DLC, come with phase shifts, scripted moments, and cinematic clashes that sell the DBZ power fantasy hard. It’s not the deepest combat systemβ€”but it feels good, and when you’re blasting a Kamehameha into Perfect Cell’s smug face, that’s all that matters. Beyond fighting, you level up characters, unlock new abilities through training, collect ingredients to cook stat-boosting meals, and equip β€œCommunity Boards” that add passive buffs based on character synergy. It's not super complex, but it adds variety. Exploration is charmingβ€”zones are colorful, and flying around the open-ish world collecting Z-Orbs or finding side quests is just relaxing. Some filler missions are goofy (deliver milk, chase dinosaurs, etc.), but they ground the experience in that quirky Dragon Ball world. Also: Yes, you can spar with Yamcha. Yes, he will still lose. The cel-shaded visuals are vibrant, faithful, and expressiveβ€”easily among the best in any Dragon Ball game. Character animations are full of energy, and the cinematic cutscenes (especially for big story beats) are jaw-dropping at times. Voice acting is available in both English and Japanese, and both casts bring their A-game. Pair that with a soundtrack that channels the anime’s spirit (and even includes some original Japanese themes in the Deluxe editions), and it’s pure nostalgia. Since launch, Kakarot has added tons of DLC, including: -A New Power Awakens (Beerus, Super Saiyan God forms) -Trunks: The Warrior of Hope (a darker alternate timeline) -Bardock: Alone Against Fate -23rd World Tournament Arc (Goku vs. Piccolo Jr.) -Goku’s Next Journey (End of Z arc) These expand beyond Z and give you a peek into the Dragon Ball Super and even pre-Z lore, making the game feel like a full Dragon Ball experience, not just a Z rehash. Strengths -Fully playable, emotional retelling of DBZ’s entire story -Unique blend of fighting and RPG mechanics -Beautiful visuals and dramatic cutscenes -Tons of fan service and character moments -Strong DLC support keeps the experience fresh Weaknesses -Side quests can be repetitive or bland -Combat may feel shallow for hardcore fighting fans -World isn’t truly β€œopen”—more segmented - Enemy AI is a bit too easy outside major boss fights Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot doesn’t just let you relive the animeβ€”it lets you be the anime. It focuses less on competitive mechanics and more on narrative, atmosphere, and immersion. And honestly? That’s exactly what I wanted. Whether you’re soaring through the sky, cooking fish with Gohan, or going toe-to-toe with Kid Buu in a thunderstorm of ki blasts, this game never lets you forget what made Dragon Ball Z magical in the first place. A faithful, heartfelt tribute to Dragon Ball Z, packed with style, spirit, and just enough meathead charm. It’s not the strongest fighter. But it might be the most soulful DBZ game we’ve ever had. Rating: 8/10

I've only ever watched the DBZ show once all the way through and I wanted to experience the story again, but didn't really have 117 hours to spend doing so, and even though I haven't finished it, this game has definitely scratched that itch. It's a great retelling of the story with optional side content, if you want to go deeper into it all. It's got great fighting mechanics and the open world segments are really fun. It can feel pretty repetitive at times, but so can the anime, in all honesty. Definitely worth a go if you're a DBZ fan. Not sure why you're here if you're not a DBZ fan.
