[h3]The Dragon Ball Adventure I Always Wanted[/h3] Many Dragon Ball games focus primarily on the fights. While combat is obviously a huge part of the franchise, there has always been much more to the series than simply watching characters throw energy blasts at each other. What makes [b]DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT[/b] special is that it understands this perfectly. Rather than simply recreating the major battles, the game allows players to truly live in the world of Dragon Ball. You don't just experience the story of Goku and the Z Warriors—you become part of their daily lives, exploring the world, meeting familiar characters, training, fishing, eating, and discovering countless details that fans of the series will immediately recognize and appreciate. After completing the base game 100%, I can confidently say that this is one of the most immersive Dragon Ball experiences ever created. [h3]A Faithful Recreation of an Iconic Story[/h3] The main story follows the events of Dragon Ball Z from the arrival of Raditz onward, recreating the most memorable moments of the anime with impressive attention to detail. What I particularly appreciated is how faithful the game remains to the source material. While certain scenes are adapted to fit the game's structure, the overall narrative feels very respectful of both the manga and especially the anime. The emotional moments, character development, and legendary battles that made Dragon Ball Z such a beloved series are all present and beautifully recreated. For longtime fans, revisiting these iconic sagas feels like reconnecting with old friends. [h3]More Than Just the Main Story[/h3] One of the biggest strengths of [b]DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT[/b] is the amount of optional content available. The world is filled with side activities, side quests, collectibles, training opportunities, and references to both major and minor moments from the anime. Some of these even draw inspiration from famous filler episodes that many fans still remember fondly today. Yes, even the legendary driving school episode is here. Moments like these perfectly capture what makes the game so charming. It doesn't only focus on the battles everyone remembers; it celebrates the entire Dragon Ball experience, including the lighter and more humorous moments that helped define the series. [h3]Spectacular Battles and Satisfying Combat[/h3] Of course, no Dragon Ball game would be complete without incredible fights. The battles in [b]DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT[/b] manage to capture the speed, power, and scale that fans expect. Watching characters move at incredible speeds, launch devastating energy attacks, and transform during major encounters never gets old. Many of the story's most important battles feel genuinely epic, often recreating scenes that anime fans have loved for decades. The result is a combat system that may not be the deepest in the genre, but consistently succeeds at making the player feel powerful and immersed in the Dragon Ball universe. [h3]A Beautiful Anime World to Explore[/h3] Visually, the game is stunning. The cel-shaded graphics do an excellent job of recreating Akira Toriyama's iconic art style while adding a level of detail that allows the world to feel alive and expansive. Flying across mountains, forests, deserts, and familiar locations is enjoyable even when you have no specific objective in mind. The freedom to roam through these environments contributes enormously to the feeling of immersion. For many fans, simply existing in the Dragon Ball world is already part of the appeal, and the game fully embraces that idea. [h3]Japanese Voices and an Outstanding Soundtrack[/h3] I played the game with Japanese voices and subtitles, just as I watch anime, and for me this is unquestionably the best way to experience it. Hearing the original voice actors brings an additional layer of authenticity that makes key moments even more impactful. The performances are exactly what longtime fans would hope for and help strengthen the connection between the game and the anime. The soundtrack deserves equal praise. Whether accompanying emotional scenes, peaceful exploration, or large-scale battles, the music consistently enhances the experience and perfectly captures the spirit of Dragon Ball. [h3]A Love Letter to Dragon Ball Fans[/h3] More than anything else, [b]DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT[/b] feels like a celebration of everything that made Dragon Ball so special. It respects the source material, embraces both its serious and lighthearted moments, and allows players to experience the world in a way that few Dragon Ball games have ever attempted. Whether you're reliving childhood memories or discovering these stories for the first time, the game constantly reminds you why Dragon Ball became one of the most influential anime franchises in history. [h3]Final Verdict[/h3] [b]DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT[/b] is much more than a fighting game. It is an immersive journey through one of the most beloved anime worlds ever created. With its faithful story adaptation, beautiful visuals, memorable soundtrack, excellent voice acting, enjoyable exploration, and abundance of side content, it succeeds at delivering something many Dragon Ball fans have wanted for years: the opportunity to truly live inside the world of Dragon Ball. For anyone who loves the series, this is an easy recommendation and one of the best ways to experience the story of Goku and the Z Warriors in video game form.

The game is crazy good but if you think long term after a while the same combos get boring,

Jogaço, já tinha zerado outras vezes em consoles que tive, e vale muito a pena. Único ponto negativo é a Bandai colocar presos abusivos nas DLCs

I love this game, but for the love of God dont buy this game, my game has faulty save bugs. Randomly it lose your game files when you know you saved multiple times at different points in time. The game had revert my game like 5 saves ago and I have lost all the interest in playing the game. this has happened multiple times

[h1]Nostalgia Trip of a Lifetime (100% Base Game Completion Review)[/h1] Just wrapped up the base game and locked down [b]100% of the achievements[/b]. My Steam clock shows [b]77.8 hours[/b], though with some AFK time cooked into that, it’s probably closer to 70 hours of actual active gameplay. I didn't skip a thing! Cleared every single main quest, side quest, training session, and unlocked all the cooking recipes. If you grew up watching Dragon Ball Z, this game is an incredible trip down memory lane. From the moment the opening cinematic hits until the credits roll on the final boss of the base game, it genuinely made me feel like a kid sitting in front of the TV again. It is hands-down one of the best games out there for experiencing the actual story of the series in an interactive way. It faithfully covers everything from the Saiyan Saga through the Buu Saga, but the extra fan service and world-building scenes are what really stand out. Visually, if you're looking for ultra-realism and top-of-the-line graphical fidelity, go play Street Fighter. Dragon Ball games have always embraced their anime roots, and Kakarot nails that aesthetic perfectly. The world exploration is a great touch, too. Flying around, gathering items, and interacting with characters between major plot points makes the world feel alive, which is a massive step up from your typical menu-based fighting game adaptation. The combat itself is accessible, fast-paced, and captures that classic high-energy DBZ vibe. Pulling off massive combos, transformations, and signature ultimate attacks feels incredibly satisfying. I really came to appreciate how much care went into compiling the Z Encyclopedia and the scattered "Memory" collectibles from the original classic Dragon Ball series. The developers absolutely didn't have to include these optional lore entries, but collecting them felt like an incredible bonus for long-time fans. It proves just how much genuine love went into honoring the franchise's entire history rather than just checking boxes for a standard DBZ game. [h1]The Gripes[/h1] That being said, a few things definitely started to grind on me during my 70-hour completion run: [list] [*] [b]No Overworld Transformations:[/b] Even after you unlock skills that let you automatically start battles as a Super Saiyan, you [i]still[/i] can't stay transformed while flying around the overworld. It really stinks to constantly revert back to your base form the second a fight ends. Let me fly around as a Super Saiyan! [*] [b]Simplistic Combat Loop:[/b] The fights do become pretty repetitive and simple after a while. To be completely honest, I wasn't expecting or hoping for the depth of something like [i]Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero[/i]—if I wanted that, I'd just go play that instead, but it's still worth noting if you want deep mechanics. [*] [b]Frustrating Enemy "Hyper Armor":[/b] To make up for the simplistic combat, the game relies way too heavily on bosses gaining total hit immunity. Watching an enemy suddenly turn red, completely ignore your multi-hit combo, and force you to just back away and wait out their unblockable super attack completely destroys the flow of an otherwise fun fight. [*] [b]Annoying Random Encounters:[/b] The random overworld enemies are way too frequent. Trying to explore or fly around while constantly being chased by the same recycled random encounters gets old fast and feels pretty lazy. [/list] [h1]Final Verdict[/h1] Despite the repetitive fights and overworld gripes, [i]Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot[/i] is a deeply enjoyable and faithful adaptation. It's a fantastic mix of action and RPG mechanics that actually lets you live through the anime. The base game was an absolute blast, and if you're a fan of the franchise, it's 100% worth the time investment. [h2]On to the DLC![/h2] I was able to grab the base game with the DLCs for a decent price and I am excited to see what each of the DLCs brings to the table! I plan on playing through all of them next, and I'll drop a separate review for each expansion as I finish it. [h3]The secrets within the game are also worth it![/h3] [spoiler]Seeing Android 21 pop up was awesome! I honestly thought she was going to be a Dragon Ball FighterZ exclusive forever. Plus, it was a really cool touch getting to see Bonyu and learn more about her background as the hidden 6th member of the Ginyu Force. And last but not least, seeing Towa and Mira was a nice touch. Tying in the Xenoverse/Online lore through the Villainous team side-quests is one of the coolest world-building aspects of the endgame.[/spoiler]

ドラゴンボールじゃなかったらクソゲーかな、と思ってしまいました。 単調な戦闘をして、アニメを見て、また戦闘して、たまにインターバル（お使いサブイベ）と言う感じで 皆さんが書かれているように、本当に面白いか？って思っています。 ですがドラゴンボールを追体験というか、アニメを見ている気持ちでなら楽しめるかもしれません。 とにかくゲームと言うよりはアニメの合間合間にバトルがある、ってぐらいの認識の方がいいかもしれません。

Если впадлу смотреть 290 серий оригинального аниме, то можно люто заларпить и пройти данную игру. А всем фанатам драконих боллсов настоятельно рекомендую ознакомится c этой игрой (хотя бы с базовой версией).

내나이 47 유치한 게임일까? 역시 유치 했다 하지만 이게임을 하면서 난 12살 드래곤볼 만화책 단행본을 사며 두근두근 했던 그 시절로 잠시 돌아간 기분이. 요즘 삶이 팍팍 했는데. 잠시 나에게 단비가 되어준 게임. 잠시 즐겁고 그리웠습니다. 그때 그시절 그느낌

While I prefer other Dragon Ball games for their fighting systems, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot definitely is the best way to experience the story. The storymode is (mostly) very faithful to the manga (and anime) and has some insane, beautiful cinematics. The combat system is a little simple, and there is some bloat in the game with repetitive encounters, but still definitely worth it if you want to re-experience the story in a great, interactive way.
