    The first time you experience Dragon Ball, it’s magical. Whether you watched the anime on late-night television as a kid, read the manga on a whim in-between college semesters, or dove into the series as an adult, there’s a reason so many people across the globe hold this story so close to their hearts.

Whether you watched the anime on late-night television as a kid, read the manga on a whim in-between college semesters, or dove into the series as an adult, there’s a reason so many people across the globe hold this story so close to their hearts. This long-running franchise has delivered countless story arcs that masterfully combine goofy anime antics with shocking encounters and oh-so-satisfying battles.
    As Dragon Ball became Dragon Ball Z and the franchise continued to expand in breadth and popularity, video games began to be released that added an initially ground-breaking level of interactivity to these iconic Dragon Ball Z stories. As time went on, though, it was the same early story arcs of Dragon Ball Z were adapted, retold and summarised in dozens of video game adaptations of this intergalactic action series. By now fans likely don’t want to play yet another arena brawler that makes you re-live the Saiyan invasion and the onslaught of Cell. Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot aims to give these familiar stories a fresh coat of paint with a more focused, RPG-oriented experience, but does it do enough to warrant seeing Raditz get a hole in his gut for the millionth time?

    El juego en si es muy divertido y nos permite experimentar la historia mucho más de cara, el combate es satisfactorio y tiene cierto grado de complejidad, en mi opinión este juego mejora bastantes cosas que XenoVerse 1 y 2

    Muy buen desarrollo gráfico hecho especialmente para los fans de este gran anime, para una persona que no lo conoce debe ser espectacular ya que van explicando poco a poco el desarrollo de la saga z.
    Muy buena jugabilidad con un controles amigables que simplemente hacen de este juego uno de los mejores RPG de DBZ.

    While it's not the most complex RPG out there, it is a fun and involved way to relive the story.
    A must play for DBZ fans!

This is kind of like legacy of goku but on steroids. i like the challanges it presents me the combat is something straight out of the budokai series wich was also with it's up and downsides, never felt the combat was one sided tho, i just had to eat more statboost food or just train a little more, maybe there was an upgrade i didnt get yet.

    i would say this game is the best dbz game for fans. but for newcomers it can be quite jarring

    Es unos de los mejores juegos de dragón ball que hasta ahora ha esplorado la historia de manera más profunda que ninguno y con muchos momentos memorables la única pega que le pongo es al sistema de combate que se puede tornar algo repetitiva cuando llevas más de 25 horas jugando pero la verdad trae una gran calidad sobre todo con la banda sonora original de la serie

    Con detalles menores como la ropa que debería rasgarse a medida de los combates, el color del kilómetro al estar transformado en SSJ, pasadas unas horas es verdad que se te pueda hacer repetitivo. No busques un juego de peleas, porque no lo es; pero cumple si

    Alright, as a weeb I always wished that a site would release reviews for games that are specifically for fans of the IP. Like, most DBZ games can be a 6 or 7 out of 10 for most gamers but a 9 if you're a huge fan. If you've ever wanted that, here is my review of Kakarot.

    There is no DBZ game like it. The closest relative it has in any series is the Ultimate Ninja Storm games, but it is by no means a clone. There is no versus, no online, this is a straight up JRPG. The story is almost verbatim the anime, but with little extras thrown in for fans who have seen it a thousand times. And like the Storm games, it is great fun to simply watch certain classic scenes recreated with the beautiful unreal engine. When Piccolo destroys the moon, his monologue about turning Gohan into a warrior is given the backdrop of meteors from the moon explosion streaking across the night sky. I got chills.

    The combat is fun and satisfying, there is a learning curve as the controls are similar to Storm but cleverly DBZ-ified. One of my favorite details is the mechanic for menus mid-fight: Whenever you hold L1 for a radial menu of super moves, or R1 for support character actions, the fight enters slow-motion. This creates some cool moments, and is optional in the menu if you want a challenge and faster gameplay.

    The RPG elements fit right in. Flying around and exploring nets you Orbs, which are used to upgrade skills, so you're rewarded for nerding out over the map (which is loaded with content.) Low level enemies fly around and provide random encounters for exp. I got so into the side quests and exploration, I let Raditz lock Gohan in a hot space pod for probably 3 hours. I am only one saga into the game, and I really considered calling out of work today to play it until my eyes bleed. The lack of any modes besides story is the only drawback, but if you have Xenoverse 2 then stfu and play the different modes in that. This game is a straight up single player experience.

Il gameplay si sviluppa attorno alle meccaniche tipiche di un JRPG, in un contesto open world (formato da maxi aree) che risulta non completamente sfruttato e a tratti forzato. Il sistema di combattimento è estremamente semplice ma efficace: gli scontri sono divertenti sin da subito e una volta padroneggiate tecniche e combo, le sequenze di lotta assumono un'aurea spettacolare. Graficamente Kakarot ha una doppia faccia: mentre i modelli dei personaggi sono riprodotti magistralmente in cell shading, gli scenari peccano di texture basilari e piatte. Insomma, un gioco piacevole e divertente (specialmente per i fan di Goku e compagnia) che però lascia un retrogusto amaro, di potenziale incompiuto. Expand

    This is a great game and it’s apparent that the critic score is inaccurate with much more favorable user feedback. It is worth the money if you have spend a good amount of time playing any other dragon ball game.

    Okay I'm 20 hours into the game, I just defeated Frieza and I believe it's time to review the game.

    What critics are criticizing is basically the "blandness and similarity" in side quests, but what they fail to understand that most of those side quests are linked to an old character from the first Dragon Ball which puts a big wide smile on my face and brings up those nostalgia vibes.

    What critics are criticizing is basically the "blandness and similarity" in side quests, but what they fail to understand that most of those side quests are linked to an old character from the first Dragon Ball which puts a big wide smile on my face and brings up those nostalgia vibes. All of them are fetch quests? Nope, and even if they are, I'm gladly doing it, it makes me happy to fly around and live in the world of Dragon Ball.

    Battle? This game is very oriented towards PVE, and its very true to the story, it means Vegeta is difficult as hell, it means Frieza is difficult as hell, it means you obliterate Frieza when you turn into Super Saiyan. Every character that is playable with, or playable against, has a different set of moves, animations, comments, aura, and uniqueness. One single physical attack button? Hell yes and it's perfect, I'm sick of those "light attack-strong attack" or "punch-kick" fighting games. One button is enough to make a combo and that gives room for other actions. Transformation on the fly is awesome. Support characters control is awesome.

    Intermission is bland? Hell no, there's lots of activities to do and it feels like a vacation after so much battles in each arc, you relax during that time, collect orbs, fish, cook, train, increase your level, learn new moves, and talk to every single character, because they always have something new to say, go out and discover Dragon Ball memories, see how Krillin is reading adult magazines and Launch turns blond when she sneezes.

    All in all, this is the best Dragon Ball experience ever, it has everything I want and more, I couldn't ask for any change, controls are difficult? You just need time to get used to them and then you become a pro, didn't Goten had issues with flying! Ki detection is great, power levels are true to the anime.

    Don't read those stupid IGN, GameSpot and whatever reviews, they are reviewing it as a game, but this isn't any game, this is a Dragon Ball game, see what Dragon Ball fans are saying, go buy the game if you haven't yet, you won't regret it, actually you will regret it if you don't.

    Thanks Bandai Namco and Thanks to Cyberconnect 2. Great job guys.

Si bien es cierto que hay veces que que todo parece un poco lento y encajamos golpes que no deberíamos por la imposibilidad de cancelar ataques y defendernos a tiempo.
    Gráficos
    -En este apartado, su estilo gráfico de dibujo animado juega muy a su favor. Es difícil que se vean mal unos dibujos coloreados. Nada de lo que podamos quejarnos aquí.
    Música
    - Un fantástico punto sin duda, toda la música original de la serie, ataca directamente al corazón y es simplemente fantástico.
    Historia
    - Juego largo, como deben ser, con variedad de tareas que poder realizar. Nos encontramos con los personajes principales de la saga y su combate contra todos ellos. Si ya se conoce la historia, ya se sabe lo buena que es.
    Multijugador
    - El viejojuego carece de este apartado, por lo que no hay nada que decir.
    Duración
    - Muy buena. Es un juego para experimentar toda la saga pero siendo nosotros los personajes, justo lo que se podía esperar de este videojuego. Era una serie larga, es un juego largo.
    Innovacion
    - No es un juego que rompa barreras de ninguna clase. Se podría decir que es como cualquier otro juego, buscar, recolectar, matar y volver a empezar. No es algo malo, pero no hay nada destacable.

I love that pigging out on food is a way to stat build and 'get stronk' for a fight. I like the dumb fishing game and I love you can drive cars for literally no reason other than piccolo and goku did it. It's a great tribute to the DBZ series and a terrific way to re-experience the saga. Expand

    1) stupid/less combat system.
    2) easy gameplay ( even kids can complete it )
    3) irritating interference of bots/enemies while exploring the world.

    As a fanboy, who has been following Dragonball series since childhood, I will rate it as 9/10

    Otherwise, it is somewhere around 7-8/10.

    Who should get it?

    If you are new to Dragonball ball series or never ever watched Dragonball anime, then get it blindly, since story has been highlighted very well.

    Who can skip it?

    Well, fanboys like me will definitely buy it without giving a second thought. But still, if you have played all the Dragonball based games in past, and watched each and every saga of Dragonball, and want to save your money , I will suggest you to wait until price drop. :)

    Anyhow, I loved this game to core.

    The DB games franchise needed something brand new, innovative. So, that's what Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot did. It ain't the best RPG, or the best Sandbox, but the game fulfilled its objectives. I think that Budokai Tenkaichi 3 and DBZ: Kakarot are the 2 best DB games ever made.

    Played on PS4.

    My advice for those interested in DBZ: Kakarot - Wait For Sale.

    Pros:
    - A faithful adaptation of DBZ anime/manga.
    - nostalgic Easter Eggs from the DB series.
    - easy to master RPG elements.

    Cons:
    - The semi-open world map is beautiful but does not invite exploration.
    - No option to change outfits (may change with DLC and updates in the future).
    - Hit and miss quality of the side quests.
    - Loading screens take up most of the time during side quests.

    Overall, DBZ: Kakarot is a fun game. If you're feeling nostalgic, this may be the Dragon Ball game for you. I highly suggest waiting until the game is on sale or once the DLCs are all released to fully gauge the quality of the game.

    DBZ Kakarot is a worthy installment for all fans of the franchise. To me this game is a 8.5. As usual I go with my gut feeling whether to go up and down. This time I would say it is a worthy 9 for fans and a decent 8 for casual visitors to the series. I ve been playing DBZ Kakarot on my PS4 Pro with SSD and will give you some heads-up with my personal game experience.

    First of all I have to admit that the DragonBall franchise has been a large part of my childhood, still I did not play any of the predecessors because I m not that much of a button-masher-fighting-game-dude. This time I tried my luck because the emphasize seemed to be more on the world and a bit less on the combat.

    The presentation of the game is very good. The visual experience, the effects, the sound and also the voice acting is really really good. You can choose between english and japanese audio which is a worthy addition for fans and might be a let down for people not able to speak or understand english at least. The loading times from saves, starting the game or warping around the semi open world was surprisingly good. It took mere seconds before the loading was done. During my game experience I did not encounter larger frame drops although there seemed to be very minor texture popups during cut-scenes, which is a bit surprising considering I used a pretty decent SSD. I still want to add that this happened scarcely and did not interfere largely with the game experience. The only bug I encountered was that sometimes I was not able to talk to people if fights happened next to them. So I had to save and reload in place to fix it. Nothing too bad overall.

    Gameplay toggles between traversing the semi open world, doing story tasks and sidequests, grabbing orbs to level up or gather new skills during training ground missions. The game loop feels a little bit dull and misses a great opportunity to give this game a real open world touch although it is not a complete let down. For me being not a fighting expert the mechanics are okay. You control your character with a handful of skill buttons and can toggle to party members skills with shoulder buttons. Mix up skills are also available making the fighting experience interesting. You dont have to mash combos as you would in full blown fighting games. More or less you mash between dashes, strikes and punches, build up your ki and fire designated skills at the enemy. Whether that is enough for you might be very subjective. It feels mashing heavy at times but for me still sufficiently complex. Some boss fights might be a little bit too hard for casual players. To me it felt largely okay.

    Fights go in different alterations such as 1v1, 1v2, 1vX or XvY, so there is also some variety here and in free roam mode you can also customize your party you want to go out with. The game feels a little drawn out at times quite as you would expect it knowing the old series. Still I have to say it was a worthy experience because you can enjoy the stages of DBZ in a more direct and somewhat condensed feeling without loosing too much of its original depth. Everything you loved (and probably hated) is in here for you to re-discover.

    One of the biggest let downs for me (as it was back then) is that the game is pretty cut in terms of gore and violence. They tried to manage it well with setting decent scene cuts but for hardcore fans this might be a re-ocurring nightmare of old times where you had to go with imported versions to see the actual movie experience. I wished they had an option for this or an uncut version to buy because it made me really sad to live through the disappointment again. Decide for yourself whether this is a no-go or not but it is to me also a deciding factor to why I choose the 8 on my side.

    I would recommend this game for franchise fans and people who enjoy semi casual fighting combined with semi open world story elements. Maybe grab it at some discount but I feel that it is a game that has a decent production value. It would ve been kinda cool if they took an even more RPG-ish approach to leveling or evolving your character because it feels overly simplistic at times. Knowing the franchise the next appearance might be already in the works and who knows what will come next.

    I was hating all these Dragon Ball games we've been feeding all these years and FINALLY a Dragon Ball RPG game with quests, allot of exploration stuff to do, several character to lvl up, some mini games and much more. A Dragon Ball game where you FINALLY could train that strong that you could one shot most enemy who are much weaker than you just like in the Anime itself so the point of training makes finally a sense.

    A Tip for beginner. When you are 5 lvl above the enemy on the map, you can finish the fight without even starting it by Super Speed flying into them. This method saves you allllllllot of time lvling up your character from the beginning of the game. If you love Dragon Ball then this is in fact a MUST HAVE.

    My main complaint with this game is that it feels a little bit unpolished on certain aspect. I mean, we have to be realistic and look at the fact that the Japanese cast isn’t getting any younger and that it would be very unlikely to have a Dragon Ball game of this type again. I would have wait another year or two without complaining for this game to be the definitive fully polished and detailed Dragon Ball experience.

    The game is ostensibly expansive, giving one both a sense of scale and claustrophobia.

The world is divided into sections that are open to exploration but the fact that one has to open the world map option to move between sections gets annoying quite fast. Secondly, the side quests are limited with regards to their availability. Each open at a particular “episode” in the story and closes by the ending of either that or a few subsequent ones (usually within 1-3 eps). This makes it nigh impossible to return to and obtain the the rewards therein (some of them truly help in powering up and exploration too!). However, this adds to the replay value of the story and each side quest time window is accessible through the story menu. The side quests are also quite repetitive and usually involve a Kamehameha to the face but are nevertheless a treat for fans of the series. The fighting mechanic is also limited in the number and types of combos allowed yet explosive enough to include various types of attacks (KI, vanishing, physical, homing, etc). The story is definitely one to cherish and relive with multiple playable characters, part formations and exploration that gives a taste of being a Z warrior. Here’s to hoping that cyber connect improves some features with an update and releases an improved sequel/DLC involving the “super” saga. Expand

    Un juego totalmente hecho, para FANS.

    Soy totalmente consciente de que si alguien ajeno a esta franquicia juega a este juego, no le va a gustar nada. Tampoco es necesario tomar de ejemplo a alguien completamente ajeno, con tan solo que esa persona sepa toda la etapa de "Dragon Ball Z" pero no sabe nada de "Dragon Ball" , pues... disfrutará muy poco muchas de las misiones secundarias, donde lo primordial no son las peleas, sino su complemento en el global del universo Dragon Ball.

    Solo quería aclarar ese punto, Ahora vamos a mi Análisis totalmente personal como fan de las aventuras del Sayajin criado en la tierra, Son Goku.

    *Diseño de personajes: Es de lo primero que se ve en el juego, y a decir verdad, me encantaron. Se nota mucho que se basan en los diseños del manga original de Dragon Ball (por ejemplo, uno de los mejores detalles es el de que una ceja esté más levantada que la otra, típico de los dibujos de Akira Toriyama) y no de los diseños de alguna etapa del anime. Lo negativo en este punto es el sombreado en estos, no sé por qué optaron a una más "realista", si fuesen más planas creo que hubiera sido mejor.

    *Jugabilidad: Me parece muy buena, es muy intuitiva, adictiva y las peleas espectaculares. A pesar de no ser un juego orientado exclusivamente a las luchas (como FighterZ), si me parece mejor que los Xenoverse, ya que, en estos últimos, los movimientos para esquivar o de defensa eran casi nulos y las asistencias estaban de adorno. Lo negativo en este punto son las peleas contra los enemigos del mundo libre, ya que no suponen ningún reto y es contra esos enemigos en donde se vuelve repetitivo.

    *Banda Sonora: Obviamente excelente, pero, lamentablemente, en algunas cinemáticas no las supieron aprovechar y no pega con el acontecimiento que está ocurriendo (los que más me molestaron son cuando Goku usa el kaioken x20 contra Freezer y cuando este mismo es pisoteado por Raditz.

    *Mundo: Me fascinó que este sea el mismo que fue publicado en la guía daizenshuu de Toriyama y cada región con todos sus nombres. Es un mundo totalmente vivo, pero sin contenido a la larga, ya que comienzas a darte cuenta que los orbes salen mucho más rentables obtenerlos al derrotar enemigos, las esferas del dragón, luego de un máximo de 10 usos, ya no valen la pena recogerlas y los materiales también pierden sentido luego de terminar de mejorar la sala de entrenamiento (también aclarar que ninguna misión secundaria te otorga Zenis para lograr este último cometido mencionado). Los villanos son los que salvan a este juego para que no me aburra, ya que se pueden hacer muchos retos interesantes con ellos.

    *Historia: El punto fuerte, se nota que también está basado completamente del manga y no del anime. Pero debo admitir que hay escenas importantes e impactantes que se saltan y no entiendo el por qué (aunque sean muy pocas) como por ejemplo, el Final Flash de Vegeta, la defensa con el dedo índice de goku ante los ataques de espada de Trunks y, la que más me hubiese gustado ver y que estuve esperando, la pelea de Goku Vs Majin Vegeta, aunque fuese unos segundos, me hubiese gustado ver un gran intercambio de golpes.

    *Factor RPG: En un principio te da una falsa sensación de libertad y progreso en los personajes y pensé que sería así todo el juego, pero desde el comienzo de la saga de cell, a pesar de que sigue un poco por ese camino, si que se nota que el factor RPG desde ese punto ya importa mucho más.

    *Censura: A pesar de que está muy censurado, se nota que está menos censurado que muchos otro juegos de Dragon Ball (por no decir todos). Espero que suponga un avance para las siguientes entregas

    *Global y Conclusión final: A pesar de no tener destrucción de ropa y no tener las mejores secundarias en cuanto a actividad se refiere, este juego está hecho para complementar el universo de Dragon Ball de una manera genial, puramente para fans. Si bien, no puedes jugar activamente con todos los personajes, si puedes llevarlos en tu grupo. Tiene una estética muy bonita y una jugabilidad en el que tú decides si quieres que sea un machaca botones o no (esto me hizo acordar a los Budokai Tenkaichi/Sparking, Neo, Meteor).

    Ese es todo mi Análisis, espero que les haya sido de utilidad. Saludos!!

    A very few games can compare to Kakarot in terms of sheer love towards the original series and storytelling qualities. Not without its set of flaws that leave only regret not being even greater, Kakarot still manages to be a great game for fans. No, scratch that. It manages to be an amazing game! May they not stop here, and deliver more and more of love-letters like this. If it goes in the right direction, the next one could definitely be legendary.
