Poor RPG mechanics aside, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is a great way to relive the DBZ's story, flaws and all.

While its fighting is fun, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot doesn't do enough to carry the subpar side content.

A light and fun RPG that sometimes gets bogged down by its interweaving progression systems.

A competent adaptation of the original anime but there's a serious danger of déjà vu even for series fans, and the solid but unremarkable action is unable to overcome it.

Some of the content is hit or miss, but the story is told nicely throughout and ends up being an enjoyable way to relive this saga

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot's emphasis on making the world and character interactions of Dragon Ball as important as the fights makes for a solid action-RPG experience.

Read full review

Dragon Ball Z: Karakot distills 291 episodes of Dragon Ball Z down into a 40-hour action-RPG experience. While the pacing is a bit off, seeing the story of Goku and friends told in wide swaths mostly works. The combat also manages to capture the feel of the series in certain boss fights. Unfortunately, the RPG side of things is lacking, with muddy progression, systems that feel useless, and random enemy encounters that can grow tedious. It's a good start, but more training is needed to reach its final form.
