Dragon Ball Z Kakarot takes us on a journey to the world known from the series. The main character of this production is the eponymous Kakarot, better known as Goku - a Saiyan, a race of warriors, who, along with other fearless heroes, protects the Earth from villains. Fans have the opportunity not only to follow his fate by guiding him through the most important events known from the TV series but also to learn unknown parts of his life and get answers to various questions.

The action in Dragon Ball Z Kakarot is shown from a third-person perspective (TPP). The game has been divided into stages, and each of them offers vast areas that can be explored on foot or by flying. Each of them is a different location known from the series - you gain access to them by making progress in the story. As befits a game based on the Dragon Ball Z series, fights with opponents play an important role. The most crucial ones are the boss fights. The battle system is similar to the classic fighting games. Goku and his opponents fight in close combat or at a distance (by performing energy attacks), on the ground and in the air, causing immense chaos around.

What does Kakarot mean?

Kakarot is the original name of Son Goku, which was given to him on his home planet. Goku is a Saiyan so Raditz and Vegeta use his real name when talking to him. Thus, the name of the game is a tribute to the character known to many anime fans.

Is Dragon Ball Z Kakarot a difficult game?

DBZ Kakarot is an action RPG in which the dominant role is played by fights against various enemies. As in similar titles of this kind, a great role is played by grinding and developing skills of our team. Therefore, the difficulty level can often be adjusted to our preferences - if some fights are too difficult, we can take a break from the main plot and do side missions, or grind weaker enemies. Thanks to this, we can quickly strengthen our character and make the fights easier.

What is the plot of DBZ Kakarot?

You will experience the entire story known from the Dragon Ball Z anime. You will encounter Vegeta and Nappa, fly to Namek and face the Ginyu Force as well as Frieza, fight the Androids and Cell and ultimately face the sorcerer Babidi, Dabura and Majin Buu. Interestingly, the game will offer additional plot lines that will add to the story know from the anime.

Who are the available characters in Dragon Ball Z Kakarot?

Although Son Goku's real name is in the title, he isn't the only playable character. Depending on the plot, we will play as different characters. We will fight as Vegeta, Trunks, Gohan, Piccolo, Gotenks, Vegetto, etc. In addition, many side characters will help us in battle. While exploring the world, we will meet all the iconic characters, such as Bulma, Chi-Chi, Mr. Satan, Videl and many others.

Starting tips

1. Take care of your health - Use healing items!
2. Complete side missions - They give you additional experience; also, some of them can't be done later! (this should change in future DLCs).
3. Earn gold - Spend your free time on hunting and fishing!
4. Collect Dragon Balls - The dragon can fulfill your wishes. Dragon Balls can give you, e.g. a significant amount of Zeni (you get 30,000 after saying your wish), or they can resurrect fallen enemies.
5. Invest in healing items - Remember, for example, about Senzu Beans
6. Pay attention to your enemies' actions - Opponents often make various attacks, poses, or say specific lines before using special attacks. Keep this in mind and counter their attacks.
7. Develop your super attacks - Many attacks are unlocked as you progress through the story. Don't forget to train and buy upgrades.
8. Sell unnecessary items - You will find a lot of items. Many of them are useless - sell them!
9. Rest at campfires - You have little health, you are about to have a difficult fight, or you want to eat delicious food? Use campfires!
10. Train your character - Improve your special attacks to make the fights easier.
11. Pay attention to the Ki bar - Charge it to, e.g. keep the transformation and have enough Ki for special attacks.
