They begin to get monotonous quicker than I’d have liked, and the Experience Point payoff for completing them rarely felt worth it. Unfortunately, the majority of these side-quests aren’t all that exciting. There are random enemies roaming around you can run into (sometimes saving NPCs from attacks), items you can collect for other mini-games (cooking is important), and plenty of side-quests to do.
Kakarot lets you feel like you’re actually in the DBZ universe. Where Xenoverse gave you some limited freedom, the confines were obvious. On the open-world/RPG side of things, it’s nice to actually be able to explore the world of Dragon Ball Z a bit more. Between keeping track of your Ki and Tension gauges, countering your opponents attacks, and even changing up your own strategy in the middle of the combo, there’s enough depth to make each encounter feel fresh and fun. It’s certainly not as deep a combat system as Dragon Ball FighterZ, but there are a number of things to keep it interesting. It’s super accessible for those who aren’t exactly well-versed in fighting games, allowing you to pick up the action and feel like a badass relatively quickly. There are a number of combos to unleash against your foes, along with awesome energy power-ups (that you can swap around/customize) pulled from the show to hammer in the damage. The combat-though one step above button mashing-is a surprising amount of fun. Both aspects of the game have their charms. The title plays out as an action RPG, that will see you bounce between “open world” exploration and singular combat in line with what players experienced in the Xenoverse games.
Combining the series’ signature action flair, with extra story/character beats and plenty of RPG elements, Kakarot is a fun way to relive the show’s best moments and storylines. Sure, it’s a story many of us already know and love, but that doesn’t make these outings any less thrilling. Though it released on other consoles earlier last year, Nintendo Switch owners are now getting the chance to relive the iconic Dragon Ball Z story. This week brings Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot to the Nintendo Switch, allowing fans to play through the anime RPG on the go, but is the port worth your time?ĭragon Ball Z: Kakarot + A New Power Awakens Setĭeveloped By: Bandai Namco, CyberConnect2
