Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot PS4

Product Information

In essence, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is an okay role-playing game with a fantastically fun combat system attached. It's in the battles that it shines brightest, with projectiles flying all over the place and fighters yelling while they charge up for their next special move. At first it seems quite simplistic, with dedicated melee and ranged buttons begging to be mashed vigorously. When combined with a selection of super moves specific to each character and defensive options like a burst that repels enemies, the encounters never become too stale or repetitive. While Kakarot works great as an arena fighter, largely by keeping the action pretty similar to previous games, its RPG side weighs it down. Sidequests are almost always painfully plain, relying far too much on banal tasks like finding ingredients for a chef to make you a dish, getting mechanical parts for Bulma to repair a machine, or defending a helpless NPC by fighting the same three generic Red Ribbon Army robots that you’ll blow up a million times over the course of the campaign. Worse still, the EXP offered for completing most of them simply pales in comparison to the amount you get for beating main quests, making them feel incredibly unrewarding as well.

There are a scant few sidequests I experienced that broke the mold, like a standout one involving “the ghost of Yamcha,” which has you following around an imposter Yamcha as he goes on various dates after the events of the Saiyan saga. I won’t spoil the big reveal of the quest, but it ended up being very sweet and was a great example of how sidequests could have been used to tell interesting substories about established characters. If more sidequests were like this, instead of a bunch of different variations of fetch, collect, and protect quests, Kakarot would’ve been a much stronger game as a whole.

This intense adoration for the subject matter reaches its pinnacle during big fights at the end of each story arc, where the game goes from looking pretty good to downright dazzling. Every "iconic" scene you could think of, from Yamcha lying dead in a crater to Buu killing everyone on earth, is recreated brilliantly. When even Yamcha (albeit in his most popular and meme'd moment) gets the big money cinematic makeover, you know the folk at Bandai Namco are seriously invested in the series.
