The First Great Enemy

The battle with Raditz is a plot point in the beginning of DRAGON BALL Z which eventually became an iconic moment for fans. How can you forget Yamcha being defeated by the Saibamen and creating one of the most unforgettable memes that the series has ever created? These moments, coupled with all the tension revolving around the battle against Goku’s lost brother, are replicated here!

All the Greatest Battles

Besides Raditz, there is also Frieza, Cell, and Majin Buu. Each fan has his or her own favorite villain and battle in the series. So how about packing all of them in the same game? DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT completes this with a fidelity to the original work that has never been seen before. If you remember well, Goku wasn’t the only one to have participated in these battles! Prepare to play as different characters: such as Gohan during the epic showdown against Cell, when he received a little help from his fallen father.

Gohan Goes to High School

Exactly seven years after the Cell battle, the series shows Gohan as a high schooler that has difficulties adjusting to Earth’s school system. Let’s just say his Saiyan roots gives him some abnormal strength that doesn’t go unnoticed by his colleagues. This classic DRAGON BALL Z moment features a baseball segment that is replicated here in the form of a fun minigame. Can you hit the ball with the precise timing and strength to achieve a home run?

Fishing with Goku and Other Minigames

DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT is full of mini-games that are reminiscent of the various comic relief moments of the series. While some, like playing baseball, are based directly on the Z saga plot, other mini-games pay homage to classic moments: like Goku fishing with his tail in the original DRAGON BALL. This time around, Goku is an adult and has lost his tail. Can you find it and catch some big fish with it?

DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT will release on January 17th, 2020 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC (via STEAM).
