amazon Dragon Ball Z Kakarot reviews
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot – Dragon Ball, more dearly known as the name Dragon Ball Z, is the childhood of many comic readers around the world.
Born in the ’80s, this can be considered as one of the pioneering manga series, helping Japanese manga culture reach out to the world and become popular as it is today.
With its strong coverage, of course, Dragon Ball has a lot of follow-up products, including video games.
And Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is also one of them.
Introduced as an action role-playing game with a large semi-open world for players to enjoy, the game quickly received the attention of fans and comic / cartoon Japan lovers.
Is Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot worthy of everyone’s expectations?
When Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot was announced, the introduction of the game by Bandai Namco will “revive” Dragon Ball Z perhaps making the fans … bored.
Because, this is their childhood, every detail, every battle has been memorized by them.
Previously, countless games told this content in many different directions such as Dragon Ball Z: Budokai, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi, Dragon Ball: Raging Blast, Dragon Ball Z: Full Burst …
So with an already classic storyline and nothing new, what for players to experience?
The answer lies in the detail and effort that CyberConnect2 has invested in building cutscenes and dialogues.
It must be said, this is the first game that perfectly recreates the Dragon Ball Z storyline, recounts the details of the content, and builds the entire character’s character in the sequence of all four episodes: Saiyan, Frieza, Androids and Buu.
You will be playing the role of Goku and friends to re-experience the content.
During this process, the characters are clearly shown internal, important dialogues are brought from comic/cartoon to the game screen.
The cutscenes also reproduce quite a lot of epic scenes of the game, like the way CyberConnect2 used to make the Naruto: Ultimate Ninja series.
Thanks to all of the above efforts, fans will feel extremely familiar, while those who experience Dragon Ball Z for the first time can completely grasp the plot and “feel” the character without having to read more stories.
Not only that, during the gameplay, you can also earn a lot of additional information about the entire character and world, as well as some flashbacks about the first Dragon Ball (when Little Goku) to show the player more of the connections between the characters.
After finding this information, everything will be wrapped up in the encyclopedia of the game for players to look up!
Thus, the chronicle of the legendary super Saiyan Kakarot will continue to be passed down through generations of readers.
One of the things that people often talk about when talking about Dragon Ball Z games is the combat system.
Of course, under the “magical” hand of CyberConnect2, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot quickly brings a very exciting fighting experience.
Similar to other “brothers”, the game uses a free 3D combat fighting system, allowing you to fly and fight as you like in a relatively large arena with a destructive environment.
The fighting mechanism, similar to other anime action games, is somewhat simple: you will just attack around a few basic hitting buttons, use L1 to select and activate the skill, L2 to fend off …
However, although somewhat simple, the challenge of the game lies in adjusting the time appropriately to launch the correct moves.
The game’s defense mechanism allows the character to fend off at any time until the defense is broken, so you will often see the enemy in a passive position and always be on your guard, either blocking or creating distance and using ranged attacks, making it relatively difficult to do the perfect burst of damage to finish them off.
The same thing will happen to you because if you are too eager to attack, just a small gap is enough for them to recognize and immediately “crush” you!
Although possessing a fighting style that is similar to fighting games, the game reveals its weaknesses when sending players into the battle … “one versus one hundred”!
In the game of double handicap, or worse, the three handicap, you will quickly notice the weakness of the game.
Using the target selection system to lock the angle of rotation, you will only be able to see a certain enemy.
The game will only show arrows indicating their position, and whatever they are doing, you have to give up!
When you are confronted with a certain person, the rest of them quickly … use a long-range attack on you, causing your combo to slow down.
Not only that, all enemies will only target you, completely ignoring your teammates.
This makes the game quickly become aboard, where the real part is always on your side.
Because of this difference, players will feel many difficulty stages go up and down absurdly: the fight with Frieza suddenly becomes much easier when fighting Burter and Jeice from team Ginyu, or several random battles with a bunch of Saibaman can easily get you hardship …
Although the gameplay is not really perfect and still gritty, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot still has its charm, bringing a sense of satisfaction in each battle with countless beautiful moves.
Perhaps, the most sketchy system in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is what Bandai Namco “boasted of” the most to the fan: character development role-playing system.
Theoretically, it’s not wrong, because the characters all have levels, experience, stats, and skill trees that players level up and customize throughout the game.
However, they have no practical value and greatly affect the player.
All the character stats and skill trees are limited by the level, but you can completely experience the storyline without having to train at all because the game always guarantees you one. The huge amount of experience through each battle.
Besides, collecting a Soul Emblem to upgrade your skills is also a feature… it’s fine, not having it!
Almost all of your damage is “weighed and counted” by your character’s level, so upgrading skills will only change effects and attacks beautifully, without too much practical value help you “overturn” the match.
Don’t mention the cooking system and the means of transportation, because they’re even worse, unless the “hunting” accomplishment, you won’t feel the real benefit of them.
What is a vehicle for when a character’s flight speed is a hundred times faster?
Cooking also only slightly increases stats for a short time, such as a 3% increase in damage (while Kaioken’s transformation has increased at least 20%), increased experience 10% …
All of it is not worth the effort you go to find ingredients on the map!
