Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot

About the Game

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is the 2020 action-RPG developed by CyberConnect2 representing the most comprehensive narrative retelling of the Dragon Ball Z saga ever committed to a game. Rather than a fighting game abstraction, Kakarot functions as a full RPG that allows players to inhabit Goku's life across all five major sagas: Saiyan, Frieza, Cell, Majin Buu, and post-series sequel content. Players explore open-world regions corresponding to Dragon Ball Z's various locations — East Ravine Area, Satan City, Goku's house at Mount Paozu — gathering food, fishing, training, and interacting with NPCs in a living world that brings the Z universe to tactile life. Combat is action-oriented, allowing players to execute iconic techniques including Kamehameha, Destructo Disc, and Final Flash using intuitive controls while battles unfold with the same kinetic energy as the anime. The game is notable for its respectful, detailed treatment of the entire Z timeline, including quieter moments between battles that the anime often glossed over — family dinners, training montages, and character conversations that add texture to relationships. Cooking and eating mechanics boost stats while reinforcing the series' emphasis on food as community and connection. DLC expansions have added additional story content including the Bardock arc and the Trunks future timeline. Kakarot succeeds as both a love letter to Dragon Ball Z fans and as the most immersive way to experience the complete story for viewers who have seen the anime but want to participate in it directly.
