Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku

About

Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku is a turn-based RPG where you play through a story involving Goku’s son being taken hostage. You navigate a scripted adventure with pre-set battles against enemies from the series, using attacks like energy blasts and melee strikes. The game splits time between Earth and space-based locations, with each fight following a grid-based system that emphasizes timing and special moves. A second player can join for some battles, adding brief co-op moments to the mostly solo campaign. The game’s biggest hook is its direct tie to the Dragon Ball Z anime, featuring recognizable foes and scenarios. Its 10-hour runtime was typical for early 2000s handheld RPGs, though the rigid story path and lack of open-world freedom may feel dated. The time-tracking mechanic adds urgency but doesn’t always align with gameplay pacing. Still, it remains a solid entry for fans who want a portable dose of the franchise’s core conflict.
