How it plays
How does Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku play?
The game uses an overhead view. Goku travels through connected areas, speaks with characters, collects items, and completes objectives based on the anime storyline.
Combat is real-time. Goku attacks nearby enemies, avoids incoming damage, and later uses stronger techniques as the adventure progresses. Experience and level increases improve his effectiveness, while story events unlock new locations and encounters.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku?
Explore each area thoroughly before advancing the story. Side objectives and item pickups provide useful experience and resources.
Avoid fighting large groups in confined spaces. Attack, step away from danger, and use healing items when necessary rather than relying only on level increases.
Save progress regularly, especially before major battles and after completing long quest sequences.
