Dragon Ball games are not only fighting games.
The early Dragon Ball games had a miscellaneous culture: there were RPGs and there were card games.
And those games weren't bad either. There are few original games produced by Bandai, and only character games are mass-produced, and Dragon Ball is probably the first of these. Is it inevitable or ironic that the Tales series became even more of a character game after Namco was merged into Bandai. If you look at it from a bird's eye view, the Tales series also feels like an extension of Shonen Jump culture.
Well, this RPG series was a modest but quite interesting series. As far as I know, there have been five of them. The music of "3" was especially good. The general design of the game is that you choose randomly generated cards and move around the world map, and the battles also vary in total damage depending on the number of stars on the cards. And I had the impression that the anime-like movements and cut-ins were very elaborate and very cool. Some features are unique to RPGs. What impressed me the most was the strength of Chiaotzu. He can use his super powers to make Nappa unable to move every turn. lol
It's a shame that Bandai has sealed off this RPG series and is focusing on more profitable action and fighting games.
Well, all companies are similar. KOEI didn't put much effort into SLGs, which are a pain to make, and only made simple and profitable grass-cutting games.
So this RPG series ended up unfinished and I, as a fan, forgot about it for a long time.
However! When I discovered this game by chance, I was surprised.
