Just lay on the melee button, make a few other inputs as needed to restore Ki or put distance between you and opponents, and mix in a few Super Attacks and you'll be well on your way to becoming a defender of Earth. But like any fighting game, there's a certain level of button-mashing you'll have to deal with. If you can stay aggressive and deplete an enemy's Stun Meter, you'll be treated to unique cinematics for each of the Super Attacks.
You can pull off some truly flashy combos in Kakarot – using a melee Super Attack with multiple follow-ups to smash someone into the ground and then finish that with a point-blank Kamehameha seems exactly like something a Dragon Ball Z character would do and helps fulfill the fantasy of the game. It sucks the fun right out of what's supposed to be one of the most powerful moments in Dragon Ball Z and instead turns it into an exercise of patience.Ĭombat succeeds where RPG mechanics can't, though that's still only true to an extent. Considering how tedious a process collecting the Dragon Balls becomes, imagine how disappointing it is to realize you can only fight these revived bosses using certain characters. You can use those Dragon Balls to wish for more Zeni or Z Orbs, but since you rarely run low on those resources (assuming you're not just flying through the story), you'll want to wish for old enemies to be brought back to life so that you can acquire their Soul Emblems for some more stat boosts. You'll probably end up spending more time in loading screens between zones than you do finding the Dragon Balls. You'd expect enemies to be guarding it or something like that, but they're always just laying on the ground, on a cliff, or underwater. Just fast-travel to a zone that has a Dragon Ball, mark it on your map, and speed towards the destination to retrieve it. The seven Dragon Balls are scattered around the map with indicators showing which zones they're in, and even though finding them should be an exhilarating and difficult feat, it's been turned into a chore.
You collect these wish-granting relics during "Intermissions" where players can roam about, train, and take on different activities between key story moments. Perhaps the most disappointing implementation of a Dragon Ball Z mechanic in Kakarot is the process of collecting the iconic Dragon Balls.
