As much as we try, the incoming blows come too quickly and do a ton of damage, putting Goku on the ropes. This leaves Goku in a one vs one fight with Raditz, and things get tough. Having removed one of Raditz's many health bars, a cutscene plays where Piccolo decides that to claim victory, he must execute a special attack. As the developers promise, the battle moves all around a huge part of the open world, with no invisible walls to interrupt the action. The first section of the battle goes easy enough – Goku lands plenty of hits, and either dodges or blocks most of incoming blows.

Raditz has Gohan trapped in a crater, so of course we must free him and defeat our nemesis. We fly over to his location and begin the encounter. With the side quest complete, Goku levels up and feels ready to take on the demo's boss, Raditz. Before engaging, players can use Ki Sense to scope out the enemies and check their power levels, as to avoid nasty surprises. To avoid incoming damage, you can guard or dodge.

Basic ranged/melee strikes are joined by Super attacks, like Kamehameha, Body Blow, and Meteor Smash. Clearly, like last year's FighterZ, DBZ Kakarot is going for the same high level of visual authenticity.ĭefeating the robot group is fairly easy, and we try out the various moves available to Goku. If you land a combo, the enemies get knocked back, and slam into the ground if it's nearby, producing the same splash effects as you'd see on TV.


Whaling on enemies certainly looks cinematic and weighty, just like you'd expect to see in the show. When going for melee, Goku automatically closes the distance as best he can. Fighting while mid-air is surprisingly straightforward – Goku's ranged attacks all hit the locked-on foe, as long as they don’t move/dodge. There, the robots lie in wait, so we get into a tussle. Goku agrees, and we fly over to the marked spot. The dialog for side quests does not appear to be voiced, but main story interactions are. He tells us of some robots that have been harassing the locals, and asks us to take care of them, for a reward that consisted of XP and some materials. We decided to investigate a nearby side quest, given by Eighter. While deciding on a course of action, Bulma would chime in over the radio and advise us if a cave worth exploring was nearby. Dragon Balls hung in the air, giving you a reason to take to the skies – besides the obvious faster traversal across the vast terrain. Flying controls were easy and straightforward, and Goku could land with the push of a button. Taking a moment to look at the map, we could see the typical RPG markers – main story, side quests, fishing spots, resource locations, and so on. Taking control of Goku, we were able to freely fly around a section of the open world called East Ravine. The premise of the demo saw Goku team up with Piccolo, chasing Raditz who had recently defeated them and made his escape with Goku's son Gohan. At E3 2019, we had a chance to explore a section of this new game. This means that, as in the manga, Goku will often be overpowered by his opponents, and those moments will be re-created as you face off initially powerful and high-level foes with bigger movesets. The goal is to let players relive some of the most memorable moments in the franchise's story, from the big fights to the smaller character interactions that the hardcore fans will appreciate. In this title, you'll be controlling Son Goku, born with the name Kakarot, hence the title of the game. The new title, developed by CyberConnect2, wants to bring the Dragon Ball Z story to the masses.
