I don’t know why, I’m not even a big fan of the anime, but I kind of want to pick up a Dragon Ball game for PC while a bunch of them are on sale. Maybe it’s just because I like Toriyama’s style in cel-shaded 3D but am recently Dragon Quest-ed out.

Now I know that naturally, many of them are going to be straight, fairly traditional fighting games. But it looks like some of them might be closer to action RPGs, and the line is a little blurry trying to look them up.

So, can anyone recommend Dragon Ball games on PC that are closer to the ARPG side of the scale and good for single player?

I was looking at Kakarot, which definitely seems to fit, and seems to be kind o a TL;DR of the Goku story, from what I can tell?

Xenoverse looks really nice, and custom character is always great, but I can’t tell how much of a pure fighter this series is?

    @Apeman42 the legacy of goku gba games are fun…

    and maybe hot take… i love dragonball the legend (kinda prefer psx for gameplay speed but dreamcast looks way better )

      I second the Legacy of Goku games, but with the caveat that you may want to skip the first one. It’s rough. The amount of improvement from 1 to 2 is mind-boggling.

        Actually good advice for me, who mostly dabbles in playing old GBA games and have had this recommended to me. Haven’t had much time recently to play but if I have the time I’ll check out number 2 (assuming I don’t just pick up another Pokémon ROM hack :p)

      I still find myself wanting something cel-shaded, but I can check these out too, been fluffing out my emulator collection recently anyway.
