DS User Reviews

This game is absolutely beautiful, the sountrack is sooo good. Proof that Dragon Ball can fit RPG formula so well. It's a mix between DBZ and the best elements of Final Fantasy, a must play for everyone, not only dragon ball fans.

An underrated RPG. If you're a DBZ fan and still use a DS, then even in 2024 it's worth your time to play this. It's very faithful to the series and has great tactical gameplay.

An attempt to ape the early Final Fantasy games incorporating the characters from Dragon Ball Z. Obviously not very original but it has some charm and is one of the better entry level RPGs aimed at kids.

An amazing game that follows the dragon ball storyline with great gameplay, and a bunch of good content, the only issue that I have with the game is that it is relentlessly difficult, but if you’re a hard-core RPG fan You’ll definitely love this game. Pros. -Great gameplay. -Great story. -Easy to pick up and play. -Special ending after we beat the game Cons. -Relentlessly difficult. -Exp grind fest. -Doesn’t continue to the freezea Saga. 9.2/10.

Brilliant RPG, the best Dragon Ball Z RPG I can think of. Nice graphics for a DS game too.

La sorpresa que me llevé al recibir un JRPG de Dragon Ball Z que repasaba la saga de los saiyans y ofrecía una gran cantidad de horas. Una de las joyas de la consola y, por lo que veo, masacrado en prensa. Ver para creer. Lo que pagaría por recibir por recibir otro juego del género de la franquicia hoy en día.

47/100 Dragon Ball Z Attack of the Saiyans is, like most turn-based RPGs, plagued by an extremely repetitive, slow-paced gameplay with an excessive random enemy encounter rate, but manages to make it significantly more bearable thanks to the active guard feature, which rewards a precisely-timed input when attacked to halve the damage taken. This adds a really exciting, pleasantly challenging action twist to gameplay, with particularly small reaction times. On the other hand, as a turn-based game Attack of the Saiyans gives the player a lot of freedom with the building of characters, allowing for custom stat distribution upon level up and unlocking/upgrading of different abilities. Sadly, abilities are severely lacklustre, mostly differentiated by their damage outputs, since there is a remarkable shortage of stat buff and debuffs abilities. This leads to an extremely linear and pretty dull progression system that most of the time boils down to the usage of the latest, most powerful ability and not much else. Esthetically, level design is delightful, with detailed and lively environments that perfectly capture the tone and atmosphere of the source material. Structurally it's just decent, perfectly functional with a couple of hidden secrets and small branching paths, nothing impressive. With its narrative, the game adapts the Saiyan Arc of the original story, and does so with great care for its characters and its world. However, approximately halfway through the game, the developers made a bold change to the original plot to accomodate the gameplay, but it's an extremely awkward alteration that severely spoils the dramatic tension and emotional impact of the entire third act of the story.

A surprisingly solid dbz rpg that will never get a sequel. Gives neglected characters more story to work with and doesnt do much wrong, and amazing compared to most dbz games altogether.

A Dragon Ball RPG made by Monolith Soft, is there anything else to say? I don't think so.

In my opinion, it's one of the most underrated DS games ever. For once a Dragon Ball games that is an RPG, and it works perfectly. The gameplay is really fun and the difficulty is really well balanced. One of the best RPG and the best Dragon Ball game I've ever played

Oh my God this game is amazing!!!! This is one of the best DBZ games that I've ever played and the fact that it's an RPG and still a great game shows how great it is. The fighting animations are great as well as all the team combo's that you can create with all the characters. One negative part of the game is that it only takes place to the fight with Vegeta, but there are many side missions to keep you busy. Especially the fight against Broly who is cheap as hell!!! If you want a great game for only $25 bucks or just borrow it from a friend because this is a game that any DBZ fan has to play.

A very impressive, addicting, and fun Rpg, set in the saiyan saga of Dragon Ball Z. This game was done very well, and is reminiscent of the Dragon Ball Z rpgs on the super nintendo. The battle system, and leveling up, as well as the story progressions, and giving characters like tien and yamcha more backstory within the story, and just the overall execution was done really well. awesome music and great graphics, as well ofcourse amazing gameplay, this is an awesome rpg that i definitely recomend

A brilliant game- following the basics of RPG's faithfully following the series main story. While it doesn't add anything to the established series nor is innovative in game play mechanics- it is a game made specifically for fans of the series. So don't go expecting one of the greatest games ever made.

I liked this game because Dragon Ball Z is new in this style of game and the result was good. The characters are very interesting: Goku, Yamcha, Krilin!!! also Ten, Piccolo and Gohan

This is how I always imagined a Dragon Ball Z RPG. Good visuals, good gameplay, good sound and music. Wonder why they took so long to release a game like **** why they keep releasing fighting games for consoles instead **** RPG. I hope there will be a sequel.

In a word, Awesome. This is the second best Dragon Ball game I have ever played, the combat works perfectly, never really getting old. With the powers, combined powers and timing working really well. It lasts around 15 to 20 hours, meaning it's a tad short, but if it was any longer, it could get a little boring. It is one of the best RPGs I have played and well worth a look if you're a fan of the series, or a fan or JRPGs.
