Item Description

Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans is one of the most fondly remembered RPGs to carry the Dragon Ball Z name, which says something for a franchise that has spanned decades of games on nearly every platform. Developed by Monolith Soft and published by Namco Bandai for the Nintendo DS in 2009, it steps away from the fighting games most DBZ titles are and delivers a turn-based RPG that takes the story back to its roots. It covers the run from the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament through the Saiyan saga with a care and faithfulness longtime fans appreciate, building to the arrival of Nappa and Vegeta on Earth.

The gameplay draws unmistakable inspiration from classic Japanese RPGs, with party-based battles and skill progression that reward patient, strategic play. You control Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, Krillin, Tien and Yamcha, with up to three in battle at a time and the freedom to swap members whenever you like. Victories earn Ability Points to unlock and upgrade each fighter's skills, a Rage gauge powers ultimate attacks, and when two or more gauges are full, allies can team up for a Sparking Combo. Pressing guard just before an enemy strikes cuts the damage, which keeps every turn engaged, and out on the field map, ki blasts clear rocks and brush to open new paths.

Visually, Attack of the Saiyans makes excellent use of the DS hardware, pairing sharp 2D sprite art with animated portraits and fluid, detailed attack animations that capture the high energy of the anime. Tsukasa Masuko composed the score, and Japanese voice clips punctuate the special attacks. Critics praised its battle system, visuals and faithfulness to the source, and in Japan, where it was released as Dragon Ball Kai: Saiyan Invasion, it was the third best-selling game of May 2009. For fans who know the Saiyan saga by heart, it is a genuinely different way to live through it.
