Is Dragon Ball 3 - Gokuu Den still worth playing in 2026?
A Bandai action RPG, Dragon Ball 3 Gokuu Den has an adult Goku explore new lands, following the manga's arcs through exploration, combat and a card system. More accomplished than the series' early Famicom entries, it appeals through its faithfulness to the story and the hero's progression, in a title kept Japanese. The presentation and system stay dated and the language barrier hinders. A pick for fans of retro Dragon Ball and lovers keen to relive the founding arcs.
