Maybe it’s the versatility of Unreal Engine. I wish I had given it a shot now, but I’m glad I decided to try out the Switch port on a whim.
I thought an adaptation of Goku’s story as an RPG was certainly interesting, but even CyberConnect 2’s involvement wasn’t enough to win me over. I enjoyed Dragon Ball FighterZ, but I tend to not play many licensed anime games otherwise. When our own George Foster reviewed Dragon Ball Z Kakarot on PS4 for us last year, I wasn’t sold. I say this as both an extremely casual DBZ fan and someone whose Switch library consists mostly of ports.
I had considered it pretty high up on quality Nintendo Switch ports of 8th generation games, but only a week later (and from the exact same publisher, no less) the bar has been raised even higher.ĭragon Ball Z: Kakarot might be the best Switch port I’ve ever played. Last week I wrote about the switch port Ni no Kuni II, discussing how impressive of a conversion it was despite some unfortunate setbacks needed to get it to run on the portable platform.
I’ll be honest, I did not expect this piece to have the tone it ended up with.
