Play Dragon Ball Z Super Gokuden - Kakusei Hen Online

Dragon Ball Z Super Gokuden: Kakusei Hen came out for the Super Nintendo in 1995, developed by TOSE and published by Bandai. It was one of several Dragon Ball RPGs on the system, arriving late in the SNES lifecycle when developers were really squeezing everything they could out of the hardware. The game covers the Saiyan and Frieza sagas, sticking to a familiar story but presenting it through its own specific, menu-driven lens.

You control Goku, navigating the world through a simple top-down view, talking to characters and triggering turn-based battles. Your main goal is to follow the story beats, training and fighting to power up for the next big confrontation. The combat relies on a card-based system where you select attack, dodge, or special move cards each turn; managing your ki is crucial because powerful techniques like the Kamehameha will drain it completely if used carelessly. Dialogue choices pop up frequently, and some of them can actually alter which events you experience or even allow you to skip certain fights entirely. The pacing is deliberate, sometimes slow, with a fair amount of backtracking and random encounters. It feels like a thoughtful, almost methodical take on the usually frantic Dragon Ball universe.
