Fans both old and new can play through favorite moments of the historic manga and anime series in
Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans. The interactive adventure plays like a console-style
role-playing game, with turn-based combat and small-squad strategy. Choosing from a handful of main characters, players can put together their own three-member teams to lead through the story. They'll need to use teamwork and powerful Ki attacks, both in battle and to overcome game world obstacles. As characters progress through the plot, they gain experience and become stronger, with new and more powerful attacks and special abilities. In style and theme, the game fits in with a 20th anniversary retelling of the
Dragon Ball Z story. It includes several side-quests and alternate plotlines, allowing hardcore fans to explore familiar tales from new perspectives, and giving newcomers to the series a broader view of the
Dragon Ball universe. Beginning at the 23rd World Tournament, in which
Goku defeats
Piccolo, the game's main campaign follows the plot of the anime and manga series, through
Vegeta's saga in the Saiyan storyline.
