A new video from Bandai Namco has given us a glimpse of how character progression will work in the upcoming Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. The three-minute video showcases the many ways we can make Goku and the rest of the gang more powerful. It's more than just fighting, the action RPG aims to give us a glimpse into the life of a mighty warrior in the world of Dragon Ball Z.
While the game features experience points that you earn for fighting, there are other ways to level up. Cooking and eating food will provide both temporary buffs and permanent stat boosts. You can eat in city restaurants or on campfires when you are in the world.
As you explore the world, you can find Z orbs which will help you acquire super attacks. These can be spent to unlock new special attacks and increase your abilities. Other skills can be obtained by training at training grounds located around the world.
Finding D medals will allow you to engage in mental training, face off against other Z warriors and even your character. You can also use Community Tips to access new skills. The skills and bonuses you get from these community forums depend on the Soul Emblems you use on them. Soul Emblems are earned by completing side quests and progressing through the main story.
With so many ways to level up your character, a huge story campaign to play out, and plenty of secondary content, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is shaping up to be a worthy game for fans of the series.
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot will be released on January 16, 2020 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
