Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku (2002)

Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku is a 2002 role-playing (rpg) video game made by Webfoot Technologies.

Brash, kinetic, and built around the unmistakable rhythm of the Dragon Ball Z anime, The Legacy of Goku puts you in the boots of Son Goku across the Frieza Saga. The top-down RPG covers the journey from Earth to Namek, letting you power up through familiar Saiyan training, explore open environments, and trade ki blasts and melee combos with the series' roster of villains. It is a faithful distillation of the cartoon's pacing and humor, aimed squarely at fans who want to inhabit the story rather than just watch it.

A few thoughts on Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku

Fans who want the Dragon Ball Z story in a longer format should go straight to Dragon Ball Z, which covers the same Frieza arc and beyond with the full weight of the anime. For a feature-length companion, Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods captures the series' blend of spectacle and humor in a polished, canon package.

The Frieza Saga in full

Legacy of Goku retells the Namek arc beat for beat. If you want the full story without the game's brevity, the original series and the theatrical films fill every gap.

Before and after Goku

The game drops you in mid-canon. The classic Dragon Ball series shows where it all started, while Super and DAIMA take the story far beyond Frieza.

GBA RPGs and anime tie-ins from that era

Legacy of Goku was one of the few GBA titles to make a licensed RPG work. Other open-world and action-RPG games from the same period show what the genre was doing at the time.
