Summary

Dragon Ball Z: Harukanaru Densetsu is a card‑based role‑playing adventure that lets you relive the series from the early Saiyan battles all the way through the Cell saga on the Nintendo DS. You pick one of the four iconic heroes—Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, or Vegeta—and build a deck of cards that represent attacks, defenses, items and special actions. Each card carries a power number, and the game rewards clever combos; three cards rated 7 can be merged into a single 21‑power strike, while defensive values stack in the same way. Missions are bite‑sized, usually lasting five to thirty minutes, and are broken into clear objectives that earn experience and level‑up your cards, making future attacks stronger. The board itself works like a tabletop game, with players moving pieces across a map and triggering card effects that can shift the terrain or alter opponent stats. The title offers a robust multiplayer experience: up to four friends can clash on a shared map via Wireless Play, and a two‑player Download Play mode pits Vegeta against Goku in a quick duel. Support cards bring allies such as Tien, Yamcha, Yajirobe or Krillin into the fray, adding extra layers of strategy. Critics were split on the game’s execution, landing it at a middling 57 on Metacritic and about 58 % on GameRankings, reflecting mixed feelings about its depth and presentation.

Storyline

Dragon Ball Z: Harukanaru Densetsu (often just called Harukanaru Densetsu) covers the series’ narrative from the opening of the Saiyan Saga all the way through to the conclusion of the Cell Saga. The game’s story follows the classic Saiyan‑to‑Cell arcs that fans know from the anime.

Gameplay is organized into separate scenarios, each one focused on one of four playable characters. This structure lets players experience the major events of the saga from different perspectives, giving a varied take on the same overarching storyline.
