Play Dragon Ball Z: The Legend Online

Summary

Dragon Ball Z: Legends (known in Japan as Idainaru Dragon Ball Densetsu) throws you into a fighting arena that feels like a living comic strip. 2‑D character sprites glide through a fully 3‑D space, and while every bout starts on the ground, the real excitement lifts you skyward as fighters soar, punch, and blast ki in all directions.

The game’s core is a three‑on‑three system where you can swap up to three characters mid‑match, using a six‑button layout that feels familiar yet fresh. Each fighter’s ki pool drains with every special move, forcing you to balance aggression with conservation, while a shared energy meter shifts back and forth until one side triggers a cinematic "Meteo Attack" to finish the fight.

With a roster of 35 characters—including their iconic transformations—the story mode is split into episodes that trace the major DBZ battles from the Saiyan saga through the Majin Buu conclusion. The episode structure lets you relive each iconic clash while experimenting with team combos.

In Japan the PlayStation launch moved 70,453 units in its first week and eventually topped 300,000 copies across PlayStation and Saturn. Critics were mixed, ranging from a modest 5.5/10 to an 81% score, reflecting the game’s bold but uneven attempt to reinvent the fighting genre.
