Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku is an action role-playing game developed by Webfoot Technologies and published by Infogrames for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance and originally released 14 May 2002 in America and 04 October 2002 in Europe.
The Legacy of Goku was the first in a line of action role-playing games developed by Webfoot for the franchise, with Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku II releasing the following year and Dragon Ball Z: Buu's Fury in 2004.
Gameplay
The Legacy of Goku functions as an Action-RPG. Combat is handled in real-time on the overworld, with Goku able to move and position himself at all times during battle. Goku can attack using standard physical punches or one of three Ki attacks.
Defeating enemies and completing quests will net Goku experience points. Receiving enough experience points will increase Goku's level, which increases attributes such as his health and his ki.
Story
The Legacy of Goku adapts the story of the Dragon Ball Z television series, starting from the arrival of Raditz to the final battle between Goku and Freeza. Between key story points are quests, such as helping the villagers that are needed to progress.
