About this game

Dragon Ball: Origins follows Kid Goku and Bulma as they travel the world in search of the seven Dragon Balls. Based on the original Dragon Ball series, the game presents a lighter adventure with exploration, enemies, obstacles, and familiar characters.

Gameplay

The game uses touch-screen controls, with optional button shortcuts. Goku can switch between standard Combat Mode and Power Pole Mode. His extendable Power Pole helps him fight enemies and overcome environmental obstacles, including rivers and rocks.

Players can collect heart pieces from treasure chests to increase Goku and Bulma’s health. Skill orbs obtained after defeating enemies provide skill points, which can improve Goku’s attacks and Bulma’s sub-weapon.
