Dragon Ball Z II - Gekishin Freeza!! (Japan) (Rev 1)

Dragon Ball Z II - Gekishin Freeza!! is a turn-based role-playing game (RPG) featuring a unique card-based combat system. Players control familiar characters from the Dragon Ball Z series, embarking on a journey across Planet Namek to confront Frieza and his formidable army. The storyline closely follows the events of the Frieza saga, from the initial arrival on Namek and encounters with the Ginyu Force to the climactic battles against Frieza's various transformations.

The combat system is the game's core highlight. In each turn, both the player and the opponent select two cards from their hand. Each card displays two numbers: the top number typically represents attack power (ATK) or speed (SPD), while the bottom number signifies defensive power (DEF) or a special ability. Additionally, some cards feature Kanji characters at the bottom, which correspond to powerful special moves like Kamehameha, Makankosappo, or strong physical attacks. Players must strategically choose one card for offense and another for defense or to activate a special skill.

The outcome of a battle round depends on the combination of numbers and skills on the chosen cards. If your attack number is higher than the opponent's defense number, you will deal damage. Conversely, if the opponent has a higher defense number, the damage will be reduced or negated. Special techniques consume the character's Ki (energy), but they often inflict significantly more damage or provide unique effects, such as stunning the opponent. Players need to manage their Ki wisely to unleash powerful attacks at critical moments.

Between battles, players explore the world map of Namek, interacting with non-player characters (NPCs) to gather information, receive side quests, or find valuable items. The leveling system allows your characters to grow stronger, boosting their stats such as HP, Ki, Power, Defense, and Speed. Upon leveling up, characters can learn new techniques, unlocking more powerful cards that provide players with a wider range of strategic options in subsequent battles.

Dragon Ball Z II - Gekishin Freeza!! offers a deep RPG experience with a distinctive card-based strategic element, faithfully recreating one of the most iconic sagas in Dragon Ball Z.
