Playing through an Arc

Each arc is further divided into chapters and progresses through the three following types of screens. Defeat the boss of a map screen to complete that map and move on to the next one. You’ll only be able to play as Goku at first, but you’ll gain access to more characters by completing maps and rescuing allies.

Map Screen

You can adjust various game settings, select “Retry” to start the map over from the beginning, or save your current progress and exit the game.

Battle Icons

Battles play out differently depending on the icons that appear on each battle space.

Rescue Event: Win the battle to rescue an ally and add them to your list of playable characters.

Boss Battle: Win the battle to complete the map.

Battle Screen

Moving to a battle space will trigger a battle with an enemy team. The results of the battle will be displayed once the battle is finished, and you will receive EXP, Zeni, and/or skills if you are victorious. If the battle was part of a Rescue Event, you will also unlock a new playable character. Continue earning EXP to increase your characters’ levels and raise their abilities.
Note: You will lose the battle if all of your team members’ health reaches zero or time runs out.

Ally Health and Incapacitation

Allies will recover a set amount of health at the end of each battle won. Any allies whose health reaches zero will be unable to fight in future battles. You can revive an incapacitated ally by switching them out and winning other battles with a different ally.

Editing Your Team

Press the button on the map screen to edit your team (Player Team), equip skills or items, or view ally stats. To change a team member, either select “No Character Selected” from your Player Team or choose a specific character you would like to add to your team.

Getting a Game Over

Running out of turns on the map screen or losing all available allies will result in a Game Over. You can try to complete the map again from the beginning by selecting “Retry”.

Equipping Skills

Skills are earned from battles and provide various effects such as boosted stats when equipped to a character. On the Player Skills screen, choose a slot and then select a skill you would like to equip from the list. You can highlight a particular skill to see its effect.
