The game uses a story-driven RPG structure where players advance through maps and event scenes between chapters. Battles are turn-based and built around card selection, with cards used for attacks, defense, ki techniques, and special actions. Outcomes are influenced by character status and card combinations. As the story progresses, Goku's abilities and available cards expand, while certain major fights are presented as fixed event battles that recreate iconic anime scenes.

Strategy
Save healing and defensive cards for tough encounters instead of spending them early. Against strong bosses, stabilize your defense and resources first, then look for high-value attack chains. Before advancing major story points, keep the party in good condition, since some scripted battles have low margins for error. When exploration is available, check event triggers carefully so you do not miss required scenes or upgrades.
