During the Saiyan saga, when Gohan try to escape from Piccolo, you will encounter your first Villainous Party. What’s most grating is that a particular bug exists where sometimes NPCs outright disappear from their location, making a quest completion impossible until you “refresh” them back in by doing something else first, like leaving the map. But rarely has it been done in such a way that the story has been the star, as opposed to taking a back seat to the action. Despite this somewhat misleading description of the game, it truly does feel like you’re freely traveling across vast, familiar grounds that are unmistakably Dragon Ball—from Diablo Desert to the Southeast Mountains where Goku’s home is located.
