Dragon Ball Z III: Ressen Jinzou Ningen is a classic card-based RPG released by Bandai for the NES (Famicom) in 1992. Based on the Android Saga of the anime, players navigate a board game-like map and engage in turn-based battles using a deck of cards. Each card has a star rating for attack power and a symbol for defense, making combat a mix of strategy and luck as you guide Goku, Vegeta, and the Z Fighters against the Red Ribbon Androids.
How to Play
In both exploration and combat, actions are determined by drawing and playing cards. The number of stars at the top of the card dictates movement spaces on the map or attack power in battle, while the bottom symbol represents defense. Use the Arrow Keys (D-pad) to highlight your choices, press Z (A button) to confirm selections, and X (B button) to cancel. Press Enter (Start) to pause or access menus.
Tips
- Cards with a “Z” rating (represented by a specific kanji) have the highest attack powerโsave these for boss fights against the Androids.
- Matching a character’s specific martial arts school symbol (like the Turtle or Demon symbols) with their card will trigger a powerful signature attack.
- Stockpile support items and healing cards, as the encounter rate is high and boss battles can quickly wear down your party’s health.
