Dragon Ball Z Gaiden Saiyan Extermination Plan is a licensed turn-based adventure RPG published by Bandai exclusively for the Famicom. Goku and allies investigate a mysterious plot designed to eliminate all Saiyans. Traverse the overworld, gather clues and engage grid-based turn battles against bio-android threats spawned by the conspiracy.
The world map links rural towns, wilderness zones and secret research laboratories. Random encounters trigger tactical combat. Victories raise character power levels and unlock upgraded combat techniques.
Scripted story battles reveal layers of the extermination conspiracy as the campaign advances.
Bandai’s anime-inspired tile graphics and dramatic suspenseful soundtrack maintain tense mystery atmosphere separate from the main DBZ timeline.
Strategically, consistent conspiracy unraveling evenly trains available combatants. Overreliance solely on Goku leaves allies unprepared for continuous waves of android ambushes.
For contemporary Famicom retro Dragon Ball Z licensed collectors, this original side-story Gaiden delivers a unique self-contained Saiyan conspiracy narrative unavailable in the main anime and manga arcs.
