Drawing upon a pseudo-MMO world and mission structure – you can even interact with online players here – the game features a number of activities such as side quests, challenges and training. Xenoverse 2’s gameplay is where it really sets itself apart. It’s a shame, however, that once again a Dragon Ball game is rehashing too many elements we’ve seen before rather than creating something entirely new. Several scenes in particular were surprisingly sentimental as a longtime fan of series. You’re also thrust full-force into a number of iconic fights, some of which plays a bit on the emotions.

For example, when you travel to Planet Namek, a certain other character ends up swapped with Captain Ginyu rather than Goku. These key moments offer up some alternate takes on established events. Naturally, you’ll need to stop them, traveling through the series’ key moments in the process. The villains behind these happenings – Towa and Mira – have gathered up a new crew of bad guys from the various Dragon Ball timelines to carry out their deeds. Taking place two years following the events of the first game, Xenoverse 2 begins with history starting to change once again.

It’s through them you’ll progress through the main scenario as you see fit, taking on main quests along with various training and side missions as you grow your character. Once you create your character and stroll around the main hub area of Conton City for a bit, you’ll be acclimated with a pair of deities overseeing your journey: the Supreme Kai of Time and the Elder Kai. The game’s story plays out in a mission-based structure of sorts. Remember: time travel is technically illegal here. The storied history of Dragon Ball always seems to be under threat and it’s up to you to set things right. Boasting several improvements over its predecessor, it’s being called the “biggest Dragon Ball game yet.” But did they succeed?ĭragon Ball Xenoverse 2 puts you in the shoes of a Time Patroller – a special agent tasked with the hefty responsibility of keeping history as it should be. Following the largely successful Dragon Ball Xenoverse, Bandai Namco has been hard at work on the follow-up: Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2.
