There has been no shortage of Dragon Ball Z games over the last few years. One game that was released a couple of years ago, but is still being supported is Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. Today I am looking at the PlayStation 4 version of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, but it is also available for Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

What Is The Story?

If you are a fan of Dragon Ball Z you will get a real kick out of the story. It is a time traveling story that sees you having to go back through time in order to fix events from the history of Dragon Ball history that has gone wrong. It is really cool and getting to take part in these epic battles is really neat. On the flip side of this though, other Dragon Ball Z games have retold the series history before so some may feel it is getting a little old. I though think there is enough here to make it fun and exciting and it is even cooler as you are playing as your own character. The fact that Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 looks like a million bucks make the story segments and the battles even more awesome. Seriously the leap in quality of presentation from the first game to this one is insane.

Impressive Character Creation

The idea of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is the same as the first one, you need to create your character. You have a ton of options at your disposal here and you can have a Frieza race character, a Namekian, a Saiyan or whatever. I ended up having multiple different characters created as it was so much fun creating a character.

Conton City

The first Dragon Ball Xenoverse game had an impressive hub world, but Conton City takes it a step further. You are free to go around here all you like and this is where you will encounter other players, train, buy stuff and of course further the story along. You can also use Conton City to take you to other hubs such as the Namekian Village and the badass ship that Frieza has. There is so much fan service in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 that each time you come across something you have seen in the show it puts a huge smile on your face.

Fight!!!!

The main part of what you will be doing in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is fighting. The fights take place in a 3D realm, similar to what the first game offered. I found that the fighting was much better this time around. When playing as your own character, you have a ton of choice in the moves that you can do. Pulling off the special moves is actually really easy and the game does a good job in regulating things so that certain moves do not get overused. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is one of those games that when you watch someone else play it. It looks way too chaotic and like it would be very complicated, well it is not. It is very easy to get to grips with and you will be pulling off epic combos in no time at all. You can also play fights where you play as an actual Dragon Ball character. The roster is stacked and they have been great at supporting the game with DLC, long after it was released.

If you love Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 and still have not played this game… what is wrong with you???? This is a fantastic game, it manages to let you relive some of the most epic Dragon Ball Z moments from history, but it offers enough new content to make it exciting and predictable. It is a lot of fun to play and the presentation is amazing. I do think that to get the best out of it, you have to be a fan of the series. Still, the fighting, creating and the RPG elements are tight enough that even someone with a passing interest in Dragon Ball would have a fun time with this game.

8/10

Game Reviews

An anime battle that takes place outside of time and space right on your screens is Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. Play as characters from your favorite anime series and tackle the space arena to defeat even the gods.

Time Line Salvation

The action of Part 2 takes place two years after the events of Dragon Ball Xenoverse. After receiving a mission from Elder Kai, the protagonist is about to embark on a mission that will change the history of time. However, along the way, the team, led by the protagonist, encounters the Supreme Kai of Time. The deity and his bird, capable of giving birth to universes, send the team on a more important mission. The hero must now fix the fight between Goku and Raditz.

Open world in a fighting game.

The gameplay is three-dimensional combat with a partially destructible environment. All locations are familiar Dragon Ball Z worlds. Although the battles take place only in arenas, there is a huge open location with free movement and even the ability to fly. In addition, you can create your own hero in the game. Character customization offers you to choose not only the hairstyle or clothes of the hero but also the race:

  • People
  • Saiyans
  • Majin
  • Namecians
  • Race Friezes

Every race will have advantages as well as disadvantages. Differences in races are especially noticeable in multiplayer mode, where other players can use the weaknesses of your character's race against themselves.

Train by yourself and with old acquaintances

There are many training fields and halls within the game. Train your own techniques, individual to your race and skill level. The game also allows you to transfer saved data from the first part, Dragon Ball Xenoverse. Then your past character will appear as another inhabitant of the vast open world.

Feel yourself a part of the fight for world tranquility in all of Dragon Ball Z's timelines. Test yourself in the best fighting game based on anime and change time with familiar characters in the fighting game - Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2.
