There are some noteworthy omissions, such as various forms of Frieza and Cell, but most mainstays are accounted for. The roster contains dozens of playable characters from the Dragon Ball universe. The game’s all about taking charge of the playing field, linking combos to super moves, and preventing your opponent a chance to fight back. As long as you have stamina in your meter, you can also perform mid-attack dodges and even run away for cover. Ki energy allows you to unleash well-timed fireworks display to incinerate foes. Likewise, performing hard-hitting super and ultimate moves is also simple. Physical combos are easy to execute and only require a few button presses as opposed to other games’ complex combos. Although your opponent could be anywhere within the large 3D arena, you can lock on and fly towards them at any time. The game does a remarkable job in making the action accessible. Most of the fighting takes place as you’re flying through the air, abound with intense martial arts and kinetic Ki energy blasts. Combat is just like in the show, which also means it’s unlike any regular fighting game. Once you’ve made your avatar, you can step toe-to-toe with the series’ biggest villains. Finally, as you level up your character, you can boost attributes like health or attack. Unfortunately, their stat outputs are somewhat random and require you to give up hard-earned clothing. The new QQ Bang, formed by synthesizing clothing, offsets that by giving you set stat bonuses regardless of what you’re wearing. A complaint about the original game was that since clothing affected stats, you couldn’t dress how you wanted. You can copy a favorite character, or mix and match styles. Going even further, your hero can equip many combinations of skills and clothing. You can customize gender, facial features, and voice, among other things. There are five races: Earthling, Saiyan, Namekian, Majin, and the Frieza race. You get to play as your own avatar and fight alongside the show’s heroes. This leads to the biggest reason to play this game: its extensive create-a-character mode. If you have save data from the original Xenoverse, you can import your custom character, who plays an important role in the new story.

The differences from the first game include a bigger emphasis on movie villains, pacing alterations, and some new material. You fight your way through the main arcs ( Saiyan, Frieza, etc.) in slight variations of the show’s canon. Two time-hopping villains mess with the continuity of the show’s timeline, and it’s your job as a Time Patroller to correct history. DBXV2’s story takes place after the first game’s, though you wouldn’t think it based on the premise.
