Apart from keeping the authenticity of the brand, the game is clearly written and crafted by the fans and for the fans.
“Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2” also cut its ties with the last generation gaming consoles and optimized its semi-open world gameplay for current platforms. The game developer has likewise crafted what is apparently the largest “Dragon Ball” world ever created in the 30-year history of the franchise.
The series marked its 30th anniversary early this year and also celebrated three decades of Super Saiyans, wish-granting dragons, and power levels which have gone way beyond a paltry 9,000.
In the gameplay story, players navigate by bolting around in the air the fairly huge hub world of Conton City, which is filled with Capsule Corp references, classic characters, such as Vegeta and Piccolo, who are ready to serve as trainers and other characters present on the same online lobby.
The player takes on the role of a Time Patroller, an era-hopping enforcer-like role tasked with correcting anomalies along the Dragon Ball timeline.
While there is a through-line story involving a mysterious threat to the Dragon Ball-verse it is interesting to see whether the concept has any further hidden depth beyond what gamers can actually remember.
