The campaign does a great job of introducing the mechanics, while challenging the player to implement new ways of playing. Unfortunately I don’t have a reference point for what is canon, but I did comprehend plot twists originating from some ultra-evil looking dudes. The main adventure consists of single-player story-based missions taking place during the Dragon Ball Z saga. Want to be a ki-blast master, a striking savant, or a high flying hybrid? The menagerie of skills and abilities gives tons of freedom for players to craft out their kit to suit their particular playstyle. After choosing your race, your character can be customized to your heart’s content, both cosmetically and skill wise, giving tons of control in how you want to build your custom character. These customization improvements over the previous game have separated the races further and made them more unique. Each race has its benefits and drawbacks, such as the Namekians having a lower overall attack power but higher health, while the Majin have higher defense but recover stamina more slowly. Players can build from one of the five main races: Human, Saiyan, Namekian, Frieza, and Majin. Xenoverse 2 has done a wonderful thing and allow players to become a part of the world, the story, and the fiction using their own original character. It feels as though Bandai Namco wanted fans of the anime to fulfill the Dragon Ball dreams they were crafting in their minds growing up. Fixing tears in the timeline requires characters to relieve epic battles from the series and ensure the proper outcome happens. Under the guidance of the Supreme Kai of Time, players will venture throughout the sprawling timeline of Dragon Ball Z and prevent any anomalies from happening, lest the whole universe butterfly effects itself out of existence.

Players take on the role of a Time Patroller.

Thankfully, the team at Dimps and Bandai Namco have captured the essence of the Dragon Ball universe and translated it into a fulfilling take on the property. If this reference is wasted on you, you’re like me and didn’t get into the anime when it became popular in North America. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 has made me feel like I missed an essential part of growing up I wasn’t the kid throwing kamehamehas across the schoolyard at my friend who had just turned into a giant ape.
