Xenoverse plays similarly to a lot of other arena-style fighting games, a bit of Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, or Tekken, but gives you huge arenas to fight in along with the ability to fly.
Regardless, the campaign/story are enjoyable and help teach you the basics effectively. Either way, the plot acts more like ‘background noise’ to the huge battles around each corner, which is probably what you’re really here for. With any title that deals with time travel/even alteration, there are bound to be a few plot holes that develop, but none break the immersion too greatly. Going up against the likes of Frieza, Cell, Vegeta, and several others will pull you in battle after battle as you try to stop Towa and Mira from meddling with such events.Īs a whole, the plot is simplistic and easy to follow – it wasn’t truly the focus of the developers. As a newcomer in this universe, while you train under a historic Dragon Ball master of your choice, you will be tasked with restoring the timeline by reliving the most epic battles throughout Dragon Ball’s history. If you’re like me and you’ve had friends who have played Xenoverse, you have likely heard a lot about the online community and the level of challenge it brings to the table, but probably haven’t heard a lot about the main story.
