This latest entry forgoes all of that and makes every fight feel exciting from the get go, while still ramping up the challenge and intensity as you progress. Combat started out incredibly slow as you slogged your way through missions in order to earn at least one move that was worth equipping to your hero. The previous game had a slow build before you felt like you were truly accomplishing anything of note. The focus on a tighter, much smoother experience made the act of grinding out experience yet again an enjoyable diversion. Fortunately enough, though, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2’s adjusted gameplay quickly pushed this thought from my mind. Plus, unlocking all of the secret items using countless Dragon Balls was an incredible task all on its own. It took hundreds of Time Patrol runs and several playthroughs of the story to get everything exactly how I wanted it.
I will admit that I was at first a bit miffed that I would have to start over from scratch after having put in so much effort with my first Hero of Time.
You can bring over one of your created fighters from the previous game if you’re playing on the same platform family, but they’ll serve as Trunks’ partner throughout the story. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 actually has you create an entirely new hero for this run, though. You’re once again an agent of the Time Patrol, sworn to defend history by traveling back to pivotal points and making sure evil doesn’t rewrite major events. If you played the first entry in this series, the story will not prove to be much of a surprise. For Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, Dimps and Bandai Namco set out to address those issues which has lead to something better, yet still flawed. Finally, there was something that let fans become a part of the world that they have loved for so long, and it was actually pretty good even though it had some issues. For years the Dragon Ball games seemed to be almost afraid to step out of the standard arena it built around itself, focusing on the same characters while just slightly tweaking gameplay and visuals. While it wasn’t the best game in the franchise, Dragon Ball Xenoverse managed to inject some much-needed freshness into a universe that was steeped in nostalgia.
