DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE PC REVIEW

In DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE you revisit famous battles from Dragon Ball Z and GT with a custom character. Most important events within the DBZ & DB: GT timeline start changing in the worst way, Trunks is forced to request the help of a strong warrior who will help him to keep the timeline in the correct way.

You can choose from five races: Buu, Human, Saiyan, Namekian and a Frieza Race. Each race comes with differing stats. The character's look can be customized in a variety of different ways.

After the character creation part you are brought in by Trunks, who is a member of the Time Patrol and the action directly starts.

The gameplay is simple. You have 2 attack buttons and an energy shot button, a ki bar, a stamina bar, 4 super attacks, 2 ultimate attacks and an escape move. Supers and Ultimates use ki and teleporting/guarding/escape moves use stamina.

The story mode is immersive, it is packed with interesting scenarios and intense battles. Dragon Ball Xenoverse operates like an MMO. Beyond leveling up and applying points to various statistics, you can purchase and use an assortment of clothing and special techniques for your fighter.

Alongside the story missions are offline and online Parallel Quests, which act as supplemental scenes to the main narrative. Here you also fight on the side of the evil guys instead of the actual good guys. Once you unlock the entire roster, you will notice a huge lack of important missing character transformations and movie fighters, e.g. Master Roshi, Janemba, Majin Vegeta, Baby and more.

There is local multiplayer as well as an online arena. Unfortunately, most people who will challenge you for a PVP battle are using god mode. So, if you want to battle other players, you have to be careful with the decision for an opponent.

The visuals look pretty good. Characters look accurate and well made. The graphics are perfect for a Dragon Ball game.

The soundtrack is amazing. The background music, the music during fights and cutscenes fits perfectly. Of course you can also find the song "CHA-LA, HEAD CHA-LA!" in the game.

From time to time there can be online server issues and you will get disconnected or you just can not connect. Overall, it is still a must have for fans of the Dragon Ball series. For others who are not familiar with the series it is probably too repetitive.

Pure Dragon Ball feeling. The graphics, the moves looks awsome, and i can finally create my own saiyan, train under Vegeta to be the strongest warrior ever lived! Only the grinding part is a little too much for me, but beside that, i love it!

So smooth, so easy to control everything, yet it feels so close to the original Dragon Ball Z. If you're a fan: BUY. IT. NOW.
