In one stage, when battling against two giant apes, I was able to fly to a point where they were unable to reach me and spam the circle button until they were defeated, with no challenge whatsoever.Īs sad as it is to admit, strategy within Dragonball Xenoverse 2 is pretty much non-existent, as most of my fights revolved around me spamming square and triangle until all my opponents were defeated. Every battle feels like the same combination of button presses and special moves, which all lead to an unsatisfying victory. Nevertheless, it must be said that Dragonball Xenoverse 2 still fails to deliver the one thing that it prides itself in the most, being a fighting game.Īs much as I wanted to try and find some positives within the fighting, I could not. However, the game does punish players of this play style in its latter stages, so if you have been button mashing Square or Triangle up until this point, you will struggle. It is a shame then that the problems of the first game continue to plague Dragonball Xenoverse 2, with the fighting, most of all, replicating the same button-mashing experience of its predecessor. Your previous character appears alongside your new hero, who has set his sights on becoming the best member of the time patrol, a band of fighters who protect the time stream and everything that occurs, regardless of how gruesome it is. Following on from the first game, Dragonball Xenoverse 2 rewards players with the option to import their Dragonball Xenoverse character and saved data, in order to create a fundamental part of the storyline.
