About this game

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 has been around long enough that it’s less a game and more a small universe unto itself. Instead of handing you a pre-made Goku or Vegeta, it puts you in the driver’s seat: you build your own fighter, drop them into Conton City, and start working under the actual Dragon Ball cast as your mentors while you fight to keep the timeline from unraveling. It’s a fan-fiction premise turned into a full action game, and that setup is really the hook. You’re not reliving the anime beat for beat, you’re inserted into it.

How it plays

The core loop is straightforward once you’re in it: create and level up your custom character, take on missions and story battles across different eras of the Dragon Ball timeline, and pick up new moves, transformations, and gear as you go. Combat leans on the series’ usual mix of ki blasts, melee combos, and flashy signature attacks, with enough customization in moveset and appearance that two players’ characters rarely look or fight the same way. Beyond the solo campaign, there’s an online layer too, letting you square off against other players or band together for raid battles against oversized bosses. Because the game has been supported for years, there’s also a long tail of added characters and storylines pulled from Z, Super, and the movies, so the roster and content on offer have grown well past what shipped at launch.

Who it’s for

This one is built for Dragon Ball fans first and action-RPG fans second. If you’ve ever wanted to stand next to Piccolo or Trunks as something other than a spectator, the character-insertion angle scratches an itch nothing else really does. People who like leveling systems, gear grinding, and steadily unlocking new special moves will also find plenty to chew on. It’s less suited to players looking for tight, competitive one-on-one fighting mechanics in the vein of a traditional fighter, or anyone who wants a short, focused campaign rather than a game that keeps expanding. If Dragon Ball doesn’t interest you at all, nothing here is likely to convert you.

Is it worth it?

For the audience it’s aimed at, the value proposition is pretty easy to make. This isn’t a game you finish once and shelve, it’s one built around returning to Conton City, trying new builds, and working through years of added content at your own pace. That kind of longevity is exactly what makes it a smart pickup when it’s discounted rather than something to justify at full price out of curiosity. If you already know you like Dragon Ball and don’t mind a game that rewards sticking with it over jumping in for a weekend, it holds up well as a sale purchase.
