Granted, you can only do so much with a story about demons trying to distort time, but Xenoverse 2 is rehashed to an unfortunate degree. Towa and Mira are back, recruiting antagonists such as Janemba and Lord Slug, to go about altering time in the vast universe. The plot behind Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is essentially the same as before. You still can’t become a Saiyan God, or the Blue version past that, but that leaves something for future releases. For example, a Saiyan character can now go Super Saiyan 3 if their Ki is high enough, Freizas can turn Golden, and Buus can transform into Kid Buu. Overall, not a whole lot has changed with these five races, although there have been some overdue enhancements. Considering these are pretty much the only significant being in the Dragon Ball universe, you can’t really fault Dimps for not adding to the pool, although it would have been interesting if there was the option to create your own race from scratch. You can once again pick a race of Majin, Saiyan, Earthling, Namekian or Freiza, each with their own unique perks. Here, players will get to create their new hero of time as the silent protagonist from the first game is off doing his or her own thing – although occasionally popping up in the story. Xenoverse 2 brings players to a brand new hub area called Canton City, a location that’s heavily varied with iconic Dragon Ball sites. At the very least, let’s hope this opens up the possibility of Dragon Ball FighterZ seeing the light of day on Nintendo’s platform. Even so, Bandai Namco has decided to bring the 3D fighter onto the handheld/console hybrid in hopes of attracting a new crowd and the results are mixed. Unfortunately, upon its release late last year, Xenoverse 2 was met with mixed critical reception, as it’s far from the most tightly knit fighting game experience on the market. Throw in a character creator and RPG elements, and you have yourself a game with all the potential in the world. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 takes all your beloved Dragon Ball characters and mashes them up in a time-alternating plot that has many twists and turns along the way. Well here comes a new addition to the Switch’s ever growing catalogue: Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. Not only did Pokken Tournament DX come out earlier this month, but we also saw the introduction of Nintendo’s brand new IP, Arms, and Capcom’s revamped Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challenges a couple months after the platform’s release. If there’s one genre that has had a surprising amount of support on the Nintendo Switch, it’s fighting games.
