I recently read a review about this game saying that it was nothing but button-mashing and repetitive fighting styles. For those who believe this, that’s fine. But what’s the difference between this and Mortal Kombat? I’m a gamer who doesn’t like to be bored, and this my friends, does not bore me. You may think differently and that’s okay, but I want you to understand that Dragonball Xenoverse gives much more effort and creativity than any other DBZ game has before.

 

Not to mention the over 50 side missions called “Parallel Quests”, online modes, offline fights, finding Dragonballs to make wishes to unlock even more gear and fighters, and over 45 playable characters, there is a lot to this game. However, like all reviews there are a couple of things I would be weary about. Be prepared to spend time into the game if you want to progress through the entire story. As you level up and move to the next mission, your opponents get much stronger and you’ll seem much weaker. At times you’ll be fighting 3 other enemies by yourself and they each have two full health bars. Your allies during the story hardly do much besides seem like a distraction. When you purchase items you aren’t able to preview them before you buy them so it’s almost like a gamble. And during offline local play, you are limited to one fighting mode and one map with all the characters. 

 

Still, despite these small flaws, I still didn’t hate the game. I hardly got frustrated. It really made me want to get my character stronger so I can fight the tougher enemies. My Saiyan now is stronger than ever at level 50 but since the level cap is level 80 with some more unlockables at that point, I will probably be continuing my journey.
