The popular fighting and role-playing game retains a similar gameplay as its past iterations. Gamers have to stay alive in the 3D battle arenas in order to advance and win. They are also able to travel to different hubs and master a few skills that will be helpful during quests and mini-games. Gamers also get a highlighted "Dragon Ball" story that explores the most historical moments in the anime's universe.
"Dragon Ball Xenoverse" first hit store shelves in the first quarter of 2015 and earned high ratings from gamers and critics alike. The second installment came out in the market in the fall of 2016.
