Dragon Ball Xenoverse Bundle Edition is a 3D action fighting game that places players in the role of a custom-created warrior intervening in the Dragon Ball timeline. The experience centers on time patrol duties where altered events require direct combat involvement to restore the original course of history.
Gameplay
Combat unfolds in fully three-dimensional arenas with destructible environments and free movement across ground, air, and even underwater sections. Fighters manage a ki meter for attacks alongside a stamina gauge that enables quick repositioning and powers certain techniques. Character progression involves leveling up to a cap of 99 while learning skills through an apprenticeship system with series figures who serve as masters. Five playable races offer distinct starting attributes and growth patterns, with customization extending to physical traits and equipment. Battles support up to three-versus-three formats in select scenarios, and split-screen local play allows direct competition.
Game Modes
Universe Mode forms the central narrative path where the player alters and corrects key moments across the Dragon Ball saga. Parallel Quest Mode delivers repeatable challenges set in altered timelines, complete with optional hidden conditions for bonus rewards. Sagas break down the story into distinct arcs covering events from the Saiyan arrival through later conflicts involving figures like Cell and Majin Buu. Tenkaichi Budokai Mode recreates the world tournament format in real time, supporting both online matches against other players and spectator viewing.
Core Mechanics and Progression
Exploration occurs in Toki Toki City as the main hub alongside select Dragon Ball locations. Players locate masters to complete qualification tests and training missions that unlock new abilities and ultimate techniques. Z-Assist features allow masters to enhance attacks once their training concludes. Rewards from quests include zeni, clothing, and skills that further customize the warrior for ongoing timeline corrections.
Current State on PC
The title remains available for PC play as a complete package that incorporates additional content from its original release period. No active seasonal updates or ongoing development cycles apply to this entry, leaving the focus on its established single-player and multiplayer systems.
Is It Worth Playing?
This game suits players who enjoy Dragon Ball combat combined with character creation and timeline intervention mechanics. Those seeking the original experience of the series first entry will find the core loop of story correction through battles intact. Reception has been mixed across platforms, with praise directed at the freedom to shape events and criticism aimed at certain technical aspects of the combat camera. It provides a self-contained package for fans prioritizing the initial Xenoverse approach over later installments.
