He controlled as I would expect, moving a little slowly, with somewhat larger and rounder movements compared to some of the other characters I tried. My first choice was Android 16, who fans of Dragon Ball Z might remember as being a rather large, hulking android who had quite the destructive power. There was a wide range of characters for me to choose from, so I was able to sample a number of different fighting styles during my time with Xenoverse 2. These super and ultimate attacks consume Ki, which is generated during combat and from charging yourself when possible, making sure that you can’t use them forever, but it never took long to be able to launch another attack.
As well as the super attacks, there are also ultimate attacks, which comes with a small cutscene-like scene before a massive devastating attack is launched. Shooting giant energy beams and punching your enemy into the ground from 50 metres in the sky will always be fun to see and feels incredibly satisfying. Every character also has a range of super attacks they can use, which is where the real flash and bang is in Xenoverse 2. You have weak and strong attacks, which can be strung together in a combo, Ki blasts, throws and your standard guard. The increase has helped make the overall game more responsive and fluid, making the entire experience better.Ĭombat itself was also incredibly similar to Dragon Ball Xenoverse, which makes perfect sense considering there was nothing really wrong with the original combat system.
The biggest improvement to how the game controls is the increase to 60fps, compared to the 30fps of the original game. The new Homing Dash is excellent for even faster dashing towards an enemy, the Aura Burst Dash lets you dodge incoming attacks while dashing and the snap vanish mechanic seems to be more responsive then before. The controls in Xenoverse 2 are largely similar to the first game, but the few additions that have been made have definitely improved the overall experience. One change that was definitely noticeable was the Ki Blasts, which now arc in the air instead of going straight at your opponent like in the first game. While there hasn’t been a big graphical increase, your kamehamehas and galick guns still look incredible on screen and are incredibly satisfying to shoot at your opponents. The first thing I noticed when jumping into my first fight in Xenoverse 2 was that it looks extremely similar to the original Dragon Ball Xenoverse.
While his hands-off demo focused on the story and hub world of Xenoverse 2, my hands-on demo was all about the multiplayer mode and how that embodies the signature explosive action of Dragon Ball Z. We last had a chance to try Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 when Adam got to check it out back at E3 2016.
