Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is an action fighting game that combines 3D combat with character customization and story elements drawn from the Dragon Ball series. The Hero of Justice Pack Set adds playable characters from the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero movie along with related quests and moves to the existing experience on PC.
Gameplay
Combat revolves around a mix of melee strikes, ki blasts, grabs, and special techniques. Players control characters in three-dimensional arenas where they can fly, dash, vanish to reposition, and break an opponent's stamina to open them up for stronger attacks. Light and heavy strikes form basic combos, while super attacks and ultimate moves deliver high-damage finishers once enough ki is gathered. Character creation lets players build their own fighter with adjustable attributes that influence strength, speed, and ki capacity. The system supports both single-player progression and cooperative or competitive encounters through shared mechanics like lock-on targeting and power fly movement.
Game Modes
Story Mode follows a time patrol narrative where players correct distortions in the Dragon Ball timeline across multiple eras. Parallel Quests allow replay of key events under altered conditions, often with specific objectives or character restrictions. Raid Battles pit groups of players against large bosses in cooperative scenarios such as Crystal Raid encounters. Additional options include challenge quests for learning mechanics, school quests tied to the Patroller Academy, and direct online player-versus-player matches. The Hero of Justice Pack Set introduces new Parallel Quests and extra missions centered on the Super Hero movie events, expanding these core loops with fresh scenarios and a new stage.
Characters and Progression
The pack set brings in Gamma 1, Gamma 2, Gohan in his Super Hero appearance, Gohan in Beast form, Orange Piccolo, and Piccolo with Power Awakening as playable options. These join the roster alongside new moves, super souls that modify abilities, and additional costumes or accessories. Progression ties into the existing attribute and customization systems, letting players integrate the new fighters into Parallel Quests or online battles. Illustrations and other unlockables provide further rewards for completing the added content.
Is It Worth Playing?
Player feedback highlights solid combat feel and strong Dragon Ball fan service as strengths, while noting repetition in some mission types and occasional control issues. The game maintains active support through ongoing updates that pair with new content releases. Those who enjoy 3D fighting games with deep customization, timeline-spanning stories, and both solo quests and group raids will find the most value here. The Hero of Justice Pack Set specifically appeals to fans of the Super Hero movie by expanding the roster and quest variety without altering the core loop. Reception from aggregated reviews places critic scores around the low seventies out of one hundred and user scores near seven point five, reflecting consistent enjoyment for series followers despite some dated elements.
