Once you've perfected your fanfiction masterpiece, you are off to save the timeline. Ghost Nappa from Dragon Ball Z Abridgedis available for character creation, complete with a ton of inside jokes about the series. Also, the wonderful voice of Takahata, a. It sort of forces you into making a character that really does look like the carbon copies you find on DeviantArt, and that's amusing. For those of you who are taking character creation seriously, this will be a disappointment, but I personally feel there's a campy tongue-in-cheek self-awareness to the character creator. Unfortunately, the character creator falls a little short in this regard. Then you get to trick out your character however you like, adjusting body dimensions, clothing, hairstyle, and the like.

Trunks, seeing the devastation to the timeline, makes a wish on the Dragon Balls for someone to help him set history right, and BOOM, you showed up. You are a resident of Toki Toki City, a city outside time and space where the greatest warriors of the world converge. A pair of time bandits are wreaking havoc throughout DBZ history by manipulating the events of the timeline such that the future we all know and love never occurs. It shows that Bandai Namco knows its audience, the same audience that draws a million fan made DBZ characters and showcases them on DeviantArt as characters that may even be more powerful than Goku.ĭragon Ball XenoVerse actually has a totally unique story, rather than simply rehashing the events of the DBZ saga again. What I did find, however, was fanfiction, and lots of it. Unfortunately, I did not find a competent fighting game in DBX. For a very long time, Dragon Ball Z games have been nothing more than casual button-mash fests looking to cash in on the Dragon Ball fanbase, but Dimps made some of the early Budokai games, which were actually semi-decent fighting games, and I was hoping to see a return to that formula in XenoVerse.
