I say this because the Xenoverse series feels like the perfect mix of the now closed Dragon Ball Online and the Tenkaichi series from the Playstation 2 and Wii era. The new Golden age is about to hit its stride and accommodate fans of each genre but what is it that makes Xenoverse stand out in its own right? It not only focuses on aspects the fans have wanted for some time but it makes sure to learn from what worked in that past. Currently I feel this is the best Dragon Ball ‘simulator’ on the market which is now joined by Dragon Ball FighterZ for the fighting game fans and is soon to be joined by Dragon Ball: Kakarot for the RPG fans. The scenarios were just as, if not more interesting, the character creation options were expanded upon and the gameplay was much tighter. From a decent character creation mode, an interesting original story and a bunch of ‘What-If?’ scenarios we were entering a new golden age of Dragon Ball games.ĭragon Ball Xenoverse 2 does exactly what the former did well but only adds onto a decent foundation. The release of the first Xenoverse is what totally changed this and presented a title that gave the fans exactly what they wanted for so long. The Playstation 2 era of Dragon Ball games gave us a number of enjoyable titles but I felt the Xbox 360 era was always struggling to match that same level. Like many of us in the UK who are into Anime, Dragon Ball was my entry into the world of Japanese animation and has remained a huge part of my life ever since.

The Xenoverse series of games have been a great addition to the Dragon Ball franchise at a time when the series has been given new life through the recent movies and a new TV show. AOT: Wings of Freedom is definitely one of my favorite recent Anime games and I would recommend it to any fan or anyone looking for a short but great time. While the game is slightly repetitive I never actually got bored of it, the maneuvering gear made me feel like I was playing Spiderman 2 again and just I was having a blast going as fast as I could while trying to take out Titans as fast as I can, it was immensely satisfying. Perhaps my favourite aspect of the game is the use of the ‘Vertical Maneuvering Gear’ which allows you to dart around the level at great speed while also giving you the chance for stronger attacks if you time your momentum just right. Fans of the show will know is the only real way to stop a Titan for good. Rather than following the typical DW style of having hundreds of enemies on screen at one time, the game makes sure you focus on one huge enemy and take them down via attacking their weak points. In terms of adapting the Anime this game does so really well, the story mode is just like the first season of the Anime which, while short is bolstered by enough side missions and tasks that would not feel out of place if they were presented in the show.
Koei Tecmo did an amazing job at tweaking the DW gameplay we’re familiar with just enough while still remaining faithful to both their core fans and new AOT fans.
However over time I finally gave the game a shot and I was blown away by it. I felt this was not like the Dynasty Warriors I already knew and wondered if it was just a cash grab due to the popularity of the show. However I was hesitant to try out this title at first because I really didn’t know how well the context of the show would translate to the gameplay of a typical Dynasty Warriors title.ĭynasty Warriors style games are known to have hundreds of enemies on screen at a time but here you would only have maybe 20 or so enemies’ tops. Now I’ve been a fan of the Dynasty Warriors Anime spin off games for a long time, specifically the Gundam series on the Xbox 360. So it was inevitable that we would soon start getting games based on the series and who better to take the reins than the team at Koei Tecmo? Attack on Titan is a series that has taken the world by storm in the last few years and has also been an entry point into anime for a number of people.
