DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE
Moderate overall intensityWhat's in it
The plot turns on villains altering history to erase people from existence and named heroes being struck down in battle, all kept in the series' stylized, action-driven tone.
The player fights humanoid and alien characters with punches, kicks and energy blasts in fast anime-style combat; hits produce flashes, knockback and torn clothing but no blood pools, wounds or dismemberment.
Occasional mild profanity such as 'damn' and 'hell' in spoken and written dialogue.

What it is
Dragon Ball Xenoverse is an action role-playing fighting game in which you create a custom character who is recruited to travel back through the Dragon Ball timeline and set right battles that villains have altered. Play is built around fast anime martial-arts combat — melee combos, flight, and screen-filling energy blasts — fought solo through a story mode and cooperatively or competitively online. Combat is stylized with impact flashes and only minor blood, and the plot deals with death and the threat of characters being erased from history, treated in the series' light, reversible tone. Dialogue carries occasional mild profanity. There is no sexual content, nudity, substance use, or gambling, and the version described here has no in-app purchases.
How it's framed
The game frames the player as a guardian of history restoring the correct timeline against villains who manipulate events; violence is the central mechanic and is presented as heroic combat against threats, while the deaths woven through the retold sagas are plot beats rather than dwelt-upon tragedy.
