The game contains many elements from the 2010 PC game Xenoverse Online and the 2010 arcade game Tenkaichi Heroes. Several in-game cutscenes are also OVA content exclusive to the game. It is the first fighting game to feature full 3D battles similar to the Budokai Tenkaichi video game series.
Battles are set in full 3D destructible environments. Fighters can traverse the levels free-roaming in very large spaces and can be fighting on a platform, go in the air, and fight underwater. They run when on the ground, and swim while underwater.
Xenoverse Tenkaichi has dialogue while fights go on, and fighters show facial expressions when they strike an opponent or take damage. In addition to the ever-present ki meter, there is a green stamina meter which can be used up to instantly disappear behind an opponent. This meter can also be used up by certain super attacks like the Kaio-ken.
The players have some freedom to explore the planet Earth as it exists in the Tenkaichi universe along with a handful of other locations, including a mysterious new city which is the point of origin for the game's new character.
