SOULCALIBUR VI REVERSAL EDGE SERIES

Bayonetta 3 review: The catwalk stumble of the series.

Though if plot and lore aren’t quite your thing, the traditional arcade ladder is also available for your playing pleasure. This mode contains mini-campaigns for each character in the game to give them each more of an origin story and to set the reboot further in motion. Thankfully, Soul Chronicle is much more on the lighter side. While it can be entertaining at times, Libra ends up getting too long in the tooth, and more of a grind get the unlockable boss Inferno rather than a fun and engaging story mode. Libra of Soul takes your own created character through a light, RPG-like quest. It features two different story modes, each recounting events from the first Soulcalibur game and acts as a soft reboot for the series. Soulcalibur VI also offers plenty of other experiences aside from its combat. The traditional three-out-of-five sets can be absolutely exhilarating at times, especially if they come down to the final blow or a well-timed reversal.

It certainly has an entertaining ceiling for high-level play, but can also be enjoyed by more casual button-mashers. While it can be entertaining at times, Libra ends up getting too long in the tooth… It’s an occasionally cheap, but effective means of clawing back into a fight with an opponent barreling down your defenses. If hit, it initiates a rock-paper-scissors clash that can really turn the tide of any given match. Reversal Edge is a new mechanic that can act as a counter and an attack. Of course, there are a few wrinkles thrown in to keep things interesting. It’s more than enough for veterans to feel right at home, especially since some move sets weren’t changed all that much from previous iterations. Pick from any of the 22 available base roster fighters and get medieval on an opponent using vertical, horizontal and special attacks along with the aforementioned movement system. Gameplay is fairly straightforward in Soulcalibur. Not only have they done just that, but the overall package and refreshing gameplay are some of the best that the series has had in quite some time. Given the gap between games, it’s a chance for Project Soul and Bandai Namco to start fresh with its original fighting game saga.

Now, six years later, we have Soulcalibur VI.

However, the series’ fifth was met with less fervor from the series’ rabid fan base, and sales were down compared to the fourth. They thrived particularly on the concept of guest characters, whether they came from other games, comics and even Star Wars. The series went on to break new ground in its sequels as well. It was certainly an improvement over predecessor Soul Edge, but no one could have predicted the type of influence it would have going forward. The 1999 game’s biggest innovation, for instance, was in introducing the eight-way movement system that became a standard throughout 3D fighters in the near-two decades since. However, Namco and Project Soul’s original Soulcalibur went on to change things forever. While 3D competitors such as Sega’s Virtua Fighter titles and its own sister Tekken franchise were on the market. It’s difficult to understate how important the Soul series of fighters became to the genre.
