In all those years that I have been playing this franchise I really appreciated the gameplay difference, Soul Calibur just plays and feels different than any other game in the genre, and I’m glad that after six years Bandai Namco finally released a new one! I’m not an idiot and I know that other fighters have this learning curve too but more so in Soul Calibur. Another reason why you have to learn to position yourself are the ring outs, nothing more heartbreaking than falling from the stage with 80% health.

Especially your position on the stage field is extremely important, each character has his own reach, knowing when you OR the opponent can start a combo is a learning curve. Accessible and fun gameplay: The main difference between Soul Calibur and other fighters like for example Killer Instinct or Street Fighter is the weapon-based fighting -system.A more original mode called Libra of Souls is where you’ll spend most of your time, for starters the nice touch is that you’ll play with a self made character You have a typical story mode with a main story and each character has a few extra chapters. Two big single player modes: It is becoming a rare thing but Soul Calibur VI features two big single player modes that gives the players lots of content.Losing a Reversal Edge can be infuriating in an online round or against a friend but at the same time really entertaining too! When you start Reversal Edge you go into a cinematic slow motion stance, I won’t deny that luck is required but the mental stuff behind this feature is a lot bigger than you would originally think. Reversal Edge: Who would have thought that adding a rock paper scissors element in a competitive fighting game would be fun? Others, think about Injustice, have a similar thing but Reversal Edge is really well designed and each character has some small nuances with this feature.

We had to wait a staggering six years for a new Soul Calibur game, the question that’s left: Is it good enough against all the big other fighting games? Let us find out in this review! Who doesn’t like to play some rounds against a friend in a good old fighting game? I always had an intriguing weakness for the Soul Calibur franchise, some beloved characters and the battle between good and bad that manifest itself in weapons is pretty alluring for me.
