Jan. 2025

I love this game, but as it is now it's very dead. Soul Calibur is a series that holds a lot of meaning for me, so I'm naturally biased for it. I was the kind of person who enjoyed SCV when a lot of fans didn't. Guess I didn't care as much that a lot of the cast was swapped out. IDK. SCVI is a reboot of the series. Going back to the core of each character you've come to know and love and reestablishing them as something potentially new, or familiar and revised. Either way, I'm a big fan of how true to form characters like Siegfried are, while others like Hwang got a complete makeover and became something new entirely (in a very good way. Dyde looks like a bloodborne hunter). If you're here to pick up your old main stay, they're here, and they feel as familiar as ever, with some tweaks. The biggest change is the meter, which allows for you to either activate supers, or an install that powers you up, and unlocks new combos. Controls are incredibly newcomer friendly, with a lot of things like reversal edge, soul gauge abilities, and so on being set to singular buttons. I usually play fighting games on stick, but Soul Calibur always felt at home on my controller. There's lots of single player content, something that the series had been missing for a while. Not only do you have classic arcade mode, but a single player story for all characters, showing you where they are on the timeline, and a "custom character" story called "Libra of Souls", where you make a custom character and play a unique story. Now, the actual story segments are told in a very visual novel style manner. A bit of a bummer, but expected seeing as it's obvious that Bamco didn't have enough faith in SCVI to give it the budget it deserves. I'm sure if they did, we'd expect to see something along the lines of Tekken production values. Alas, that is not the case. This lack of budget clearly hit the rest of the game hard, as anything that isn't a new asset is just ripped from Soul Calibur V, and naturally any jank that had carried over as well. I love this game. I really do. I could play it off and on forever. It makes me sad that the franchise is basically dead and buried at this point, as I have no love for Tekken, and therefore no where else to get the same thrill. If you love the series, you should play SCVI. Online scene is basically dead and gone, but the single player will keep you busy for a while.

Bandai Namco needs to revive this franchise since fighting games such as Tekken 8 and Street Fighter 6 are getting so much interest from new gamers.

Nov. 2024

SOULCALIBUR VI Key Elements: - Refined 3D weapons-based combat - Innovative Reversal Edge system - Dual story modes: Libra of Souls and Soul Chronicle - Extensive character creation - Geralt of Rivia as perfect guest character Standout Features: The combat system balances accessibility with depth perfectly. Character creation offers unprecedented customization, while the story modes provide dozens of hours of engaging content.

If you are not a hardcore fan but remembered you had fun when you played previous SoulCalibur games, you will enjoy this one. They have about four games modes that made it nice to change it up from time to time. I used a controller for old times sake and had fun getting all the achievements. Gameplay/Map-Stages/Music : This is your basic 1v1 fighting game they still keep it pretty simple and fun. Your fighter has their unique fighting style with a different weapon, unless you create one (more about that later). You can go into a Soul Charge mode for a short time witch adds some extra to your attacks depending on the character. Only 12 stages which are all very well designed but dull with player interaction. Some allow you to fall off of them for a ring out. Music blends in nothing special would have been nice to have a song that makes a mark in the memory. Characters/Customization/Modes : You have 21 base characters that get bumped up to 29 if you get some of the DLC's. The customization is very good and with lots of slots you can create a small army of different looking warriors if you wanted to. I've fought against characters online that looked like Shrek, Char and a guy who works at a 7 Eleven. Cant create your own fighting style unfortunately. You can play in Libra of Soul mode which allows you to create your own character and play through his/her own story choices effecting good/evil scale which changes your story ending. (Evil one was a better ending). Soul Chronicle mode which allows you to catch up with just about every base characters back story. Arcade mode where you fight about 8 characters. Online play where you create/join groups where you will play other fighters. Very good pick up, I was happy that this didn't ruin the franchise. They made a fun game and really can make something even better.

I do not ever review games. But I will here, BUY IT. I have Tekken, I have DOA, I play them and love them. BUT THIS GAME IS SUPERIOR in all the ways. Movement, combat, ease. When I want to play arcade fighters with a person who never plays them, I will smash in DOA and Tekken. This game allows for new players to enjoy themselves visually and theatrically. GREAT GAME. Only fighter that deserves my time, BECAUSE the rest of you need to know, YOU NEED THIS GAME. Come play and suck with me <3
