Remember how much I praised Tekken 7‘s edit mode last year? This editor mode makes Tekken’s look shallow. But there’s one other mode in Soul Calibur VI that steals the show: character creation. The gameplay is great and the online multiplayer is solid and glitch-free for the most part. The main new addition this time around is the Reversal Edge mechanic, a brand new (and flashy) way to block oncoming enemy strikes while also attacking them at the same time. Playing as Raphael (my main) felt as fluid and borderline OP as it used to be back when I was playing Soul Calibur II on my Gamecube in 4th grade. It might be weird to think that the gameplay from this 2018 Soul Calibur game isn’t very different from the original 1999 Dreamcast title, but that just goes to show how perfectly ahead of its time that game’s fighting mechanics were.
Soul calibur vi story series#
The series has always been known for an easy to learn, but hard to master combat system, and it’s mostly the same this time around. Thankfully, while those are some annoying flaws, Soul Calibur VI is still fantastic where it matters the most: the gameplay. The Libra of Souls mode is basically Weapon Master with 500% more filler.
Soul calibur vi story Ps4#
Those issues aren’t present in the PC and PS4 versions however, and I can only assume the Xbox One X version doesn’t suffer from those technical hindrances. Aside from the not-so-impressive visuals, I’ve detected some occasional but annoying framerate hiccups, as well as unbelievably long loading times, sometimes almost reaching an entire minute. I’ve noticed that the base Xbox One version is the least polished of them all. Soul Calibur has always been a hardware-defying series, but the sixth game in the series isn’t a looker like other polygonal fighting games from this generation, namely Mortal Kombat X. The soundtrack is good but far from epic as it used to be and the voice acting is hit-or-miss, although Geralt’s voice actor does a phenomenal job as always. The narrator is much less enthusiastic than in other versions. Remember Soul Calibur II‘s jaw-dropping FMV intro, followed by an epic echoed narrator shouting, “SOOOOUL CALIBUUUUR!” like the Mandarin says, “You’ll never see me coming.” in Iron Man 3? Well, you don’t get it again. It should have been a poignant finale moment of comraderie and such.The first thing I noticed when I started playing Soul Calibur VI is that its presentation was quite subpar when compared to older titles in the franchise. You finding Groh who has already cleared an astral gate for you and facing him one last time.
I eventually got the last actual story mission with After a wholly consistent story with internally sound aesthetics and styles, I managed to face-among others:Ģ-A guy made to look like the great mighty poo from conkers bad fur dayģ-Some sort of weird hentai looking chick with wings that fought in voldo's style These are player made characters, pulled straight from the internet." Then the battle opened up and I was SHOCKED to my core to be facing a naked Thanos in a rainbow bikini thong and heart stickers. So I went to one and just hit go without paying too much attention.
This is a nice post game way for the legend to live on, as it were.
So I beat libra of souls and got to the epilogue, whereupon I now have the option of astral gate closure missions. Can't speak highly enough about this game so far. Really felt reminiscent of the story mode from SC2 with a lot of nice changes. I finished that up and moved on to Libra of Souls. I know some people here have complained they don't like the portrait artistry but I think its the bees knees and I really loved how they've brought the old stories into a new light. I did the whole character story modes and thought it was beautiful. Easily the best fighting game I have ever purchased. I got soul calibur VI like a week ago and am incredibly happy with it.
