Instead, make way for Natsu and Leixia who take on their predecessors’ weapons and move sets. If you’re a long time fan of the series, you’ll also be disappointed to hear that some established characters are now gone. The Arcade and Quick Battle modes offer everything you’d expect from a 1v1 fighter, and the gameplay itself is fluid, but hasn’t changed a great deal since Soul Calibur in 1998.
Although without Soul Calibur III’s Chronicles of the Sword Mode, the characters you create don’t really serve a purpose in the game. Other than Story Mode, the Create A Soul Mode continues to go from strength to strength since its inception in Soul Calibur III. Later in the storyline there are different characters and weapons to play as, but it’ll be a while before you get there. Their mother Sophitia fought with a sword and shield so it makes sense, but it doesn’t make up for the lack of variety. That’s like having just two teams to choose from on FIFA, but both are Bolton Wanderers. You might be looking forward to a change in character, but you’re in for a nasty surprise as she wields almost the same weapon as her brother. As the story progresses, the player sometimes takes control of Patroklos’s sister, Pyhrra. The player finds themselves being thrust into the game, playing as an unfamiliar character, which is like getting to the front line in a war, and being given a gun for the very first time. On that game, there is a witty remark on a newspaper which reads: ‘Study shows that 90% of video games start with easy tutorial level.’ Well, Soul Calibur V is part of the 10% that don’t. Lately, I have been playing The Simpsons Hit & Run.
If the game designers are going to force the player to play as a certain character, then there should be some kind of selection process of their weapon and move set. No gravy, mushy peas or curry sauce just plain old fish and chips, or sword and shield. But just like a fish and chip shop in London, it lacks choice. Now, the awkwardly named protagonist unfortunately wields a sword and shield which is fine if you’re one of those people who likes such a move set. The main innovation this time around is the all-new Story Mode, which sees the player take control of a new character, Patroklos son of series veteran Sophitia Alexandra. The standard Arcade, Practice and VS style modes are all present as you would expect from a fighting game as well as a Character Creation Mode. Innovation has always kept the series fresh and interesting, but does the fifth installment continue this tradition? Gameplay Not unlike Namco’s other fighting series, Tekken Soul Calibur has stood the test of time and is still a popular franchise today. The Soul series has been running for a long time, since 1996 in fact.
