One other detail I read about (but wasn’t versed enough in the series to know otherwise) is that you’re no longer penalized on your meter when you sustain impact while guarding.Ĭontrols are responsive and welcoming to newcomers, inviting both button mashers and tacticians alike. I appreciate the dedicated block button as opposed to having players press back or ‘away’ to initiate a block, too. The interesting blend of different weapons and fighting styles and eight-way directional movement with sweeping horizontal and vertical attacks is a treat to watch and play. From the regal soundtrack and narrator to the art design and animations, it’s comfortable, familiar territory. Having played every game in the franchise at least a little bit, SCVI feels comfortably familiar right away. While I’ve never come close to mastering SC, I have always favored Kilik and his bo-staff fighting style. Headlining some of the changes to this iteration are three all new fighters, a deep character creation tool, two new in-battle mechanics, oh, and the game was developed on the Unreal Engine for the first time. Accessible and flashy enough for newcomers, yet nostalgia-primed and nuanced enough for longtime fans, SCVI strikes a potent balance.
With Soulcalibur VI ( SCVI), Project Soul and Bandai Namco have done an excellent job of making a strong appeal to both veterans and newcomers alike. Trying to maintain or reign back in long time fans is never a bad decision, but you also want to be able to appeal to newcomers, especially with six years and a console generation having passed since your last outing. Few fighting game franchises seem to carry as much nostalgia as this one.
