You use the character creation tools to make your own fighter, which we’ll get into in a little bit, before starting your own adventure in the world. We certainly won’t say no to playing more Soulcalibur VI.Īt the other end of the spectrum, you have the Libra of Soul Mode, which looks like it could have the potential to keep players coming back for a long time. That being said, it seems that each character’s story is more involved and in depth than Tekken 7’s “here’s a single fight and then an ending”, so at least that means there’s more good quality content here. Perhaps that’s where Tekken 7 has the edge, because you can’t beat the sight of two men kicking the snot out of each other in the middle of a volcano.

Meanwhile, the character stories focus on each fighter’s individual motivations.Įach conversation and cutscene between fights is represented by artwork that’s absolutely lovely, though it would have been nice to see more 3D animated cutscenes than we did in our brief time with the game. Here, you have the game’s main storyline, which focuses on the fight to destroy Soul Edge from multiple perspectives. Soulcalibur VI feels like a return to those days, and we couldn’t be more thrilled.įirst up is the Soul Chronicles mode, which feels like an improved version of Tekken 7’s Story Mode. The Soulcalibur games of old always brought out the big guns when it came to additional content, with SC 1 and 2 bringing the legendary Weapon Master Mode, while Soulcalibur 3 introduced the world to the frankly underrated Chronicles of the Sword mode. The gameplay is second to none, providing that fast-paced yet strategic weapon-based fighting we’ve always loved for the 20+ years that the series has been around, but with our latest session, it looks clear that some of Soulcalibur VI’s biggest highlights and attractions will be its single-player modes and content. In fact, is it October 19th yet? We’ve got plans to play this game until the end of time.

If you hadn’t guessed, we’re pretty gosh darned excited, and every time we get hands on with it, that excitement builds and builds. We’ve spoken at length here at Cultured Vultures about how excited we are for Soulcalibur VI.
