Mission Mode is made up of multiple chapters, each with story and fighting elements, both required and optional, and your first several missions act as the game’s tutorial. Defeating them will let you obtain power from the fissure and let you continue to live as well as resist Astral Chaos’s attempts to devour your soul. However, when someone powerful enough approaches one, a powerful being known as a berserker will approach. You’re told that to extend your life you must seek out astral fissures, massive amounts of force that will either destroy anyone weak enough who encounters them or turn them into a being known as a malfested. After creating your character the story begins proper with a character named Zasalamel basically explaining how a great evil known as the Evil Seed has altered your soul, linking it with the Astral Chaos, a realm of great power that will eventually consume your soul and kill you. Mission mode is essentially a story mode for a character that you create.
The game actually recommends starting with Mission Mode since it contains the game’s tutorial. You can also get used to the different arena types as several times throughout the game you might be in an arena with something like wet ground or on a ship during a storm where it can be pretty easy to accidentally slip out of the ring and lose the round, speaking from experience. Since each fighter uses a different type of weapon, this is a good chance to practice with the different fighters to see which fighting style and weapon works for you. Battle Mode is where you can take on eight CPU opponents one after the other in Arcade Mode, fight against a friend locally in Versus Mode, or you can head into Training to work on your skills against a dummy opponent. Soul Calibur VI features a few different game modes you can play through. When the Soul Meter is filled to at least one level, you can activate a Soul Charge to give you the ability to pull off special Soul Charge moves for a limited amount of time, or a Critical Edge attack to deal a lot of damage to your opponent. You also have a Soul Meter that will fill up as you attack your opponent. These three attacks work similar to rock-paper-scissors and whoever chose the stronger attack will deal an additional attack to your opponent.
If this attack hits, the game goes into a slow-motion segment where you and your opponent will each choose one of three attacks. Besides the usual mechanics such as the different basic attacks and eight-way running, new to Soul Calibur VI is the Reversal Edge mechanic which lets you guard against an oncoming enemy attack and follow up with quick attack. Much like the previous games in the series, Soul Calibur VI is a one-on-one weapons-based fighting game with each fighter using a certain type of weapon, this time taking place in the late 16 th century. Then again, what better time than the present to see just how good I can get. While I have played some Soul Calibur in the past, I’ve never had the chance to spend any significant amount of time with it. However, here we are with Soul Calibur VI, the latest entry in the franchise that started back in 1995. For some reason I just never got the hang of games like Tekken and Virtua Fighter and tend to get tossed around by anyone I go up against.
While there are some 2D fighters that I’m not that well versed in, 3D fighters are even worse for me. I’m more or less a fan of some 2D fighting games such as Street Fighter, Marvel vs. To say that I’m a fan of fighting games is both true and a stretch.
