It retains the standard 4 button layout that the previous games championed, with X controlling horizontal attacks, Y for vertical attacks, B to kick your opponent and A to block. The gameplay mixes old and new ideas, creating a system that feels familiar yet modernised in equal regard. We’d also say V, but this version builds on that game when it comes to gameplay. Though it might not reach the heady heights of Soulcalibur 2, and let’s be honest, very few games ever will, it’s certainly a damn sight better than more recent offerings. The case could be made that it’s the best 3D fighter of the current generation, but it’s definitely a return to form for the series.
With 11 games in its 23 year history, VI included, the Soulcalibur series has been one of the linchpins of the entire fighting game genre, and Soulcalibur VI cements the franchise’s place amongst the greats. When Soulcalibur talks about itself as “A Tale of Souls And Swords, Eternally Retold”, it’s not kidding.
