SoulCalibur V
SoulCalibur V made big changes to the story and roster of the series, and not all of these were received well by fans. The game is set in the future of the series’ timeline 17 years after IV, and focuses on the children of Sophitia.
A few of the iconic characters from past games were removed including Talim, Zasalamel, Taki, Seong Mi-na, and Yun Seong. In their place, a host of new characters and successors were introduced, but unfortunately very few of them felt well-developed.
SCV once again includes a guest character, Ezio Auditore from the Assassin’s Creed franchise.
Gameplay-wise SCV remained pretty much the same as SCIV, although it does introduce a tweaked Critical Edge system that lets player fill up a gauge and unleash devastating attacks.
Like most SoulCalibur games there’s a wealth of things to do including a host of different multiplayer modes, arcade mode, quick matches, and character creation.
Sadly, the part of SoulCalibur V that really sticks out as lackluster is its story, which ends up just feeling half-baked in the end.
