SoulCalibur IV
You can’t talk about SoulCalibur IV without mentioning how crazy its guest characters are, adding in the likes of Yoda, Darth Vader, and Starkiller from Star Wars. Tonally it might be a bit strange, but the guest characters were an absolute blast to play, outside of some balancing issues.
Being the first game in the series on Xbox 360 and PS3, the game received a huge graphical overhaul from SoulCalibur III, and to this day it’s still a good looking game.
For the very first time in the series, SCIV featured online multiplayer, easily letting you take the fight against other players. It also introduced a new Critical Finish system letting you unleash massive attacks against an enemy if you deplete their Soul Gauge.
In the Story and Tower of Lost Souls modes, the game also used something called Active Matching Battle, allowing you to swap between multiple characters in one battle.
SoulCalibur IV was stuffed to the brim with content, and it was the first entry in the series that really made strides into becoming more accessible.
