Versus is where you can battle with friends over an Ad Hoc Connection. Quick Battle is where you can make your own custom battle against the AI. Along with this Soul Calibur IV’s Character Creation Mode is also featured in this game, allowing you to create a custom character with base combat styles from any other playable character.Īside from Character Creation, Broken Destiny features five gameplay modes: Quick Battle, Gauntlet, Trials, Versus, and Training. However, the Star Wars characters have been replaced in this game by Kratos from the God of War series and Dampierre, a new character that would go on to also be featured in Soul Calibur V. On the topic of Soul Calibur IV, Broken Destiny has every playable character from the game intact. It is identical to the gameplay found in Soul Calibur IV. Like the past games of the series, Broken Destiny is a fighting game with 3D visuals but a 2.5D perspective, showcasing 3D-rendered arenas and the ability to side-step around your opponent, providing a 3D feel to the gameplay. The way Story Mode plays out feels more repetitive on gameplay and light on story. If you play Soul Calibur for story, this isn’t one to impress. Shown in small text-based scenes, they are more small random scenes to throw you into the fights of Story Mode than anything else.

The story, itself, is nothing all that interesting. Even at the beginning of the game, you’re shown and told that this is not canon with the rest of the games and the personalities of the characters have been altered to be funnier. The story, itself, is much more light-hearted and comedy-heavy than the series is known for. The dialogue is all from other characters, since the story is the same no matter what character you use. In Broken Destiny, you play a role of a warrior coming down from the hillside and ends up on a various numbers of tournaments and quests involving other characters of the Soul Calibur universe, such as Cassandra and Hilde, aiding them on their own personal quest. The story of Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny is much different from that of its console counterpart, Soul Calibur IV. Here is my official review of Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny! Today, I bring you back to that genre in the form of my newest Retro Review. From Vita games like Injustice and Mortal Kombat to PSP games like Dissidia 012: Duodecim Final Fantasy, I’ve been all over the genre. Since I began reviews, I’ve been constantly looking for more fighting games to play and do coverage for. The PS Vita generation changed all of that. I played a few on my own, like BlazBlue Calamity Trigger Portable, but I never really got into a fighting game until the Dissidia series, which is arguably more RPG than fighter. Before the PS Vita generation, I never spent a whole lot of time with fighters. Fighting Games has always been a huge hobby of mine since starting this review site.
