Soulcalibur VI – Gamivo Deal of The Day

No better way to celebrate the weekend than with a great dose of one of most beloved and respected fighting games series of all time. This time challenge your friends or online opponents in sixth part of Soulcalibur series.
Once again fully created and published by Namco Bandai – a long time player in gaming industry. Publishers of Dark Souls games, upcoming newest iteration of Dragon Ball – Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot or another fighting game – Tekken 7. We recommend all of these games naturally.

The setting and story of Soulcalibur VI

Before we jump right into the mechanics and all playable features we need to tell a bit about the story and the atmosphere of Soulcalibur VI – which is without a doubt – unique and distinctive comparing to the other games. Set in an alternative version of the Renaissance, including characters from all over the world with their own historically accurate style.
The main plot is settled around two magical, powerful, ancient and intelligent swords. Demonic, damned, and forged in hell Soul Edge and it’s contradictor – holy, enhanced with the power of good gods – titular Soul Calibur. Games continues the plot from Soulcalibur V and as well serves as a reboot of the first Soulcalibur game.
Players are offered two different campaigns, two different stories in two different game modes. Soul Chronicle is the main plot, told as an interactive visual novel with fully controllable fights with predetermined characters
Second mode is called Libra of Soul where we are able to control fully customized protagonist in the series of exciting and two-sided events.

Good ol’ Soulcalibur

The basics of the game didn’t change at all. We choose one hero to be our representative (out of 21 possible in base game) and we try to defeat our enemy. Fully 3D gameplay and “Ring Out” option which allows to knock out our opponents out of the arena, create another layer of strategy to the fighting games. We need to take into consideration our current positioning and rotate carefully as we are also vulnerable to the knock outs.
Each character distinct from other by their equipment and preferable weapon. Some of them has better range but slower attack speed. Some are better in defensive stances and others find a better use in aggressive playstyles. Everyone will find its place and all of the options are equally balanced.
There is naturally a Guard Impact move which can turn round our defensive position into attacking one and change the whole course of the events.

We can’t forget about a sweet addition of a Witcher in the characters pool. As he gained a little bit of fame recently, there is a great option to try him out in a fighting game- a totally different environment than RPG or card games.
