Soul Edge is a 3D arcade fighting game and the first in the Soul series, it is one of the first 3D fighting game in history that place a particular emphasis on the story of the fighters. Each character have their own weapon, allowing for a wide range of play styles. The slower, longer ranged characters try to deliver their heavy blows from a distance whereas the quicker, faster characters try to get in as close as possible and deliver quick-hitting attacks.
Before you press start
The fighting matters more than the plot, so you can start anywhere. VI is the easiest way in, since it retells the early story. Legends is a Wii action spin-off, and Lost Swords ended service in 2015.
More than the main path
Weapons give every fighter a distinct range and rhythm, and eight-way movement makes sidestepping as vital as blocking. A deep character creator has become a series habit, as has a roster that mixes staples such as Mitsurugi with guests.
