![]() Mediocre controls and no multiplayer kill most of the value. My verdict: I'm glad I didn't actually spend money, while at the same time regretting the purchase. No multiplayer in this fighting game whatsoever. there isn't any! Yup, no local multiplayer, no online multiplayer. ![]() Unfortunately, most likely due to limited screen real estate, you can only have one macro button set. NamcoBandai seemed to have realized the issue and you can put a macro key in the options mode. To even perform a simple throw, I had to dedicate two fingers to the task. Simultaneous button presses are very difficult to perform, for me at least. There is one major (and I emphasize major) problem, though. However, the controls were very responsive and felt better to me than they do in Street Fighter 4 for iOS. Normally, I loathe touchscreen controls for games not designed for them. Despite the occassional slowdown, I was able to play the game and perform most combos with no problem. How does the game play? The good news is that it feels like Soul Calibur.

It's not terrible, but I wish NamcoBandai would have increased the size just a little bit.Ĭharacters are unlocked by repeated play throughs, just like the DC, and the game has some of the extras from the the DC: Exhibition and Battle Theater.

It looks like all the music and sound effects are there, and as was the case with the original there is only one language option. There isn't much to say on the sound department. I've noticed slowdown in some stages (most prevalent on Mitsurugi's stage), but it doesn't hurt gameplay much. Models are clean and sharp, and while the game doesn't run at 60fps it still looks pretty in motion. Let's get the superficial stuff out of the way. Luckily, I had an iTunes gift card left over from Christmas and made the plunge. It comes at a pretty hefty price of $11.99 (and that's with the game on sale). Well, January 19th is here and with it comes the original Soul Calibur for the iOS.
