Even if you’re a veteran of 3D fighting games it is still worth investing time in training, due to the different types of special moves you will learn that are unique to the Soulcaibur series. In it you will learn the basics of movement, different attacks and combo potential.You will learn about blocking, throwing your opponent as well as dodging attacks.All of these will help you react better generally in a fight if mastered. Completing his various training techniques will put you in good stead to tackle the sprawling Libra of Souls quest that awaits you. The other option is to head for the yellow icon, which is Drona’s Dojo, and it is highly recommended you do this straightaway before continuing the main story.Īt Drona’s Dojo, you will meet Drona who will show you the ropes of combat in Soulcalibur VI, by way of a training mode, interspersed with dialogue. You can either continue the main story quest (highlighted by a red circle) or indulge in side-quests as they become unlocked (blue circles). Once you’ve witnessed a brief story section, you’ll come face to face with the map screen, where you can move from mission to mission during Libra of Souls. Once you’ve chosen, the last thing you need to do, is choose your name for the adventure and begin. So this is really just choosing which weapon you wish to start Libra of Souls with. You can chop and change weapons as you find them in game (more later), and switch up what style you are using. The second point to just be aware of is that this isn’t permanent. So if you were to choose, for example, the 2x Longsword option, those weapons belong to Geralt, and so your move-list will be identical to Geralt’s in the game. Firstly that you’re not just selecting a weapon here, but also a preset character fighting style that goes along with it. It’s worth noting a couple of things at this point. With that complete, you move onto selecting your weapon. You can choose from a wide array of different face models, hairstyle and colours, you can tweak the design of your character’s eyebrows and eye colour if you so wish, amend their voice to perfect that warrior’s call, and even give your character extra features such as horns. Once those general selections have been made, you then can get into the customisation of your character proper, with a wide range of attributes that you can alter to create a protagonaist to be proud of. Once you’ve chosen a race, you can also choose your gender and build of your character. You begin by selecting a race from a selection of 16 (see above picture) ranging from humans, to the undead, to cyborgs, to even the malfested – the game’s evil incarnations made by the corrupted Evil Seed. The main difference between this single-player campaign and other modes is that in Libra of Souls, you can create a unique character to play as throughout, rather than one of the pre-made characters on the roster. It’s a fairly meaty portion of the game, and can seem daunting at first, but we’ve got you covered with our beginner’s guide that will have you mastering what’s going on in no time. In it you can create your own character and are taken through a journey exploring the world uncovering the mysteries of the Evil Seed and it’s accompanying Astral Fissures, which are causing havoc. When you fancy a change of pace from Soulcalibur VI‘s Arcade Mode, chances are you’ll spend a fair amount of time in its other main single-player campaign, the Libra of Souls.
