Namco Bandai is getting set to release the next iteration of its popular Soul Calibur series with Soul Calibur V later this month, and what better way to celebrate the game’s upcoming release than to release one of the most influential console and arcade fighting games, Soul Calibur, onto iOS. I honestly can’t think of a better way unless we’re counting watching a woman dressed up as Ivy grabbing her ankles. Bent over Ivy trumps everything.
Soul Calibur for iOS is quite the gaming beast as all 19 characters from the original game have been included and everything has been HD-ified to take advantage of the Retina display, but the iPad 2 is where its at in order to take in all of the gorgeousness that’s included in this game. The game includes six game modes to play across including Arcade Battle, Time Attack, and Survival mode. Namco Bandai plans to offer additional game modes in future updates, although I can’t imagine what else they can pack into this game outside of the six game modes. Well, now that I think about it, an online multiplayer mode would be a delicious treat.
At this point, the game is “on sale” for $11.99, which means if you act later than sooner, you could end up spending $14.99 for this game once the introductory price ends. If you’re a big fan of Soul Calibur and are impatiently waiting for Soul Calibur V, then you’re going to want to pick up this game to help keep you busy until January 31st.
