Meu jogo de luta favorito! Queria muito pra versão pc! Muita nostalgia! É um jogo muito bom de luta que tem uma intro maravilhosa! Eu recomendo muito pra quem nunca jogou jogar! * - *
The original entry in the finest weapon based fighting game franchise I ever played!!! Depending on regions it's either called Soul Edge or Soul Blade. I grew up with the PS1 port myself. A few years before the critical acclaimed SoulCalibur 1 came out. It's virtually a more distant past Virtua Fighter. A rather interesting roster of characters that notably differ in the game play. Not to mention Edge Master mode to test your skills among many surprises.
Okay, seriously. For those who remember this game? Please give it your vote. Just do it. It was the game that set the foundation for what would become SoulCalibur - this is what started it off! If you care for the history of that franchise, this *needs* your votes - hell, all the SoulCalibur games need your votes, but this one particularly for the legacy of what it is.
And if you never played it? Have no memories of it? Watch that opening cutscene. Just watch it. Listen to it. Then come back here. If that is not 10/10 for hype and setting the stage for this tale of souls and swords eternally retold? I'll leave it up to you if you vote, because it probably isn't for you at that point. But if that opening sold you? GIve it your vote.
That opening sequence is what got me playing for years, even when Weapon Master Mode was making me rage so hard at finally completing the last of the challenges it had left to complete - but I would do it all again to relive the sheer fun I had playing this game, learning it, understanding it and enjoying it. This is one of the family all-time hits along with other NAMCO aces of the time (Tekken 3 among those for sure).
