Release Date: September 25, 2015
An old-school fighting game, taking place in the Saint Seiya universe, known for its popular manga and TV series. The video game series was developed by Bandai Namco ever since the series' creation in 2006. The title stands out from other fighting games with its complex story, which focuses around the conflict between Knights of the Zodiac and Golden Saints.
Saint Seiya: Soldiers’ Soul for PC, PS4 and PS3 is a classic fighting game taking place in the Saint Seiya universe, a popular manga and anime created in 1986. The series received a number of entries, but each one is rather oriented towards the fun-factor and dynamics. Since the first installment, the series is in the hands of Bandai Namco.
The game has a surprisingly complex storyline for its genre. The plotline focuses on Knights of the Zodiac, and their unending struggle against Golden Saints. The protagonist – Seiya – has to once again stand in defense of goddess Athena, but this time he will have to face much stronger opponents – the resurrected antagonists from previous installments, wearing legendary armors that endow them with god-like powers. Our hero, along with his companions, has to face them. Soldiers’ Soul story is based on one of the seasons of the TV show.
The players can choose from over 50 different fighters, known to every Saint Seiya fan. Each of the contenders has his own set of spectacular moves, however the characteristic thing that connect them all is the incredible speed – individual moves, dodges, and attacks are performed with incredible speed, and to fully master the whole system, the player has to possess not only serious dexterity, but also build a considerable skill. The feeling of extraordinary speed is further complemented by the visuals – the PC version, for example, runs in native 1080p at 60 frames per second. Furthermore – because of all details, effects, textures, and camera shots – the player is subjected to constant motion during the fights.

Game Ratings for Saint Seiya: Soldiers' Soul Video Game.
CGMagazine: 7.5 / 10 by Jordan Biordi
Saint Seiya is also an extremely fun fighter that mixes up the standard formula of the arcade fighter.
ZTGD: 5.5 / 10 by Drew Leachman
In the end, Saint Seiya: Soldier's Soul is really for the fans of the series. Fighting game players may get some out of it, but only if these arena-based games are your forte. I know a lot of people love them, and I have seen many great fights that take a lot of skill to pull off. There is some strategy involved. There are tons to unlock and a decent amount of story to go through, but really this caters more to the hardcore fan base and even then, while it is enjoyable in some aspects, there are some rough things in it. The AI is bad at times, and the online can be laggy.

That is probably the biggest rub, however. I really would have enjoyed combat with more depth to it than this. Saint Seiya: Soldiers' Soul is a great way to learn about or remember the anime, and a variety of modes and collectibles add mileage to the game. At the end of the day however, it is also meant to be a fighting game, and the combat is simply too bland to really get the most out of the experience.
