The 20 character roster is plenty, although may feel a bit short when compared to Mortal Kombat X and Dragon Ball FighterZ, both coming in with more than 30 fighters in their current rosters. The story in Libra of Souls does not reach the same quality that Soul Chronicle does, and feels like a very structured tutorial at the beginning but it gets more interesting as you get into it. Even having played a lot of Soulcalibur IV and V I found myself learning new and effective ways to play the game through the Libra of Souls mode. This comes complete with character and weapon upgrades, and serves to really introduce a new player to the mechanics or to shine a light on some under used mechanics to a veteran player. This is by no means a remake however, and the Libra of Souls story mode that allows you to play your own custom character through a parallel but unique story to Soul Chronicle proves that. If you are relatively new to the series like me then you will get to experience the building blocks of the franchise for the first time. It is a different take on the original Soulcalibur story, so fans who have been around from the beginning will get something different out of it. Each one contributes to the overall tale in a unique way and you can only get the full picture by playing through it with everyone available. You play through the story through the eyes of each of the main playable characters. Soul Chronicle is the standard story mode that you would expect from a Soulcalibur game. The story mode in Soulcalibur VI really makes it stand out, with two separate but incredibly fulfilling ways to play. Again, the unique combat style and the character roster made Soulcalibur something special, and Soulcalibur VI is no different. Soulcalibur V fell a bit short of the mark for me, but still held its own among the competition. I was immediately grabbed by the diverse character roster and the unique, weapons based combat that the game presented. I am admittedly not the most well versed in the lore of the Soulcalibur series, with Soulcalibur IV being the first I played back on the Xbox 360.
