"High divorce rate. Anime. Hipsters. Panty shots," says Soul Calibur's Zasalamel, the large scythe-wielding warrior. "I am busy searching the future." Nonsensical yet humorous, Zasalamel's dialogue exemplifies a shift in Soul Calibur's ambiguous and convoluted story -- a change that breaks the franchise's protracted, austere plotlines about the fight between good and evil, vendettas, mysterious powerful swords, and love triangles. Soul Calibur Broken Destiny's lighthearted and often entertaining dialogue is, honestly, just one of the many excellent changes brought to the series by Namco Bandai. Whether you're a fan or a newcomer, those changes will be refreshing.A weapon-based fighter, Soul Calibur Broken Destiny's main strengths are its accessibility and, at the same time, its depth. The series' emphasis on close-range combat and high, mid, and low attacks empowers neophytes to overcome the game's learning curve. Even if you aren't fully aware of your actions, the combat basics provide immediate satisfaction. And for those willing to improve their skills, "The Gauntlet," a rewarding and helpful tutorial mode, is a highly enjoyable way to learn new skills and strategies.
