   SOULCALIBUR® Lost Swords - From a Free-Player Perspective:

   TheySOULCALIBUR® Lost Swords - From a Free-Player Perspective:
   It functions similar to the average Mobile Game boasting micro-transactions.
   They make it easy for you to find/access the Shop at almost any time.
   These "micro"-transactions are quite overpriced.
   $20 for a set of random equipment, and $2 for more "energy" (AP) to keep playing the game (or wait a few hours for energy to naturally replenish) are just a couple examples.
   Nothing wrong with buying any of this but at those prices, it's just not for me.
   Fights are a bit one-sided, they want you to lose and buy "continue tickets" similar to an Arcade machine that would just love more Quarters, but at least Ring-Outs have been removed from the game.
   (I play as Taki, her style involves at lot of jumping around where I could accidentally Ring-Out myself by jumping at the wrong time, so the removal of Ring-Outs is appreciated considering the way quests work and the fact these continue tickets cost real money).
   
   That being said, you do get a log-in bonus each day where you can get items to increase energy (AP Potion), inventory (to store armor/weapons), and continue tickets for free.
   As well as daily missions that allow you to earn AP potions and continue tickets everyday.
   
   You level up each character you unlock individually, but you retain a persistent Ranking level.
   You start naked, but you are given 1 free rank A(Rare) weapon corresponding to the character you choose at the beginning.
   Enemies from quests can drop armor/weapons/etc. to equip to your character.
   "Quests" are comprised of multiple 1-on-1 fights where you get a single Health Bar throughout the length of the quest.
   Enemies have the ability to Soul Burst, which gives them an additional health bar and they usually become very aggressive.
   Soul Burst can be broken or will expire after a few seconds.
   The Player cannot Soul Burst but can summon a friend's fighter (Ally) to help briefly during a match.
   
   Events are being added that give S and A rank armor/weapons, before you would need to purchase a random weapon pack or get a lucky drop to attain such a weapon.
   Other events allow you to unlock different characters, and recently events were added that grant pieces of a character's original outfit (such as Nightmare's armor).
   
   Loading Times are still noticeably annoying.
   This game has to be connected online continuously to be able to play.
   Losing connection during a fight will forfeit your progress but you will still lose energy (AP) you spent to play that Quest.
   
   It isn't fair to compare this game to a console title from the Soul Calibur series.
   It recycles the same graphics/animations you've seen from Soul Calibur 4 & 5.
   This is a free game and worth playing if you like Soul Calibur (or fighting games in general) and have patience.
   The emphasis on money/transactions is because of the fact this is a Free Game, but remember its also a service that intends to make revenue like any other.
   I haven't purchased anything on this game yet but becoming Allies with other players and being part of the community helps support the game, at least a little bit, in my opinion.
   The additional events they added recently have inspired me to keep playing but I would much rather see a new-gen console title in the future.
   As for Lost Swords, all I can say is don't expect much, and hope it gets better.… Expand

   With Incredibly insulting content (lack there of) and a broken game engine (horrible loading times for the graphics it displays) and a generalWith Incredibly insulting content (lack there of) and a broken game engine (horrible loading times for the graphics it displays) and a general lack of soul, this game just gets a 1 out of 10. The only reason why it even gets a 1, and not a zero, is because it does somewhat, sometimes, feel like a game. I mean, at least it turns on.… Expand

This isn't a Soul Calibur game, I cannot call it that, it would be an insult to the actual game series. I don't even understand the concept of forced online single player, why would anyone do such a thing? If a nearly constant rotating hourglass is your thing then download this game.… Expand

   This game shall forever be a slap in the face for fans of the series. It's blatant cash cow with no shame what so ever. I have never in all myThis game shall forever be a slap in the face for fans of the series. It's blatant cash cow with no shame what so ever. I have never in all my life seen a DLC character costing 100$ to be unlocked, especially for this Free to play game. There is nothing new or innovative and it even dumbs down the fighting mechanics, such as removing ring outs. If you really miss old characters that got cut I swear you will have ten times more fun and less frustration to just play old games of the series.
   The loading times is enough for me to fold a week's worth of laundry while waiting to play and the constant errors is ridiculous. The costumes they release for you to buy is downright disgusting. I don't mind some sexy costumes/fanservice once in awhile but this is getting beyond pathetic. It's so obvious they're trying to pull horny teenagers into buying that they've even hired a hentai artist to design one of their latest outfit. The grace, depth and efforts of all the past games were thrown out the window and buried with this game. I laugh at whoever spends money on this game and when I uninstalled this piece of garbage, I never looked back. This game doesn't even deserve a 1/10. SC: Legends is better than this garbage and I never thought that could be possible.… Expand

   I don't always review games, but when I do, I review the 2014 game of the year! Of course I'm talking about Soulcalibur: Lost Swords. Let'sI don't always review games, but when I do, I review the 2014 game of the year! Of course I'm talking about Soulcalibur: Lost Swords. Let's talk about the equilibrium this game possesses: story, gameplay, and graphics. It also totally sold me on F2P games. Totally. The story had me tearing up. It's an epic shakespearean story that amounts to me and my friends having deep conversations about the meaning of life! Or why am I still playing this game. Can't recall which one. The story is told to incredible and innovative 4D graphics..not like they would ever use text to tell you whats happening. Nope. Gameplay is tight. Just what you'd expect from a Soulcalibur game. Not that they would use the same mechanics as Soulcalibur 5. Nope. Its graphics, let me tell you, are insane, almost PS4 quality..Not like they would ever use the same graphics as last game.. no sir.. I had to go to the optometrist to make sure I wasn't going crazy. The F2P element is done so well too. The store is cheap!.. only $19.99 for random equipment! A steal!! And that's just one of them. and OH MY GOD!! let me tell you about its NOW LOADING capabilities.. insane! I click on a button and it like goes back in time, its there!! its not like every single time I click ANYTHING a little clock symbol appears for like 10 secs.. and for fights, 30 secs.. and when I'm thinking of not playing this game, 5 seconds..or sometimes what it seems like an eternity. Oh and multiplayer, what an amazing..... wait.. it doesn't even have multiplayer?! The heck is this? I tell you what it is: A lazy cash-in to a popular series. It's an online-only single player fighting game. It loads more times than I care to remember. For the exception of when you're actually fighting, every single time you do anything, it loads. I'm not even going to mention the times I got kicked out of the server. Whatever story there is, is told through text, yes text. It boils down to read text, fight, get equipment, fight some more until you hit a point where it's necessary to either wait or literally buy more things that'll let you play it. The only good thing that I can say about this game is that I played 5 hours without having to pay to continue playing. 5 hours are more than enough to see that this game is worthless. Unless you like a repetitive, bugged down, yesteryear's fighting game.. you should use your time better, like playing Dark Souls 2. At least in that game when I died, it doesn't ask me to pay cash to keep playing. BTW F2P Dark Souls... worst game EVER..… Expand
