Soul Calibur for iOS has just been approved by Apple and will be released on the 19th of January. The publisher Namco Bandai, claims that the graphics will be on par with the 1999 Dreamcast version of Soul Calibur. While we’re sure that the graphics will be good, ports of classic games are easy to mess up. That’s because the virtual controls sometimes ruin the feel the game used to have on the console version. As soon as we have a pre-release copy we will be sure to inform you the state of the port and what you can expect. The game will work on any device with the 4.3 update currently installed.
Apparently there are 6 game modes which work hand in hand with the GameCenter leaderboard system.
Those modes are:
Arcade Battle
Appears to be a Campaign mode where you discover the story of characters and unlock new ones. It is probably just like the arcade version.
Time Attack
I assume that you select your character and then your opponents character and try to defeat him in the quickest time possible.
Has a Gamecenter leaderboard.
Survival
In this mode you compete in a endless tournament against many fighters. See how many enemies you can defeat before you inevitably die.
Has a GameCenter Leaderboard.
EXTRA Survival
Apparently this is also a survival mode but what distinguishs it between the other Survival mode is unknown. Has a Gamecenter Leaderboard
Museum
Museum is probably where you can check out all the characters you have unlocked and admire them.
Practice
In Practice mode you can obviously practice your moves and try to get insane combos going. Should be useful for beginners to the game.
Characters:
Kiriku, Shanfa, Maxi, Mitsurugi, Taki, Void, Sofita, Nightmare, Asutarosu, Ivy, Hwang Sung Kyung, Yoshimitsu, Lizardman, Siegfried, Rock, Sonmina, Cervantes de Leon and Edge Master will all be included in the game.
