This gives defensive players a way to avoid a Critical Finish and stage a flukey comeback. Once per match a player can restore their Soul Gauge by pressing down three times followed by all three attacks - the trade off being that you lose all your remaining armour and take more damage. However, to balance things out Namco have also included the Active Purge system. Soul Crushing your opponent and immediately pressing all four buttons - is still available, but the new technique makes Critical Finishing a turtling (guard happy) opponent all the more possible. The old method of achieving a Critical Finish - i.e. The character creation closet has less choice than SoulCalibur IV, but you can still make a fetching Morrigan with those bat wings. However, connect this new attack whilst the opponents Soul Gauge is flashing red and you'll automatically perform a round-winning Critical Finish. As an example, Mitsurugi's Demon Slayer makes him flash for a split second before launching his opponent into the air. In Broken Destiny every character has a new move which is activated by pressing all three attacks. But the one major change is how the Soul Gauge and Critical Finish work. Players use the 8-Way Run to dance around their opponent, the Guard Impact system to repel and parry attacks and tactical Ukemi to avoid being pummelled on the ground. In terms of the battle mechanics, Broken Destiny is the same Soul Calibur it was on the PS3 and 360. His play style also revolves around his ability to feign injury and fall to the ground, where he has access to various throws and wakeup techniques which make him difficult to pin down. His individual attacks do minor damage but his speed allows him to keep on the offensive. Unlike Kratos, Dampierre is targeted towards the more advanced player. His appearance leans towards SoulCalibur's more irregular side as he sports a yellow jacket, bowtie, handlebar moustache and top hat - although it's hard to diss a guy who evades via moonwalk. The story portrays him as a silver-tongued conman who fights with concealed daggers. He is lacking a bit in the speed stakes, but thanks to the Blades of Chaos he's an effective midrange fighter with some nasty aerial combos.īroken Destiny's other new character is Dampierre. Namco has wisely made Kratos a solid character for beginners with easy to perform combos which do good damage.
