The controls are simple and easy to master, but it’s the A.I. The combat is arena based and fully 3D movement similar to the previous title and some Dragon Ball Z titles.Įach character has a specific moveset accommodating to the appropriate zodiac they correspond to. modes unless you plan on using more than the couple available characters.

The plot is confusing to begin with and there is a ton of scenes to watch in between each chapter, which can be tiresome and frustrating. One thing to keep in mind with this game is, if you are not someone that follows the series, the story is going to be hard to follow. The title includes the original Japanese dialog with English subtitles so be prepared to read a lot during the story mode. The game is everything you would expect from the series, including 70 playable characters, The Story of Saint Seiya, and online modes.
Here we are in 2015 with a PS4 port of the latest in the series Soldier’s Soul. In the end, the fans that purchased it for the most part enjoyed it, which in turn would give reason to bring more titles down the line. The reception was mixed, but more on the negative side. Many years later we finally received a Saint Seiya: Brave Soldiers port on the PS3 in 2013. That didn’t stop hardcore fans from importing titles. Most of these were never released outside of Japan and UK. The series has had a cult following for quite some time and with enough demand, we saw numerous video game adaptations on the PS2 and PS3. I remember watching plenty of episodes without subtitles, not knowing what was going on, but still enjoyed watching the action. It was one of the first “anime” series I was introduced to in the early 90s at comic conventions with my dad. Nearly thirty years ago, Saint Seiya was a manga released in Japan and an animated show shortly after.
