  I don’t know if I have made this clear enough, so let me just sum this up for you: do not play this game. Do not download it, don’t even think about once you have finished reading this review. If you see someone playing this game, tell them about a better game. If they don’t listen, slap them, because they need it.

  I know that most developers and publishers are into creating games to make money, but burying a fun fighting mechanic behind such a steep paywall seems like a waste to me. I would much rather pay a premium for the game and receive enough gems through playing, win or lose. That way, how far I make it is based on my skill and effort, rather than my wallet.

  Elsewhere, SOULCALIBUR Unbreakable Soul is less friendly. Heavily focused on a 'pay to win' approach with a premium currency getting in the way as well as an energy bar restricting how much one can play at any one time, it's also a fairly convoluted game.

  3.0

  I really wanted to like Unbreakable Soul, but it proved that it had no heart. As a lifelong fan of the SoulCalibur series, I was hoping for an exciting game that would give me the same heart-pounding action as the arcade and console fighters, even on a smaller scale. But the end result was a polished, yet deeply unsatisfying card battle game that reeks of an attempt to milk a popular franchise by repurposing it into a mobile-based cash grab. This is one tale that is better off untold.

  4.0

  Soulcalibur Unbreakable Soul’s dull battle system and restrictive energy system spoils its reasonable CCG foundations, and does the franchise a disservice.

  4.0

  En definitiva, un título con mucho margen de mejora, con una presentación audiovisual sencilla aunque vistosa, pero que adolece de demasiados aspectos por pulir, desde su jugabilidad hasta su diseño; los fans de SoulCalibur harían bien en volver a los títulos clásicos ‒ya sea en plataformas de sobremesa o recuperando el port táctil del original‒ para seguir disfrutando de Mitsurugi, Sophitia o Voldo al nivel que merecen.
