Saint Seiya: Soldiers' Soul looks and feels very cheap right from the off. While it is no shock that this very plain and bland looking game does manage 60 frames per second, it seems the PS3 and PS4 versions both share the same low resolution textures. It uses cel-shading rendering, so it is not like the textures are even that complex, even by Dreamcast standards. Mickey mouse clubhouse dvd sets. The few textures that are here are meant to look like inked lines to emulate the appearance of the manga and anime. While fighting, the characters look and animate at a serviceable level, but during cut-scenes they awkwardly stand around, barely moving, or they move like a robot with lifeless, soulless eyes that never blink - kind of like plastic anime face masks. The fighting arenas don't fare well, either, looking like PS2 level simplicity, and painted with a lifeless colour palette with flat textures.

Saint Seiya Soldiers Soul Gameplay

Even the character rigging is incredibly laughable, with some of the most distracting clipping and painful, or unnatural, looking poses. At the very least, the developer did manage to capture the 'look' of Saint Seiya, and the roster does look faithful to their origins, even if the attempt is Spartan at best. The visuals are lacking, to say the least, but the real horror reveals itself when playing this. Saint Seiya: Soldiers' Soul is a terrible fighter, possibly ranking as one of the worst of this ilk made in a long time, and is easily the worst one on the PlayStation 4. There are some utterly broken members of the line-up that completely tip the scales in terms of balance.
