Kratos’ angry mug hits store shelves today. SOULCALIBUR: Broken Destiny is now available for the Sony PlayStation Portable. God of War’s Kratos is heavily prominent on the cover and back of the box, as he’s the featured guest character for the fighting game. Does any fighter stand a chance? Check it out in the PSP debut of the Soulcalibur series.
See a trailer below and various character art here.
Some features of SOULCALIBUR: Broken Destiny, as noted by Namco Bandai Games:
“Adding depth to the combat, an all new single player Trials mode has been specifically created for the PSP system that not only tests a gamer’s reflexes but also improves their skills. Annihilating the competition has never been so satisfying as finely tuned and enriched battle mechanics including Critical Finishes, Soul Crushes and Equipment Destruction can be used to unleash devastating combos. In addition, players can further develop their basic fighting skills and fine-tune advanced techniques with over 80 exercise missions or practice in the vigorous Training mode. Let the trash talking commence as SOULCALIBUR: Broken Destiny allows gamers to engage in local wireless battles, allowing them to challenge a friend using the PSP system’s ad hoc networking.”
SOULCALIBUR: Broken Destiny is now available for $39.99 on the PSP. Watch for our review here on GamingBits soon!
