Sure, it’ll eat your soul away and spread evil across the land, but you’ll also be smiting your enemies with a giant, crooked, demonic broadsword with eyeballs all over it. The story revolves around a sword that is kind of like the One Ring from Lord of the Rings, only it’s actually useful in battle. The Soul Edge/ Soul Blade/ SoulCaliburseries is a collection of fighting games that takes place several centuries ago in the times of samurais, ninjas, knights, pirates, cranky men with owl heads, etc. A tale of souls and swords eternally retold. A franchise transcending history and the world.
For that we must take a trip to another franchise.
