Soul Calibur , which originally appeared as an Xbox One launch title, has arrived on PC. It’s in the Windows Store and is free-to-play but will only work if your PC is running Windows 10. Any purchases you’ve made on the Xbox version will carry across if you download the game on PC – those purchases are mainly characters, only one of the roster being available for free each month – and you can play against people on both platforms.

It’s Soul Calibur 6’s dedication to recreating the feel of slasher movies, and its approach to player generated horror, which makes its shift from its own fiction into licensed content so intriguing. Behaviour don’t want to just have Michael Myers in their game, they want the player to be able to embody that character and to evoke the feeling of being hunted by Myers through the game’s systems.

The ludicrously titled game is fairly obviously a crossover of Soul Calibur and Dead Or Alive… aha! I made a joke. It in fact has 38 characters from the titular games, and will apparently be the “ultimate tag team match up”.

I deliberately embedded the PC branded version of the Soul Calibur 6 trailer because it insists on referring to the game as an exclusive despite the PC launch happening alongside the release of the trailer, and the Windows 10 version being plugged in the final frames of the video. I know ‘exclusive’ tends to mean ‘not on the other console’ but it still seems odd that “NOW WITH CROSS-PLATFORM PLAY” isn’t a bigger deal than a meaningless “EXCLUSIVE”.

Mechanically, the way the system works is that you get your class’ legendary weapon at the start of Legion. From there, you level it up by fighting and doing other actions, and slowly unlock a series of traits that give it more abilities as well as more power. Soul Calibur , A Frost Death Knight for instance can buy a talent that lets them resurrect themselves.
