One super meter that is used for special attacks and quick dodges and dashes, and a meter used for activating 7th Sense where characters deal a bit more damage and can use their Big Bang Attack for an ultimate move. On top of that, there are two gauges that fill up over time. Price I’d pay: $20 7th Sense?! Impossible! It’s simplistic in nature, but complex when executing. Circle fires the energy blast, and X jumps or dashes depending on if the player is holding the guard bumper. These can be combined for string attacks. Square and Triangle are the characters’ light and heavy attacks. Then, with a combination of the bumpers and triggers, alter their button presses with special attacks and dashes. Much like other arena fighters, Saint Seiya has players fighting one on one in a set arena with the ability to jump, attack, and fire energy shots with the face buttons. This helped out a bit because Saint Seiya plays a lot like those games. Luckily, I had played other anime arena fighters in my day like Naruto and Dragon Ball Z. So when I jumped into Saint Seiya: Soldier’s Soul on the PS4, I really had no idea as to what I was getting myself into. Up until a year ago when Jae reviewed the Saint Seiya game for the PS3, I had never even heard of the anime or the manga.
