Jae Lee writes: I have never seen an episode of Saint Seiya or read a single chapter of its manga. All I’ve seen of the series over the years being around the internet are random snippets and references that I didn’t really get.
So as my very first introduction into this beloved classic, I went in open minded hoping to be impressed. Unfortunately, I fear it may have been too little, too late.
New PSN sale has DBZ Battle of Z, Saint Seiya Brave Soldiers and more.
Glitch Cat - Saint Seiya: Brave Soldiers delivers deep fan-service, but falls short of achieving the same depth in the actual fighting/brawling. The relative lack in combo variety and similarities between the 50 total fighters makes evident that this game is a tribute to its cosmic origins, but isn’t a genuine attempt to big-bang into the competitive video game realm.
From the review - One step forward, three steps back; that's the motto for Saint Seiya: Brave Soldiers. Where it welcomes its crowd with accessible simplicity, it kills its attached gameplay elements by streamlining too much of it into one generic blob.
