About

Soulcalibur III is a fighting game produced by Namco as a sequel to Soulcalibur II and the fourth installment in the Soul series. The game includes three new modes and a larger character roster with 24 characters playable in Tales of Souls mode and an additional 18 playable in all other modes.

What players say

A content-stuffed entry beloved for its deep character creation and chronicle mode, though the community finds the combat a touch slower and gripes about cheap AI, shaky balance, and save-corruption bugs that keep it a step below SoulCalibur II.
