BLEACH Rebirth of Souls

A great illustration of the anime, however the multiplayer could be better

game is genuinely fun! tho it's not worth paying full price for it, I'd recommend buying it during sales only. overall the game is very beginner friendly, even if you have no knowledge with fighting games, however I do recommend watching the series before playing the game, so you won't be confused about who these characters are and what's their story. highly recommended if you love bleach but don't wanna bother learning complex fighting mechanics

[b]Summary[/b] In short, this game is basically a 3D interactive version of the Bleach anime. If you're a big Bleach fan and want to experience the story again in 3D up through the end of the Hueco Mundo arc, that's exactly what this game offers. It's like a mix between a fighting game and a Telltale game. Instead of making choices, you'll play through major battles while completing optional bonus objectives during fights. The game also includes a Mission Mode that had a lot of potential but ultimately feels like it was added at the last minute. Overall, I'd give the game a 7/10. If you're looking to replay Bleach in a 3D format with decent gameplay and mediocre animations, you'll probably enjoy it. If you're expecting a deep fighting game, however, you may end up disappointed. [b]The Combat[/b] The combat isn't terrible, but it often feels clunky, especially when using certain characters' special moves. Depending on who you're playing, you'll likely find yourself randomly missing attacks that should have connected. Ranged attacks and special abilities generally feel much worse than melee combat. The camera is also frustrating. It often feels like you have no control over it. The game puts too much emphasis on making combat look cinematic instead of making it feel satisfying to play. I would have preferred smoother combat and more abilities over flashy cinematic combat. That said, the core combat system is fairly unique. The Konpaku system acts as your true health, while the Reishi gauge functions like a shield (similar to Halo Reach kind of?). Personally, I think multiple health bars like the Dragon Ball games would have worked better, but the Konpaku system does encourage each character to be played a little differently, which is a nice touch. One thing I really liked was how many characters' Bankai abilities completely change the flow of a fight. Some transformations introduce entirely different mechanics, a really nice touch [b]The Story[/b] The story is essentially just the Bleach anime recreated in 3D. You'll spend significantly more time watching cutscenes than actually playing the game, I'm not joking. Naturally, it's shorter than the anime itself, but the animations are often stiff and awkward. One thing that stood out to me was how exaggerated the characters' head movements are while running. Oddly enough, the game even includes some filler content. Considering that most people buying this game have probably already watched Bleach, I don't think recreating so much of the anime was the best use of development resources. Personally, I think the developers would have been better off using high-quality 2D manga-style panels with narration or recaps to tell the story. It feels like a huge portion of the budget went toward animating cutscenes instead of improving the gameplay. [b]Other Stuff[/b] The music isn't great. The narration isn't great. The voice acting is okay. None of these elements are bad, they just don't really stand out. Mission Mode is a cool concept that could have been 10x better. Adding generic enemies like Hollows and lower-ranked Arrancar was a nice addition and helped make the world feel more complete. The Soul Crystal system for creating character builds was another good idea, but it also feels underdeveloped. I also would have liked to see more alternate costumes and color variations for the characters. [b]Conclusion[/b] I think too much of the game's budget went into recreating the anime with cinematic cutscenes. If I wanted to watch Bleach, I'd watch the anime. I bought this because I wanted to play a game. I don't think the game is bad ,in fact I enjoyed it; but it could have been so much better. There are a lot of great ideas here, but many of them feel underutilized. If the developers make another Bleach game, I'd love to see them focus more on combat, replayability, and additional game modes instead of trying to recreate the entire anime in 3D. Personally, I'd love to see a Bleach game similar to Dragon Ball Xenoverse, where you can create your own Soul Reaper and develop your own character. More PvE content, co-op missions, and long-term progression would also give the game a much healthier lifespan. Despite my criticisms, I still hope we get more Bleach games in the future. The series has a lot of potential, and I'd love to see a bleach game that builds on some of the good ideas this game introduced.

It's just a bad game. I really enjoyed the two Bleach games on the PS2 back in the day, and I had no problem finishing plenty of Naruto games on the PS2 as well as the Storm series, but I just don't like this game.

Este juego es una DECEPCIÓN total, para los fans de bleach y para los que no lo son, parece hecho con el minimo presupuesto, cortan escenas para no hacer animaciones, combates SUPER LENTOS y repetitivos con efectos mediocres, realmente no lo recomiendo para nada, y eso que soy fan del anime.

Franchement je trouve que les critiques abusent complètement sur ce jeu. C’est assez fou de voir à quel point il s’est fait démonter alors qu’en y jouant vraiment, l’expérience est super solide. Déjà graphiquement il est vraiment réussi, c’est hyper plaisant à regarder. Les animations sont une pure dinguerie : les combats sont fluides, spectaculaires et ça donne vraiment l’impression d’être dans l’univers de l’anime. Le système de combat est aussi très original. Une fois qu’on commence à bien le maîtriser, il y a moyen de lâcher des enchaînements vraiment stylés et de faire des actions complètement folles pendant les fights. Concernant le mode histoire, je trouve que beaucoup de critiques ont été trop dures. Personnellement j’ai pris énormément de plaisir à le refaire dans le jeu. Honnêtement, comparé à d’autres jeux d’anime récents comme Sparking Zero ou JJK, il les à surpasser de très haut. Bref, je ne dis pas que le jeu est parfait, mais il est clairement sous-coté. Si vous aimez l’univers et les jeux de combat anime, il mérite vraiment qu’on lui laisse sa chance.
