Soul Calibur: Lost Swords is a crappy free-2-play version of a great beat-em up game. [June 2014]

Rather than being encouraged to play, it often feels like Bandai Namco is actively discouraging you from Lost Swords. [Issue#148, p.124]

A bad implementation of the free to play concept in a multiplayer-less SoulCalibur chapter. The heavy server issues also add to the disappointment.

The lack of multiplayer is baffling. [July 2014, p.80]

The shame here isn't that this is a a bad beat-'em-up. It's that it's a good one saddled with so much nonsense and tedium that you're unlikely to care. [Aug 2014, p.78]

To call Lost Swords a failed experiment would be an insult to every ambitious game that fell flat on its face. It feels like Namco put barely any thought into making the not-so-micro-transactions justifiable or even making sure that the single-player focus felt consistently engaging.

In some weird way all of Lost Swords bad ideas remind you why you once loved the series.

A drab campaign and awful loading times underline this colossal misstep in the stage of history.

Who needs Souls Calibur: Lost Swords? Well, with all the “complete” versions available at with a budget price tag, actually nobody.
