Soul Edge is a 3D arcade fighting game and the first in the Soul series, it is one of the first 3D fighting game in history that place a particular emphasis on the story of the fighters. Each character have their own weapon, allowing for a wide range of play styles. The slower, longer ranged characters try to deliver their heavy blows from a distance whereas the quicker, faster characters try to get in as close as possible and deliver quick-hitting attacks. In the 16th century, an extremely powerful sword named Soul Edge surfaces and attracts evil warriors from around the world who want its power. From America to Europe to Japan, these warriors fight each other for the chance to obtain it.
