In the PlayStation 3-exclusive Bleach: Soul Resurrección, the afterlife adventures of reluctant Soul Reaper Ichigo Kurosaki make their high-definition video game debut. Gamers can role-play through re-creations of their favorite Bleach comics and animation series plotlines or seek out fresh side-adventures in the freely explored game environment, which is loaded with random encounters and fan-friendly details. In the anime’s distinct visual style, cel-shaded images provide interactive depth. Aside from Ichigo, players may experience the mission-driven adventures of 20 other characters from the popular manga and animated series.
Characters can be customized as they gain experience by selecting which new talents and abilities to acquire. The combat-centric gameplay features superhuman swordplay and supernatural powers, and confrontations can generate Dynasty Warriors-style odds as the player’s lone hero must actively fend off waves of enemy opponents. The game’s Mission Mode provides a goal-oriented alternative to the character-based campaigns of the Story Mode.
