Bleach: Rebirth of Souls was officially announced three weeks ago by Bandai and there’s a lot of excitement taking into account it’s a Bleach game meant for consoles. This is a 3D Arena fighting game developed by Bandai Namco and Tamsoft Corporation. Even though its announcement in recent, there’s been so much update which will be talked about in this article.
Information about the game was revealed during the games official announcement. This can be seen in Bandai Namco’s official website and it reads:
A gameplay overview trailer for the upcoming Bleach game was released which gave a detailed explanation about how the combat systems work in the game. It was a little bit confusing but I will do my best to explain it. One thing I can say about this Bleach game is that the fighting mechanics are unique and different compared to other games. The game is a blend of 2D and 3D. In a match, there are 9 health bars. The terms used to refer to these are known as “Konpaku” and “Reishi”. Konpaku is like a complete health bar meanwhile Reishi is a player’s current HP bar.
Once a Reishi gauge is diminished, a player loses 1 Konpaku, once all 9 konpaku’s have been deleted, you lose the match. For a better understanding, once the Reishi is depleted, it breaks the konpaku, and you can attack the opponent and the strength of the attacks deplete more konpaku or health bars. Once an attack has been dealt, the opponents Reishi bar refills and you keep repeating the process until you don’t have any points left. The game uses a progression system for battle which explains why there are 9(health bars). Normal attacks take 1 point from the health bar unless you use ultimate moves or specials which might take up to 3 or 4 konpaku.
When you lose certain amounts of health bars, you gain access to new moves and the more health bars you lose, the more moves you have access to. When you’ve been pushed to the edge, you have access to awakening.
So far three character trailers have been revealed with move-sets included. These characters are Ichigo Kurosaki, Rukia Kuchiki and Uryu Ishida
