Soul Sacrifice Critic Reviews

Even though it's not perfect, it's one of the most addictive games on the handheld. The game mechanics works very well, but keep in mind that those looking for a Monster Hunter on PS Vita probably won't find that.

Soul Sacrifice is not a kind of chimera born simply from Monster Hunter and Demon's Souls influences, because Keiji Inafune breathed a real soul into it by integrating the concept of sacrifice with the narrative, the gameplay system and the multiplayer philosophy.

Soul Sacrifice is a truly excellent game, very playable and accurate in every detail. It inherits from its genre some degree of repetitiveness at times, it is a little slow at the start, but keep playing it to unveil one of the best experiences you can live... not only on a PS Vita.

Soul Sacrifice is a solid project with a great design and an interesting gameplay. Both single player and multiplayer are fun and addictive. After Persona 4 Golden this is the game you will play the most on your PS Vita.

Soul Sacrifice is one of the most unique and most charismatic games on the PlayStation Vita to this date.

Soul Sacrifice is a heavy action-rpg with a great moral choice system. Even if the camera controls are poor and there are a few graphical quirks the developer Marvelous AQL delivers an awesome game with lots of replayability. If you own a PS Vita you owe yourself to play this game.

Soul Sacrifice is that great game that PlayStation Vita needed. Keiji Inafune's new game offers a rich universe, an exciting story, entertaining gameplay and an epic soundtrack.

Soul Sacrifice is as rewarding as it is twisted. It is very similar to Monster Hunter but with a much better framework to the experience and gameplay that rivals some of the most popular action games on the market. There is a ton to do and love here, but you have to work for it, which may turn some people away.

It’s an original and moody action-RPG with fast-paced, energetic combat and layers upon layers of depth to explore.

Diverse, stuffed with content and challenging, Soul Sacrifice might not be the game to save PS Vita but its attention to detail and stellar execution means it is one of handheld's best.

Soul Sacrifice is what you'd get if you smashed Phantom Dust and Monster Hunter together and added a meaningful plot, and it does what it sets out to do with aplomb.

Soul Sacrifice is a fantastic game for the PlayStation Vita. The title comes with great gameplay variety, even if you're required to grind a lot in order to keep going. It's a hard game, but never unfairly so, and you can be sure to spend many hours in this bleak world. Both graphics and audio are strong for a handheld title and the story is, on top of everything else, highly intriguing. You won't regret buying this.

Some really good gameplay ideas, a good storytelling and a fast paced combat.

Soul Sacrifice did not fall short of expectations, proving to be an Action-RPG absolutely addictive, with a good strategic depth and enlivened by a very successful plot.

Anyone who enjoys Monster Hunter, and even folks who don’t, will find a game that offers up a lot of fun both off and online.

All in all, Soul Sacrifice has great graphics, decent sound and some really enjoyable gameplay that is perfect for the PS Vita.

A challenging RPG with variety, depth and some truly kick-ass magic spells.

Among the prettiest and most enjoyable games on Vita, not to mention the fact that it'll last you bloody ages.

Easily targeted as a Monster Hunter clone for the PS Vita, the new creation of Keiji Inafune emerges with a defined personality that shines throughout the whole experience. With a deep combat, customization and even crafting system, and one of the best artistic styles of the entire Vita library, Soul Sacrifice challenges us to a series of close, Arena-style fights against nightmarish creatures, which we can liberate or sacrifice, that advances in terms of its epic nature and visual scale. Maybe it feels repetitive playing solo, but to the fun multiplayer, the narrative piece of the Librom diary and the depth of the weapons ans Skills make it a one of a kind. One that will take us more than hours merely in its offline Campaign mode.

The gameplay is smooth and every spell is designed to be both cool and useful. The environments are well crafted, ranging from icy plains mired with huge chains to forests filled with bizarre trees covered in throbbing blood veins.
