Soul Eater: the game for blue arc enthusiasts


Square Enix's anime-based action game Soul Eater: Monotone Princess has just been given a Japanese release date and price: September 25, for 6,090 yen ($57). Judging from the latest (small) batch of screens, you get a lot of flashy blue lights for your money, at least. It would appear that if you want to see blue arcs more than any other element on the screen, this is your game.

Just as we saw in the last screens, any attack performed in Soul Eater results in a blue tracer. Any impact then registers as a blue circle. It's part of Soul Eater's signature look, and emphasizes the awesomeness of the game's weapons, but it's also a bunch of streaky stuff covering the screen.
