Bleach: Rebirth of Souls is a fighting game based on the license of the popular manga titled Bleach, started in 2002 and also adapted into an anime. The game was developed by Tamsoft studio, which has Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions in its portfolio, as well as most of the Senran Kagura series. Its release was handled by Bandai Namco Entertainment.
Gameplay
In Bleach: Rebirth of Souls we take control of the so-called Shinigami - Souls Reapers. They are warriors who engage in fierce sword duels among themselves. The game provides us with a range of characters known from the original manga. They have been diversified in terms of weapons and unique attacks, which they use on the battlefield.
Unlike most representatives of the genre, we do not watch the action from the side, but from behind the character's back (TPP). We hit the enemy, trying to empty their Reishi meter, which results in reducing the number of Konpaku they have. The victory belongs to the warrior who first manages to reduce the opponent's Konpaku to zero.
We can win easier by skillfully merging attacks into spectacular and deadly combinations, using special moves, led by the Kikon Move capable of destroying several of the opponent's Konpaku in one fell swoop, as well as gathering the right amount of power to make use of the Awakened state, which temporarily increases our combat potential.
Game modes
Bleach: Rebirth of Souls can be played solo or in multiplayer (online or locally).
Graphics
The visual layer in Bleach: Rebirth of Souls is maintained in the manga style known from the original.

Bleach: Rebirth of Souls has some uneven presentation and can get overly repetitive towards the end of its campaign, but its more thoughtful combat mechanics and commitment to doing the series’ story justice make it a strong first entry in what I hope is a new series. Whether you’re a seasoned Bankai user or a newcomer to the Soul Society like me, Rebirth of Souls is sure to show you why Bleach earned its place in The Big Three.

I said it before but I’ll say it again, Rebirth of Souls is a true love letter to the Bleach community. It’s the first console game we’ve gotten in over a decade and you can see the hard work that went into it. Fully voiced and nicely animated, it’s a great way to relive the series that many love. However, it’s not perfect. The game has glitches and is missing key characters. Plus the online mode needs some work if it wants to be a real contender in the competitive fighting space. But it’s on the right track to be one of the best fighting games out there and I look forward to seeing how it improves over time including any additional characters.
Completexbox: 80 / 100 by Dan Boise
Bleach Rebirth of Souls is great fighter that can stand on its own thanks to its unique approach and gameplay to the genre. The game offers a decent roster of 30+ characters out of the box, gameplay is easy to pick up and hard to master, and there’s enough gameplay content to keep players busy for months. Despite Story mode feeling more like a watching an anime (felt like 40% playing, 60% watching) and burying the shop under layers of menus in story mode, the gameplay is solid enough to sink its teeth into players. If you’re a long time fighting genre player or looking for some different, Bleach Rebirth of Souls is a must play.
