Game Synopsis
«©NCSX»
In Bleach Heat The Soul 4, the primary game mode was "Character
Master" where players selected a champion and 2
supporting partners. In Bleach Heat The Soul 5, it's all about
the "Tag Master" mode where Shinigami,
Humans, Arrancar, and others engage in tag
team fighting action that runs fast and fluid.
Players select two characters from a roster of 31 combatants and
then go to war against another duo. Similar to
previous Bleach HTS games, the action takes place on
a 3D battlefield where a versatile camera zooms in
and out as the fighters draw close to each other and
range far away. When special attacks are triggered,
a short cinema takes over which shows the blazing
theatrics to bombastic effect. Intuitive controls
and a simple evasion system make Bleach HTS5 an easy
game to get into without much time investment
required.
The other game modes include Time Attack,
Free Battle, Soul VS, Survival, and Training for
rusty captains who need a little practice. In
addition to the aforementioned 31 character roster,
two new fighters join the tried and true cast - the
fearsome Cirucci Thunderwitch in all of her
garter-wearing glory and a pink-haired lad named
Zaeruaporo Granz.
Preorder Bonus
Early preorders will include a
black/white Bleach HTS5 towel which is made of 100%
cotton. Sony gave the towel out in 30% ratio so only
early preorders will receive the bonus. Towels
aren't easy to photograph but we'll try to throw up
a photo later today once the morning updates are all
done.

»
Either the d-pad or the analog nub may be used for
control. We found the d-pad more precise. Pushing up
or down makes the fighter run in that direction for
evasive maneuvers or tactical positioning. Pushing
forward and back on the d-pad moves the fighter
likewise.
»You may view the Combo List and adjust the Key
Config at anytime during a battle by pressing the
START button and then selecting the application
option. You may also QUIT the game at any time by
pressing START and selecting the last option.

In the STORY MODE, the first battle pits Ichigo
against a blonde moppet named Sarugaki Hiyori and
her partner
Shinji
Hirako
followed by an encounter against the blue-haired Grimmjow
Jeagerjaques.
After each battle, a bit more story and dialogue is
unveiled which ties the fights together. In the
third mission, players take control of the
orange-haired
Orihime
Inoue and fight Ulquiorra Schiffer. The fourth
battle gives the player control of Yasutora Sado
against Ichigo. Players take control of Ichigo once
again in the fifth mission.
»
At the outset of the game, only 19 of the 31

»
Similarly, only nine stages are selectable at the
outset but an additional seven stages may be
unlocked.
»
At the beginning of every stage, a woman mutters,
"No Escape."
»
Check out the height difference when Yami fights
against Toshiro. It's like a giant standing next to
a toddler. When fighting, Toshiro has to tilt his
head upwards to look at Yami right in his eyes.
Based on what we saw this morning, Yami's attacks
are powerful smackdowns that knock Toshiro down like
a rag doll.
