>What is Soul Calibur 3's Chronicles of the Sword and is it ACTUALLY good?
It's a fighting game/RTS hybrid. IMO it's worse and mechanically flawed because the player gets unit regen in all missions except for the final one, but the enemy side doesn't. This makes it so that the optimal strategy is to ALWAYS leave one unit in a safe place and go around the map killing everything in sight with the remaining ones. Even if your units get killed a couple of times, the enemy cannot get to your main fortress fast enough for it to matter, especially if you often trade them for fortresses, which they then have to reconquer. You can upgrade those fortresses to serve as respawn points to bring your units to the enemy faster and it makes things trivial. There are one or two chronicles where you fail if you don't save some people, other than that you always have to defeat specific characters or destroy the main enemy fortress. What's more, this mode sometimes wastes your time because there is nothing to do when all of your units besiege enemy fortresses. The AI becomes really hard to fight against towards the end, but you are never really feel threatened by it if you know what you're doing. It's tedious rather than challenging (again, except for the final mission). Overall, I didn't enjoy CotS as much as I thought I would and certainly not as much as Tales of Souls, which I still think is fantastic.
