Here's the blurb from the game's Steam page: This time round, players can look forward to a reworked fighting system, new game modes, and, for the first time, can explore the Asgard Arc - a famous series story line. Although not what I was after, I loved it! Why is this self-indulgent rabble important? Saint Seiya is accessible to noobs, like my idiot self a decade ago. I picked up Saint Seiya: The Sanctuary in a mortifying display of book-cover-judging skulduggery and instead got a cut-scene-heavy larger than life action-cum-fighting game.
In mid-2005, I'd not long finished Suikoden IV on the PlayStation 2 and was after another meaty JRPG to sink my teeth into.
My introduction to the Saint Seiya series came courtesy of my own ignorance ten years ago. Saint Seiya: Soldiers' Soul Knights Of The Zodiac, the latest game and the first to get an English PC release, has arrived on Steam and brings with it 40 stages, 72 playable characters, and 144 costumes. The manga series that started it all has since spawned an animated series, numerous video games, and even musicals over three decades. The Saint Seiya series has stood the test of time.
