Bleach: Brave Souls is a free-to-play gacha game developed and published by KLabGames. Set in the Bleach universe, it was released for Android and iOS in Japan in 2015 and worldwide early the following year.[2] The game reported 40 million downloads by May 2019.[3]

Development

A Japanese version was published on July 23, 2015, and an English-language version on January 13, 2016.[2][4]

Gameplay

The game is a real-time, beat 'em up action game with role-playing elements, featuring modes such as story and coop (PvE) and PVP.[5][6] The game is free-to-play with options to purchase in-game items to speed up one's progress.[6][7][8][9]

It features hundreds of collectible characters which can be leveled up and used in combat.[9][8][7] Bleach series creator Tite Kubo has designed images for several unique character versions for the game, including ones related to the official spinoff sequel Can't Fear Your Own World, a story which is also serialized in the game.[10][11][12][13][14][15] The game also includes characters and storylines from the final arc of the Bleach manga, Thousand-Year Blood War, which will receive an anime adaptation in 2022.[16][17][18] The game features music from the J-pop band Hello Sleepwalkers.[7][19]

Reception

The game received relatively positive reviews. Wellplayed wrote: "For a free-to-download mobile game, Bleach: Brave Souls offers an impressive array of content that will keep you entertained for longer than it has any right to do",[5] Droid Gamers said: "Even if one is unfamiliar with the Bleach property, Brave Souls stands well enough on its own as a top-notch hack-n-slash with light RPG elements, that the game comes recommended to gamers of all types and not just fans of the anime".[6] Digitally Downloaded concluded that "Brave Souls isn't the finest anime game out there, but I believe it can be. Even in its bumpy, jagged state, KLab has managed to boil the franchise down to its most appealing elements and turn an intimidating multi-hundred chapter mess into something newcomers can actually parse".[9] One of those early reviews which offered a scale ranked the game as 4 out 5.[7] The Gamer's Library reviewer, while noting that they enjoy the game and plan on playing it, cautioned that it is rather repetitive.[8]
