Bleach: Rebirth of Souls Reviews
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.
Bleach: Rebirth of Souls is the game that Bleach fans have deserved for such a long time. It's a fresh and inventive arena fighter that combines the classic energy and atmosphere of the series with a fresh, stylish, and modern coat of paint.
Bleach Rebirth of Souls is perhaps the best game based on Tite Kubo's manga: respectful of the original work, artistically inspired, and with a combat system that is original and "cheeky" to the point. In contrast, in many other respects it could have dared more.

The latest game adaptation of Bleach is a solid entry for the franchise and as a fighting game. Whether it will stand the test of time remains to be seen, but the potential is there, and it has a solid base that can be built upon for updates and future games. BLEACH Rebirth of Souls is a real love letter to the manga, the anime and most importantly, the fans.
Bleach Rebirth of Souls is the first Bleach Game in a long time. Unfortunately this is not the winning formula for this anime. For the fans there is some entertainment to get out of the game, but not enough to keep your weeks busy. That is why Bleach Rebirth of Souls gets a 6 for the effort.

"A dazzling, action-packed fighting experience" Bleach: Rebirth of Souls offers a visually stunning fighting experience that captures the atmosphere of the anime, but it lacks mechanical depth and competitive continuity. Despite stunning cinematic moves and fast-paced combat, limited combat systems and weak online content affect its long-term appeal. The game is good, but as a competitive fighting game, it will need a lot of support.

BLEACH Rebirth of Souls is a title that, unfortunately, falls halfway between being a truly worthwhile experience and a missed opportunity. The gameplay, fun, varied, and more strategic than even the most optimistic could have hoped for, deserved a more solid online mode and greater attention to some features that have now become standard. The main mode is well-executed, but it lacks everything essential for a community to continue supporting a product of this kind in the months to come.

Bleach Rebirth of Souls is an arena fighting game with dynamic gameplay and a focus on staying true to the anime. Featuring a diverse cast, it offers an engaging experience that will surely please fans but may not be the game for those looking for something more complex.

The stylish animations and rich combat depth of Bleach Rebirth of Souls make it shine in a sea of run-of-the-mill arena fighters, even if a few missteps like its uneven story mode keep it from living up to the full spectacle of the adored anime series.
Bleach Rebirth of Souls is a solid fighting game based on Tite Kubo's manga, perhaps the best production related to the franchise. It's not a perfect fighting game and there are some problems with online matches, but it's a solid base to start from.

There's something really compelling at the core of Bleach: Rebirth of Souls, but it struggles to emerge amidst half-baked mechanics and a general lack of depth. The game wows over the first few hours with slick visuals and a varied character roster, but it just doesn't have the content to keep anyone but the most hardcore Bleach fans hooked. While it's great to see Tite Kubo's edgy blockbuster back in action, Rebirth of Souls will go down as a flashy fighter that never realised its potential.
For fans of the franchise, it's not bad at all, but if anyone wants to get into Bleach through this product, I'd honestly recommend watching the anime on streaming platforms instead. I'm not saying it's a bad game, but it's not aimed at the newer audience who just wants to have a good time with a fighting game.

The developers deserve credit – it would have been far too easy to do the bare minimum and call it a day. However, Bleach: Rebirth of Souls is a legitimately compelling and well made arena fighter, that allows for some very thrilling fights. While other parts of the package are weaker and drag it down, this is the rare anime adaptation that can be recommended even to those who may not already be fans of the property.
Tamsoft has shown its expertise in implementing exciting combat and accurately portraying the elements of the BLEACH world, but it seems that due to lack of time or resources, it was unable to fully realize the potential of the game. The game deserved a quality story and more content, which was not achieved. However, in many other areas, such as the visual output, there are some flaws that can make even a person completely unfamiliar with the BLEACH world interested in this series.

Bleach Rebirth of Souls is absolutely worth it for fans of the anime and manga. Packed with fan service, you can spend hundreds of hours mastering your favourite characters thanks to the fun gameplay, with more content to come via DLC. Newbies can join in and have fun, and the story mode, while somewhat lacking, is well animated and offers rewards.

For years, BLEACH fans have begged for a proper game. Something that captures the flashiness, depth, and pure anime nonsense of the series. And while Rebirth of Souls isn’t perfect—it lacks ranked play, crossplay, and a truly great story mode—it’s still the best BLEACH game we’ve ever had.
Bleach: Rebirth of Souls’ satisfying roster and flashy combat makes the most out of these characters’ abilities but simplistic combat and bare-bones modes do little to support a solid story mode.
The fighting system in Bleach: Rebirth of Souls is surprisingly good. The gameplay is deep and challenging, and even if you’re unfamiliar with the characters, the effects and animations make for impressive moments. However, the story mode is a big part of the game, and the lackluster presentation detracts from the experience. The cutscenes are too long, the fights too short, and the overall presentation is disappointing. For fans who come purely for the fights, this is one of the better arena fighters. But if you’re looking for an immersive story experience that does Bleach justice, this is probably best skipped.

Bleach: Rebirth of Souls brought me an intense mix of emotions, making me hate and love the game at different times. But, in the end, an appreciation and attachment to the game remained, which is even difficult to explain. This game is a good way to consume Bleach in 2025, with a complete story mode and interesting gameplay.

Overall, the faithfulness to Kubo’s art style is a big drawcard for existing BLEACH fans, and for arena battle fans, it captures the best elements of the game style.
