Gameplay[]
The gameplay mechanism is a mix of Soul Calibur and Mortal Kombat. However, unlike Soul Calibur, the players can now use bolt action rifles, lever action rifles, revolvers, pistols, blades, maces and clubs as default and specific weapons. And unlike Mortal Kombat, their "Fatality", "Agonizing", is more cruel and simpler. This "Agonizing" ability allows the players to use their authentic weapons. Each characters have their authentic and specific weapons that fit the period of stage in timeline. And those characters have their specific stages. The stage number is increased to 10, including two "Rival Fight" stages. Unlike the traditional fighting games, "Soldiers of the World" has no "Boss Stage".
