Past News 

Soul Fighters has finally seen print (in limited edition form). These cards will now be ready for real-world test play! Testing is going on now until November. If all goes well, the cards will see a Christmas release this year!!

Note: final changes are 10 elements (Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, Light, Dark, Metal, Wood, Stone, Ice). 10 classes (Hero, Magic User, Spirit, Phantom, Knight, Avatar, Caster, Guardian, Demon, and Samurai). and 10 card types (Normal Warrior, Enchanted Warrior, Union Warrior, Sealed Warrior, Ascended Warrior, Gear Card, Terrain Card, Magic Card, Trap Card, and Ritual Card).

Rarity won't change (Common, Uncommon, Rare). Two starter decks slated for release: Astral Magus (defensive playing style) and Destiny Fighters (offensive playing style).

Also new to the gameplay mechanics are Keywords so that the card text won't be so cluttered! (Final version of SF Rulebook: 8.0)

Old Past News

Major changes! The Soul Fighters Card Game is getting an overhaul. As for what's getting redone, Warrior Classes are being redone (2 additions, 1 change) due to some confusion about them (and an overlooked rule! oops!).

There are 8 classes instead of 7. The Servant main class and the Demonic subclass are dropped, with the classes now: Hero, Knight, Magic User, Mystic, Spirit, Guardian, Phantasm, and Demon. The 8 elements in the game (Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, Light, Dark, Metal, Wood) are not being altered. (whew!) Card Text is getting re-written for clarity and space (some cards were too wordy!), and some Warrior Cards are getting their ATK/DEF values adjusted (some were too strong for their level).

Because of the heavier focus on Class and Element, the Warrior Classes (as well as Elements) will play a stronger role with actual strengths and weaknesses! (The author stressed her motto: strategy not brute force!) So now, the Warrior Classes will affect what they can do to each other. 

For example, Hero Warriors can be empowered by Knights, Magic Users by Mystics, Spirits by Guardians, and Phantasms by Demons. Also, some Warrior Classes get a slight disadvantage when facing against another Warrior Class: Hero Warriors against Spirits, Knights against Demons, Magic Users against Phantasms and Mystics against Guardians; as well the Warrior Classes gaining a slight advantage when grouped with another Warrior Class: Hero Warriors with Magic Users, Knights with Guardians, Mystic with Demons, and Phantasms with Spirits.

As for Elements, new abilties have come out: Wall (DEF increasing), Power Boosting (ATK increasing), Burning (Direct Damage), Poison (ATK, DEF, or LF Lowering), Healing (LF increasing), Shifting (change a warrior from ATK to DEF and vice-versa), Rebound (returns from Limbo), Alchemic (requiring a coin toss or die roll), and many others to come!

These elements will usually (but not always) have these listed effects: Earth - Wall, Wind - Power Boosting, Fire - Burning, Water - Healing, Light - Shifting, Dark - Rebound, Metal - Alchemic, Wood - Poison.

Here's to success!

Prior News 

The Soul Fighters Card Game now has 670 cards. Plans are in the works to create 30 new cards via contest after the game has been in circulation (once published of course!) Also, the Rulebook have been updated and won't get any more major changes. Last version is 7.0!

Old Prior News 

The Soul Fighters Card Game is now at 650 cards! We finally got the update from the author. Only 645 could be done, since the last 5 got eaten by the computer and we're trying to track down the images used for them. Also, note that the colors of the cards are now different and the rulebook is now at Version 7.0. These are the final changes, as told to us by the author. She feels that 650 cards is enough for the Lackey version of the game and we all hope that once the game is picked up by a publisher, that more cards can be eventually created.

Beginner's Decks will be in the works as well as Intermediate and Advanced Decks. They will be released as virtual decks for the Lackey version to test out how well they work before being published in that format. All decks are classed by 3 basic styles of play: offensive, defensive, and balanced. From there, different playing styles can emerge. To note, the two beginner's decks are mainly balanced, with one focusing mostly offense while the other is defensive. The six intermediate decks will be based on elements wheras the four advanced decks will be based on class.

 As for the card colors, only the MAGIC, UNION, and RITUAL WARRIORS have been changed. It was told that the card's colors are too similar to Yu-gi-oh.

At last, everything's complete and finished! Now that the Plugin is not going through any more changes, we ask YOU folks out there to beta test this game (and have fun with it!) Tell us your likes, dislikes, and comments for improvement, game balance and the like! We are trying to find ways to program this game into its own executable as well as getting it published. If you have any ideas, let us know!

Older News

The Soul Fighters card game now boasts 500 cards! There won't be any more made for the Lackey CCG version until we find a publisher! Also, we got some really good news from the creator of Soul Fighters: a brand new manga as well as the novel, will be published by next summer! She didn't say which will come first, the novel or the manga, so we'll have to see!

Lastly, there has been some changes to the card game. There are now only 7 main classes, more Dragon Warrior support, and a definative update to the offical rulebook to 5.0.

Even Older News

We have 25 new cards to add to the current pool: the long awaited Dragon Warrior sub-types! Also, the rules have been tweaked slightly, mainly spelling/grammar corrections and notes from the author! Since it's not a full update and hence, nothing major was overhauled, it's rules 3.5, instead of 4.0. We're still working on the Agent and Knight Class cards and adding more sub-types!

Also to note, the Decks download section has been taken down, due to constant incompatibility from constant updates. Need deck ideas for the Soul Fighters game? Check out the new page: Deck Builder!

The card game now has over 300 cards, so making many decks is possible!

The official Rules have been updated to 3.0 (some important information has been left out of the shuffle). That is the last update to the Rules! Also, the picture file, GEN-157 is somehow corrupted in the zip file. Get it here! GEN-157

Also, the Soul Fighters plugin now boasts 290 cards! Check it out today!

Really, Really Old News

Version 2.0 of the Soul Fighters plugin is now complete! Though slated for release on May 20th, we had to pull it to check for errors, spelling and grammar mistakes, correct images, and check if the spoiler lists match the card errata. Also, the official rules have been updated to be much more clearer. So download the plugin's files and enjoy playing Soul Fighters today!

Very Old News

We have updated the Plugin a bit: corrected card descriptions, added 4 cards that were missing in the shuffle, for a total of 220 cards, and updated some of the image files. Since there's a lot of cards to go through, some things still might be missing, so we're going over it again to make sure everything's okay!

Really Very Old News

The Plugin for the Lackey CCG Player is now available for download! Get it at the SF Plugin Page!

Ancient News

We finally found an engine to host the card game for online play, Lackey CCG Player! The plugin will be about 5MB so it will be a good wait for those with dial-up connections! There's a plan to split the files into smaller bits so that it can be downloaded into 1 meg chunks... we're still working on that issue.


As for the card game itself, it's on standstill until we find a publisher! We will try this small publisher that's not too far from us... we try to support the little guys! ^_^

Really Ancient News

There are many booster packs to be released and a 2 deck starter deck. We are trying to decide whether to wait for the TCG to get published before releasing the PC game (which is almost finished!) or releasing the PC game first...
