You would lock onto an opponent and the system would automatically spam them with attacks until you entered additional commands into your queue. Where SAO: Hollow Fragment allowed you to freely explore the world maps and towns, combat had an auto-attack system which could make you feel distant from the action. Stepping away from narrative issues for a moment and moving on to the mechanics, SAO: Lost Song, as opposed to the franchise’s previous installments, has much more of an action role-playing game feel. Many of the maps can quickly fill with endlessly spawning opponents. This unintentionally elite approach to the game’s design bleeds down into all its other elements, often holding it back from it’s real potential.ĭepending on how you meet your opposition, this Sword Art Online: Lost Song can feel similar to Dynasty Warriors. But it does point to how much it’s isolated itself within an ecosystem of hardcore Sword Art Online fans who are already voraciously gobbling up every bit of content they can find. This doesn’t exactly indicate that SAO: Lost Song is a bad game, because in several ways it’s a lot of fun. I wish that was an exaggeration, but it’s honestly your best bet since the game itself seems too pre-occupied telling it’s own story to bother catching you up what’s already happened. Indeed, if a player really wanted to “ get” what was going on with the characters, the plot, and the world state of SAO: Lost Song even just thirty minutes past the title screen, they would need to watch the anime’s first two seasons, then forget 30% of it, play Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment to completion, and then begin Sword Art Online: Lost Song. Choosing the popular VMMO ALfheim Online as the new world they will explore, the group embarks on new gaming adventures in this Norwegian fantasy environment.
Highly condensed, the story of Sword Art Online: Lost Song is thus after surviving a VMMO named Sword Art Online, where our characters were trapped inside the game for years and forced to fight for their actual, physical, lives, Kirito and his friends have decided to once again enter the virtual gaming world to see if there is still any “fun” left to be had there. It’s because in order to understand the lion’s share of Sword Art Online: Lost Song’s story it requires at least some familiarity with the work it’s based on and that’s just for starters. Now I share the above information not just because I am a fan of the show (which I am) or because I am trying to sell you on it’s merits(which I’m not). These VMMOs, as they are called in the story of SAO, are the newest breed of gaming, and run on state of the art headset consoles that completely transport a player’s consciousness into a virtual world, allowing them to physically feel and experience everything their avatar does. The focus of the plot shifts around quite a bit over course of the franchise’s several narrative arcs, but typically orbits the adventures of hardcore gamer Kazuto ( aka Kirito) and his girlfriend Asuna as they explore the worlds of Virtual Massive Multiplayer Online videogames.
