Accel World VS. Sword Art Online Deluxe Edition

This is my favorite SAO game of all time. I love Accel World and I love SAO. I loved grinding for hours, even though it says 14.8 hrs I just ported my data from my pirated version of this game. This is what a real sao game should be like, all the new games ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ SUCK

Definitely one of the best SAO games out there, easily top 3 imo. Lacks a tiny bit of polish in terms of camera lock-on and combat, but is overall pretty smooth on that front. Story is hands down the best out of all the SAO games, and it's not even close. Going in, I had no clue what Accel World was, and if you're unfamiliar with it either (or unfamiliar with SAO for that matter), this game does a good job at explaining both. Thank you, "Say It, Miss Strea!" from the gallery. Apparently they're the same universe (not canon to either anime or any other game fsr), but if you're a fan of one franchise, you'll definitely like the other. I don't want to say that it's the same formula written by the same person, but it kinda is. There are literally like 40 characters or something (once you unlock them all). Literally no shortage of variety. Each SAO character can use 3 different classes of weapons, so put Sinon on a spear if you're really feeling you want more base damage. Though the bow and it's range can definitely keep you alive sometimes. AW characters are a bit less fleshed out imo. I still haven't seen the show (thanks crunchyroll), but they have a couple incarnate skills and a…

From hollow fragment, to Lost song, to Hollow realization, to this, this is definitely the worst game out of the 4. The port is complete ass, first off. The game logic itself lags even though the framerate doesn't (though that's locked to 30fps). The quest design is just god awful. Finding where anything is to do anything is a nightmare since the game skimps on markers and gives no sort of landmark-based or directional descriptions on where things are. Even though it's a copy and paste of Lost Song they've somehow managed to make the combat less responsive, harder to control, and less skill-based. It's basically a skill spam like Hollow Fragment but with terrible 3D movement and half a cast that can't 3D move to begin with. Genuinely, this is the first of the SAO games that I will not finish. Hopefully it's not story-critical.

[h1]Pros[/h1] [list] [*]Collaboration game that takes place after the events of Lost Song where Accel World's Brain Burst universe (20 years into the future) merges into Svart Alfheim [*]Many scenes and interactions between all the characters; all voiced by the original Seiyuu's [*]Just about a 1:1 copy of Lost Song's systems (combat, skills, leveling, gearing, animations) with an endgame dungeon similar to Hollow Realization's (1000 floors) [*]Short but interesting story centered around Yui and immortality [*][b]Yuna (Ordinal Scale Mentioned)[/b] [/list] [h1]Cons[/h1] [list] [*]Besides Accel World content, gameplay is essentially "Lost Song part 2" [*]Only recommend for fans or consumers of previous SAO & AW anime content [*]Only single-player SAO game that is non-canon to the game series (not a con but worth mentioning) [/list]

Accel World vs. Sword Art Online was a fun game overall. I've never seen Accel World so I went into it mainly as a SAO fan, and I still had a great time. Seeing all of the SAO and AW characters together and experiencing a new story made it enjoyable from start to finish. While I'm sure Accel World fans would appreciate it even more, I still found it to be a solid crossover game. Overall, I'd definitely recommend it to SAO fans. 7/10
