First, I want to say that I'm really enjoying SAO: Echoes of Aincrad. The combat, exploration, and progression have been a lot of fun. One thing I would love to see in future free updates or DLC is the addition of the life skills that made Aincrad feel like a real, living world in the light novels and games. Not everyone in SAO was a front-line fighter—many players chose professions and built their own lives within the game. I'd love to see skills such as: 🍳 Cooking 🎣 Fishing 🏹 Hunting ⛺ Camping 🔨 Blacksmithing 🧪 Crafting/Alchemy 🧵 Tailoring 🌿 Gathering 🎼 Music 👂 Listening/Search Skills 🗺️ Tracking These systems could provide buffs, create new ways to earn Col, encourage exploration, and give players more reasons to revisit every floor of Aincrad. They would also make the game feel much closer to the world portrayed in the novels and anime. I hope the development team considers expanding the game with these features. They would add depth, replayability, and help make Aincrad feel like the immersive MMORPG that so many SAO fans have dreamed of experiencing.

14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 1: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

I'm a big Sword Art fan. I watched the original series back in 2012 when it was new, both Dub and Sub, and I enjoyed the world of Aincrad. I've played all but maybe 2 of the previous SAO games and for the most part, they were severely lack luster. This game had SO much potential. A vast, beautiful world. Souls-like combat which actually fits the atmosphere for once (SAO is one of the few franchises I actually agree that the Dark Souls combat fits really well considering how much the combat in the anime mirrors dark souls with their dodging, occasionally rolling, and attacking). The Death Game Mode was the icing on top too. I was looking forward to it the most, because this is one of the few franchises where a save wipe happening on death fits the theme. All that said, the game is not worth the price tag. This is yet again another burn on my part. I pre ordered it even though I learned my lesson on No Mans Sky and Cyberpunk 2077. And while both of those games are far better than they were on launch, I still can't get past the scars they left from the initial release. This game is the same. We were promised open world gameplay. You are forced down a wide yet hollow path. Any attempt to leave the guided path is met with warnings and occasionally a teleport. The NPCs are all shallow generic back ground anime characters. None of them are unique, and the ones that are remotely so are just generically unique ("I'm a generic man but secretly I'm actually a woman" trope). None of the weapons are unique despite SAO having unique weapons in the game. The story isn't remotely interesting. I stopped paying attention after the third mission after the prologue. And the prologue. Oh my god the prologue. 2 hours of one dungeon "teaching" you the mechanics. It should absolutely be skippable, and the Death Game Mode should only take affect AFTER you join SAO, not during the Beta. (If you die in the Beta portion during the Death Game Mode, it wipes your data) I looked forward to this game for months, and got super excited when the day came. I had so much hope for it. Yet, the game failed to deliver. It not only failed, it lied to our faces the entire time. Steam should give back refunds to every person that bought this game, regardless of hours put into it. Bandai should be ashamed of themselves and give out a public apology for this travesty they dare call a game. Never in all my life have I been this disappointed in a game.
very good game, i hope they continue to add floors to future dlcs
Leider wird das Potential, welches ein SA:O "MMO-artiges" Spiel bietet, nicht genutzt. Es ist ein flaches Möchtegern-Soulslike mit Schlauchleveln. Und selbst die Schlauchlevel sind eingeschränkt, je nachdem welches Level/Quest man gerade spielt. Sehr enttäuschend. Als 10€ Titel wäre es einen zweiten Blick wert.
Für SAO Liebhaber ein must have und das aktuell beste SAO Game, für Leute die den Anime nicht kennen, würde ich es nicht empfehlen, es kann Repetive wirken und nichts besonderes.
J'ai adoré jouer a ce jeu! L'histoire est poussé, on aime les personnages, le système d'évolution est adéquat, facile à comprendre. En tant que Fan de SAO, je ne peux pas dire que j'ai été déçu, le seul Hic que je peux admettre c'est parfois la longueur des missions, mais moi qui aime prendre mon temps et explorer, ce n'était pas un problème.
Gdybym chciał tą grę obiektywnie ocenić to zdecydowanie dałbym negatywna recenzje(gra nie warta ceny) Plusy gierki: -combat system pozwalajacy na duża różnorodność dzięki sword skillom które można ciekawie łączyć -duża różnorodność buildów dzięki ex-modom(choć duża część jest totalnie bezużyteczna to można się fajnie pobawić) -fabuła gdyby nie była losowo zakończona to też byłaby całkiem przyjemna -death game mode(tutaj spędziłem połowe mojego czasu jednak nie jest to tryb dla każego) -odwzorowanie swiata SAO(fabuły z anime) konflikt beta testerów z nowymi graczami i przerażenie graczy to jest fajnie zilustorwane postać kirito też jest spoko mam nadzieje że w dlc dodadzą kolejne piętra i zilustruja konflikt tych 2 gildi(2 proggresive movie chyba to był) To na tyle z plusów teraz minusy: -open world chodzenie po znacznikach od skrzynki do skrzynki od checkpointa do checkpointa miasta są nieżywe mimo losowych npców nie da się usłyszeć żadnych rozmów(nawet tych nie zrozumiałych) generalnie npc w miastach są jak ruszajacę się meble szczerze dało się to lepiej zrobić -losowe śmierci gra jest co najmniej nieprzewidywalna jestem w stanie losowo dostać oneshota od bylejakiego przeciwnika a postać po jednym hicie może nie być wstanie wstać przez następne 5s jest to frustrujące przynajmniej na death game modzie -postać, brak dialogu i tylko kiwanie głową to coś z czego gry już wyszły dawno temu postać tylko odzywa się aby krzyczeć lub użyć umiejętności partnera mimika postaci wygląda robotycznie -druga część fabuły jest zrushowana i zakończona dosyć losowo wiele wątków jak narazie jest niedokończonych(np Arne, postać Wyzemana jakos ucieka(nie wiem czy dialogu nie skipnołem czy coś ale jakoś się kolega zgubił)(pewnie zrobią dlc jako cash graba i tam to zostanie dokończone jednak teraz to jest duży minus) -side questy po prostu są takie puste i mdłe(są wyjatki questy kirito i reszty są spoko i jeszcze pare) -walki z bossami nie mają takiej wagi do siebie grajac w elden ringa czułem że walcze z kimś a tutaj to bossy to przerośnieta koza, jasne są one spoko ale mogło by byc pare ciekawszych dla przełamania -brak walki z innymi graczami(prócz musoha ale to jest scripted nawet tego nie licze)potencjał tutaj jest ogromny np side quest z jakims PK(mogli stworzyc na 2 piętrze pare losowych PK) -wybor w side questach i fabule zmieniajacy przebieg wydarzen brak tego to duza strata -mało klas broni jak na to ile SAO oferowało ale słyszałem że maja zamiar dodać nowe więc to tylko chwilowy minus Póki co to na tyle daje pozytywna recenzje bo mimo niedociągnięć jestem fanem SAO i podoba mi się gra jednak dla innych polecam ją kupić na jakiejś przecenie 50% minimum bo 300 zł to jest gruba przesada(warto pobrać moda potato graphics dla użytkowników słabszych komputerów takich jak ja)
Déjà 10 heures de jeu et j’apprécie toujours ! Se replonger dans le monde de SAO est super ! Plusieurs modes de difficulté pour s'adapter à chacun. Farming à réaliser comme dans un MMORPG (positif ou négatif en fonction de votre point de vue) Les armes et armures sont modifiables uniquement en ville, ce qui n'est pas pratique.
太拉了，日本就这生产力吗
1. Das Spiel ist mittelmäßig gut 28 stunden auf P5 Pro gespielt bis Ebene 2 2. Grafik ist auch schön besonders Ebene 2 3. Nervige unnötige Wege doppelt laufen. Am meisten nervig war es beim ersten Ebene 1 Boss als er erledigt war und man auf ebene 2 kommt. Und anstatt bei Ebene 2 weiter zu spielen wie jedes normale spiel sagt der Entwickler ne darf nochmal sinnlos denn Weg zu Ebene 2 laufen weil die Story sagt wir haben es nicht aus eigener kraft geschafft und müssen stärker werden. 4. Ebene 2 endlich etwas neuere Gegner. 5. Waffen und die Waffen Skills sehen gut aus (einziger Grund warum ich es weiterspiele und die Story zu sehen). 6. Charktere Editor ist hässlich da haben die anderen spiele von der Spieleserie ein besseren. 7. Spielt sich eher wie Elden Ring Night Rain immer die selbe Map und Gegner und Bosse (langweilig). 8. Das beste ist an denn Spiel der Film der dabei ist ich finde ihn sehr gut. (Hoffe kommt irgendwann auf Disc heraus damit man nicht gezwungen ist das spiel zu kaufen)
