Toward the end of the game, after completing a couple of event quests with Lisbeth, she gives Kirito a one-of-a kind ring she crafted, before whispering “someday I’ll get his attention.” These are not healthy relationships, people. “If you like them, I could keep them on all the time for you,” says girlfriend Asuna, in a desperate attempt to regain Kirito’s wandering eyes. At one point all of the girls, including Kirito’s pseudo-sister and Yuuki, whom he met five minutes ago, are trying on cat ear accessories to try to impress him. Many of the character interactions are driven by Kirito’s relationships with his faithful harem. By the time you play through everything, you’ll see each of the bosses several times. Even more unfortunately, the bosses start getting recycled as well expect only slightly altered mechanics, a paint job, extra health and damage, and an annoyance buff that always hits for critical strikes. The dungeons will seem VERY familiar, as the layouts are reused heavily. After clearing the initial three areas, players can fly even higher than they could initially, unlocking two higher dungeons in each zone. Quests take players through meadow, desert and ice areas, clearing dungeons and defeating boss monsters, before finally bringing them Dark world. Players follow the initial questline, racing against the massive Shamrock guild to be the first group to clear Svart Alfheim. New characters include Seven, a 12-year-old MIT grad, world-famous pop idol, head of the powerful ALO guild Shamrock and leading mind on virtual reality research (she didn’t leave much for her 20s, did she?), Rain, a super stalker with hidden skills and a secret past, and Sumeragi, Seven’s bodyguard and supreme tough guy. All of the main characters from SAO return here, including those from Hollow Fragment. Players can change their party members, store gear, and view a gallery of story images and cutscenes at the inn.

The game has been updated with a high-level area, called Svart Alfheim, and is filled with new mythical enemies and Norse gods to contend with.Īfter brief movement and combat tutorials, players are introduced to the Flying City of Ryne, a home base complete with an item shop, a tavern to create characters and pick up quests, and a smithy to identify, purchase and upgrade weapons. A few months after the events of Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment, Kirito and friends are jumping back into the new fairy-themed virtual reality MMO, Alfheim Online.
#SWORD ART ONLINE LOST SONG RATING SERIES#
The game recaps the events of SAO in the form of Kirito’s internal monologues, so players who are unfamiliar with the series can still connect the dots. Instead of escaping from SAO after Kirito defeated game creator Akihiko Kayaba, players remained trapped in the game, alongside characters like Leafa and Sinon, who never played the game in the original material. Lost Song follows a storyline divergent from the original narrative. Lost Song has taken major steps toward improving mechanics, but falls well short on providing both a compelling story and content. The previous title, Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment, received mediocre reviews due to its unwieldy controls and superficial storyline. Developed by Bandai Namco, the action-RPG is the third game in the series, which originated as a Japanese light novel and manga, and was adapted into a popular anime.
Sword Art Online: Lost Song launched on PlayStation 4 and PS Vita today in North America, following a Friday release in Europe.
