Critic Reviews for Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream

It's not the definitive SAO game everyone was hoping for, but it's not a bad title either. With a simple but effective combat system, a well-chosen character selection, and an art style to match, perhaps its biggest burden is a repetitive mission structure, which ends up weighing down the whole experience.

Sword Art Online Fractured Daydream is a clear love letter to fans of the anime series, putting a large number of recognizable characters within the same story and also a huge amount of content that will not let us let go of the controller during the long game sessions that we will be able to throw at it, giving us a really fun anime game that surprises in some other section such as the wide variety of character classes.

As a tribute to the franchise it's not bad, but as a game in general, there are more interesting proposals on the market, whether it's a JRPG or a hack and slash. However, those who don't mind repetition can enjoy it. This is where the line is drawn to decide whether or not to buy the product.

Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream is a pretty fun and entertaining multiplayer game for fans of the series. Sadly the appeal doesn’t reach farther than that.

SWORD ART ONLINE Fractured Daydream is a love letter to the Sword Art Online franchise. You get to play your favourite characters from both Sword Art Online and Sword Art Online Alternative Gun Gale Online, in a story that unites both worlds. It's compelling and it adds shock value, especially if you follow the anime or light novel. In addition, the multiplayer campaign is well-built as it encourages teamwork and knowledge of your chosen character. Lastly, there is an incentive to play the game over and over as the in-game achievements challenge you to achieve the highest score and learn what happens to your favourite characters.

This Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream is probably among the best titles dedicated to the series released in recent years, although it must be said that the bar was really low. Die-hard fans of the series will love the fact that they can experience a story that unites all the main characters of the series and the possibility of controlling many of them, twenty-one in total. The problem, however, is that the game also has many flaws, including repetitive missions with very basic objectives and a combat system that in its mechanics is satisfied with sufficiency. Despite this, the multiplayer is fun, especially thanks to boss fights that can be faced in 20 players and which become a riot of explosions and colors.

Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream is a competent offline and online RPG, with fun gameplay and a lot of fanservice. However, the title is lost due to the simplicity of the missions and scenarios, in addition to the repetitiveness of its activities and an excessively aggressive monetization.

Bandai Namco is forging the iron while hot and not letting the SAO series go to rest. Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream is the next installment in a series of games aimed at fans of the series, whether they wanted it or not.
