Accel World VS Sword Art Online Reviews
An enjoyable, engrossing adventure in two of my favourite worlds.
Accel World vs. Sword Art Online is a fairly magnificent little JRPG that surprised me with its depth of characters and customizable options within, and a world where I can fly, explore, and battle dozens of monsters along the way. I'm reminded so much of the golden PlayStation 2 era of JRPG gaming, with all the good and some of the bad that comes with that distinction. Overall, Accel World vs. Sword Art Online is a very solid JRPG title and one that any fan of the genre will enjoy.
This action RPG may not seem up everyone's alley with it being a crossover of two anime series, but it's a good time even without knowledge of these franchises.
An intriguing story premise and refreshing fast paced combat keeps Accel World vs. Sword Art Online from becoming another dull action RPG.
Overall, this action RPG is just up my street. Everything I want from an anime based series, familiar and charming characters, new roster of characters to engage with, old but new lands to explore and a solid combat system that is pretty simple to grasp.
The video game equivalent of a summer popcorn movie.
Fun and direct, Accel World vs. Sword Art Online is an interesting crossover that offers douzens of hours of intense gameplay, flying skills and an intense story with hours of static dialogues on screen.

Accel World vs. Sword Art Online is a competent action role-playing game offering a simple yet solid combat system, good story and characters and plenty of content. Due to the very bland exploration and a couple of other issues, namely technical and controls issues on PlayStation Vita, the game can only be recommended to fans of both franchises.
Any fans of Reki Kawahara's work should definitely check out Accel World VS Sword Art Online. Not only is it the best playing Sword Art Online to date, it also has a great story that links the two world directly together. It all culminates in a fantastic twist ending that managed to finally get me invested in the world of SAO, which is something the previous games failed to do. It's also helped tremendously by the addition of Accel World characters, as they immediately caught my attention.
The story is fun and is one any veteran or newbie of this series will enjoy. The multiplayer adds lots of fun to the title and adds so much more time to the game if you enjoy it. The environments are bland and boring but overall this game is worth picking up just for the story alone.
In short we can say that the last effort of Bandai's home is a title that has interesting features on the one hand, but on the other it does not convince us 100%. Do you want for too much woody movements, whether for neglected graphic care, or for too much repetition of secondary games, we can not say that the title is a masterpiece. Despite this there are several aspects that we appreciated, the mix of two universes is well-managed, the character jokes are well-studied and even the story is definitely not that bad. Let's say that surely it is a title that should be played for such lovers but that, according to our advice, would be worth half price!

Accel World vs. Sword Art Online ist ein spaßiges Action RPG mit einer fesselnden Story und vielen spielbaren Charakteren. Die Charaktere aus beiden Serien spielen sich unterschiedlich und auch das Kämpfen an sich ist wirklich unterhaltsam. Zudem gibt es neben der Hauptstory auch viele kleine Nebenquests zu erledigen, Items zu sammeln und Charaktere zu leveln. Und zuallerletzt gibt es dann auch noch einen interessanten Multiplayer Modus. Dennoch gibt es einige Punkte, die den Spaß etwas dämpfen: So wirkt die Grafik leider sehr veraltet und auch das Quest- und Mutliplayer-System sowie die Steuerung könnte etwas benutzerfreundlicher sein. Leider gibt es bei Accel World vs. Sword Art Online also einiges an verschenktem Potenzial, jedem Fan von Sword Art Online und besonders auch von Accel World (oder beidem) kann ich das Spiel aber auf jeden Fall empfehlen. Alle anderen, die gerne Action RPGs oder Animes mögen, sollten aber auch einen Blick darauf werfen.

This game was fun and for anyone who is a fan of both series then I do recommend to atleast take a look at this game. I have always wanted an Accel World RPG game and this made me want one even more, but hopefully without Sword Art Online in the future.
Accel World Vs Sword Art Online is an interesting crossover between two of the most popular light novels in Japan, but only true fans of the series would be able to really appreciate it.

Accel World vs. Sword Art Online is not a bad game at all; actually I enjoyed it more than some of the previous games based on the series like Lost Song or Hollow Fragment. That being said, it doesn't stand as a memorable game by any means, but just as an entertaining action title. Nothing more nor less. Recomended for diehard fans of the series.

There will be a lot of people who will consider Accel World vs. Sword Art Online to be a good game, and as one of them, I am the most surprised by that.
This is definitely one that fans will love, but if your enthusiasm for Kawahara's work is lukewarm at best, then you may well want to look elsewhere.
Accel World vs. Sword Art Online offers more of the same to those who already sunk a decent amount of time into Sword Art Online: Lost Song, but the world is thoroughly rejuvenated by Accel World's fresh blood. By providing a serviceable story as a driving force and then honing in on meaningful character interactions, Millennium Twilight becomes essential for Reki Kawahara fans.
Accel World vs Sword Art Online: Millennium Twilight is the latest in the SAO series’ original entries. Merging both SAO and Accel World, it is up to both sets of characters to save Kirito and Asuna’s beloved Yui and both groups’ respective Online Worlds.
With tight controls and an enjoyable way to get around large areas, Accel World vs. Sword Art Online features memorable aerial combat. However, story progression can drag to a halt at times. Though perfect for fans of either series, this may not be the action RPG that anyone else asked for.
