Tried it on a whim with friends, went into it expecting basically nothing since non of use knew the game even existed until we saw it randomly on Steam. We were all pleasantly surprised, putting 4 hours into it without even noticing. Definitely getting it. It kinda feels like Relink to me, which is good. Also glad to see the devs already have a roadmap and have plans to support the game and keep players engaged. Relink was great, but it fell off extremely hard after the first month because they devs had 0 things planned for it after the first 2 patches and the end-game was almost non existent (just kill the same boss dozens of times while praying to get the weapon you wanted).
@f.b.l.981313 сағат бұрын
it kinda feels like Relink but nowhere near as good, SAO game's combat either feels floaty or stiff, they can never get the feel right, Relink's combat was smooth and fluid, in SAO, the movement feels clunky and the lack of animation cancel with dash makes it feel even stiffer. even Genshin impact, a free to play mobile game has smoother combat than this, which is a shame since i like SAO and wanted to play a new SAO game.

Tried the network test over the weekend, it was pretty fun for the mere 5hours that i played. However, the game has significant problems in its core gameplay system. Skills have generally poor feedback, atks dont feel rewarding, skill animations are just mediocre by current game standards. During the playtest, there are only 20man raids in which you start off in a zone in a party of 4. Players would proceed to clear some mobs and objectives in a rather linear path then unlock a portal which brings you to the boss room. The boss fight resembles a lot like blue protocol's boss fight for people who have tried out BP. The layout of zones are rather generic and boring, graphics of this SAO game arent even comparable to that of blue protocol. I have about 100hrs in SAO fatal bullet but fatal bullet was ahead of its time and also it had unique gameplay experience back when it was released. This game just gives me vibes of a blue protocol reskin with SAO characters and 20 man raid bosses feel like low skill, generic loot pinatas. By current game standards, i think this game is more suitable for SAO/anime fans, the boss fights had a lack of depth and 20man raids would undoubtedly just lead to matchmaking problems once the hype dies after the game's initial release. I sincerely hope that this game would have more to offer upon release but we'll have to see when oct comes.

Plus all this more Paid DLC's and game passes, demanding extra money, No this is a HARD pass for me, HARD pass. If a majority of the upcoming content becomes free, then I would be INTERESTED, at best, but other then that, No I'm pretty much done with SAO.

@Primo1her The characters are separate DLC and included in the Season Pass. Cash shops usually contain other stuff like skins. But they can also contain early unlocks, leveling boosts, skips, op weapons, upgrade materials, etc. They said no lootboxes. So no random gambling on gacha. But they could still put weapon packs or other scummy stuff in the cash shop to destroy the game balance and make it pay for power or faster progression. Which would suck.

I'm not sure if focusing so heavily on online play is a good idea for a SAO game. I don’t think the community is large enough to keep the online mode active for long. I think that for these niched games where online play is important, it should be integrated in the single player mode as an optional way to play. Just look at Granblue Fantasy: Relink. Thankfully, most of the content is easily playable in single-player because the online community has been pretty much dead for months. In this case, though, it seems like the online mode is the core part of the game, which makes me skeptical about whether this game will still be worth buying in a few months.

I don’t mind that it’s online… couple things kill it for me no character creation. I don’t wanna play the characters. I wanna play my character in the world with those characters.
