[4][5][6] Some fans express disappointment that the game does not deliver the SAO experience they hoped for. [7][8][9]

Yes, its good enough. However, it is a very expensive game for being about a 6/10. Combat feels ok, story so far seems fine. If you are not a fan of the anime, I could see this game being not for you. If you are a fan, waiting for a discount would probably be the move. I am enjoying the game enough to recommend this game. The price however is too much for what the game is. Also, I have a decent PC, I will attach my …

It's hard to review a game like this after just an hour, but I did play the demo. The game is fun, and the combat is rewarding. It takes a bit of time to master it. Playing on Keyboard and mouse leaves a bit to be desired. I haven't tried it with a controller but I am assuming they intend for that. I'll be giving that a shot later. If you compare this to any other SAO game it's miles better than any of those. If you …

I absolutely HATE seeing "leaving quest area" and being teleported back into a zone. This is supposedly a game that "encourages exploration", however you cant leave the town without being on a quest, you cant walk outside of the quest zone. if you do you get forcefully zoned back in. Everything worth "exploring" is 3 seconds off a road, chests are mapped for you so you never miss them or have to search, and you're …

Echoes of Aincrad A $30 game wearing a $70 price tag. How do you take one of the most iconic settings in anime—a 100-floor death game where every floor is a new world waiting to be explored—and somehow make it feel boring? That's Echoes of Aincrad. I came in expecting an open-world RPG where I could lose myself exploring Aincrad, discovering hidden areas, fighting unique monsters, and carving out my own story. …

The SAO Game We Wanted... But Not What We Got: For over decade, fans have been begging for the definitive Sword Art Online experience like Fatal Bullet. Echoes of Aincrad promises to deliver that dream, but instead, it hands players a shallow, hollow, and fundamentally unfinished mess. A Massive, Empty World Deliberately Built for DLC. The game features two massive floors, but "massive" quickly translates to …

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another overpriced polished turd by bandai namco, yet again. The game prologue is just long enough and filled with filler to prevent you to ask for a refund. And then after that you realized that the game is the equivalent of a bad indie game wrapped with "AAA" budget. - You pretty much kill so much boars, wolf and bees. I think I have probably destroyed Aincrad animal ecosystem. - Interesting unique set of skills for each weapon... until you realize you are lock with only 3 "special attack"…

Run around vast stretches of land with nothing that happens within them, ever. Be completely inconsequential and have no ability to interact with any actual plot. Do not Fish, Do not eat, Do not start a guild. Do not discover any powers or abilities or secrets anyone else didn't get to first. Do not ever do anything that matters to a world that doesn't care about you,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For the SAO fans. Its not the game you actually want. Its an alright game not worth $70. Dont understand why the trees go invisible whenever i walk up to them or when i can walk through a log. Trees dont block enemy attacks, so cant use the surrounding area to your advantage. Not truly an Open-World. Tbh the demo was more exciting than the actual game to me. Dont seem to be able to change Partners gear other than main weapon, no armor or shield. TLDR- Not actually Aincrad like the anime. Not…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Leaving this review pains me, because I really hoped this time Bandai Namco would give us a decent SAO game. I waited to complete the game in Very Hard - Death Game Mode before leaving a review, to make sure I experienced everything the game had to offer before, instead of leaving one after 30ish hours like I first wanted to do. The game has a lot of flaws, and I agree with the vast majority of the reviews I read. I'll list a number of thoughts in no-particular order and they can be both…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →10/10 — Finally, an SAO Game That Protects You From Aincrad I was worried this game might let me freely explore the world, discover things naturally, or experience some kind of adventure. Thankfully, the developers understood that freedom is stressful, so every new area is safely locked behind a random quest. You don’t just walk into the next zone because you’re curious. That would be reckless. First, you speak to an NPC, accept an objective, and receive temporary government authorization to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Over 100 Hours Later... Here's My Honest Opinion As someone who has invested over 100 hours into Sword Art Online: Echoes of Aincrad, I can confidently say this game has one thing that kept me playing despite its flaws: it made me want to keep exploring Aincrad. I'm a huge Sword Art Online fan. I've watched the anime multiple times, enjoyed the movies, and always wanted another chance to experience Aincrad. That's why I bought this game, and despite its shortcomings, I don't regret it.…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →*GAME REFUNDED* Rince and repeat running simulator. 2 shot enemies on very hard difficulty except elites and bosses. Fights and exploration feels unrewarding. World is empty, only mobs, can't interact with any NPCs except 2 vendors. No reason to explore town when you can fast travel to everything. With all this it gets boring quickly FOR ME. Need around 5h of gameplay before we can create our own character. Graphics are nice tho. Im just sad because I'm sure the story is very intresting.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Second edit: So we got the first bigger patch note, and I wanted to mention this in my review. OMG, what did we get after all these complaints? HELL YEAH... A BALANCE PATCH!!!! My disappointment is immesaruable. The team devastatingly showed they have absolutely no intention improving the game fundamentally. They promised "future balance patches etc". THANK YOU, and THANK YOU AGAIN!!! Now I can comfortably leave all my expectations and say that this game absolutely lost all hope, it is never…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →4/10 Positives: Combat and graphics Negatives: $70 price tag, too many reskins, not open world, crafting and shops are pointless. I really wanted to like this game. The combat and graphics are nice, but beyond that the game is really lacking, which is why I just can't recommend it at this price. If this had been a $30 game, I'd probably have a lot less of an issue with it. To add insult to injury, there's a lot of reskinning with the bosses and dungeons. The freedom of exploration, or…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Play the demo first. I thought "You're leaving the quest area" message was just for the demo. I thought I'd be able to explore the map in the full release. Nope. You have to go from town gate, straight to the objective. This is a hallway simulator with 7 different monsters and a sprinkle of plot. I'm good.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →unless this game is on sale for $1 DON'T buy it's overpriced to hell and back, has an empty "open" world, and excluding bosses you'll be fighting the same enemies with different color palettes seriously if you have $70 spend it on something else this game is ♥♥♥♥
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was really looking forward to this game and was disappointed that it only has 2 floors, however now that I have played most of it, THANK GOD it only has 2 floors. The level designs are so boring and lazy it felt like a chore to explore and navigate. The reused bosses were very cheap and sad to see. This is the first time I ever gone out of my way to leave a negative review because I needed to get this out of my system after so much anticipation xD I would only ever recommend this game if you…

neutral · AI labelView post →I wish I could give this game a neutral review button. But I can’t so here’s a positive but real review. It’s not so much an RPG as an action game with RPG aspects. For instance, no open world, no real exploration or reason for exploration. Barely any dialogue options and they all basically mean the same thing regardless. No main character voiced and honestly in this game you’re not even the main character. Just some guy. The only part about this game worth a damn is the gameplay, which is a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This review contains Endgame Mentions and Spoilers. 📜 Additionally, I have all the game's achievements and cleared on Very Hard mode. 5/10 - It is utterly disappointing what Bandai is doing to the SAO IP. Two SAO games released in a row and both are flops (the other being Fractured Daydream). It's becoming clear that because the IP is so large, Bandai thinks they can put less effort. Basically pulling a Ubisoft and their AC IP; has great games at first, but now the quality is just horrid.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've never felt quite so disrespected or duped by a game in many years. It fails so spectacularly in nearly all of its goals in such a way that I had to post here. Note: I took this game to near completion, I'm not sure out of spite or sunken cost or whatever but let's get into it. The game starts strong. The beta test angle was good, good intro, good transition into game at large. However, much like many others who played this, this is where I was tricked. The intro is just long enough…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →$110 and tbh its not worth the price. $30 at most for base game and $40 for Ultimate would have been a better price. I excepted open world exploration. Large world since its only two floors. What we got was vvery limited straightforward missions. Go here. Do that. Oh you went outside the quest area TP you back. No fishing. No crafting. No cooking. No skills tree. No meaningful progression. No love interest? No rent. No nothing. $30 at most. Wait for a sale in a month or two. Genuinely…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is what happens when you have a good idea to start with, and then go through countless meetings and no one has the balls to tell the dumb one his idea was trash knowing the corpo's are thrice as stupid. This is essentially predatory. I'm sure i'm not the only SAO fan that longs to explore that castle in the sky, all 100 floors, with actual game design, rather than rushed cash grabs from producers who probably can't even make their own breakfast. The graphics are great, the world we see is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The negatives of this game have been detailed well enough through a lot of other reviews so it feels like beating a dead horse explaining the poor design choices in exploration, questing, story animations, etc. Take everyone's word for it. If it's on sale and you love the series give it a shot but know full well that this game has a lot of flaws. As a fan, I genuinely hope one day they will nail the feeling of Aincrad and the SAO universe. It seems impossible to believe that Bandai will coerce…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I done all story quest, side quest and 100% chest with Very Hard difficult in 65 hours. All other play hours I was collecting my achievement because after you done a story quest line it only 2-3 more achievement left. This game has a potential as sword art online IP but a price isn't for a potential game. ---{ Graphics }--- ☐ Beautiful ☐ Good ☑ Decent ☐ Bad I think this game graphic quality is good but element are weird make some scene or map environment look decent. Character model…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I never wrote a review before even for games i liked or hated but this one is needed to warn others that the game is just that bad. I read some of the negative review of it and they are right. I finished everything and got all the achievements. Too many bad things to list about the base game so I'll just say these few bad things. Buy this game in about 10 years later but they will probably add only 10 more floors by then. Finished the 'story' and it felt like they took a lot of advice from…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hello! i would like to preface with i like SAO as a series, I have played most of the games in the series and think this game could have been really good if the team had been given more time to work on it. I have completed this game in its entirety, except for a couple achievements. I'm going to list my main gripes and issues I've had. There will be spoilers, so continue with caution. 1. The story progression is rushed and makes the emotional scenes with characters just not hit. I especially…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →***Disclaimer*** I AM THUMBS DOWNING THIS PRIMARILY BECAUSE IT IS OVERPRICED ***Disclaimer*** Firstly, absolutely try the demo before buying this game. The prologue/tutorial can potentially eat up most or all of your 2 hour refund window. The demo covers the prologue and also gives you a taste for what the rest of the game is going to be like. There is a great game hidden here... buried beneath a mountain of poor and lazy development decisions. This is not the SAO Self insert game that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Everyone who says this game is hard and a Soulslike is just delusional. The game mechanics are on the level of a gacha game, or sometimes even below that. Its not worth 70€ If you really want to play it, wait for a sale... or be creative.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Half a positive review for a game half finished. If you want a bit more info: Story is mid and end in the middle of nowhere. Gameplay is ok but repetitive. The Open World map cut into tiny pieces is stupid.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First of all, I want to say how much I regret pre-ordering this game. I don't think I’ve ever been more disappointed by a game. It is vastly overpriced, its actual value is around 20–25 euros. Not to mention that, in every respect, it feels like a game from 2010. I no longer see any chance of us ever getting a Sword Art Online game that truly does the series justice.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"My grandmother was killed by a boar, I'd like you to kill five of them!" I played the Demo. I was internally laughing and screaming at how bad this is. This comes from someone who played Fatal Bullet and Lost Song. Let me start by talking about the notoriously hideous tutorial segment: There are people who formally study game design. People who spend like five years or so learning the basics, people who are veterans in the branch with over 10 years of experience. They all had time to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is fun, repeatitive but fun, if you're not an SAO fan, stay away there is many better game. If this game was 30$ it would be a positive review, but clearly not worth the current pricing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just stick with the demo if you want to try it -- the main game is basically 100% filler. The 'story' is a joke, with no payoff for any of the characters/story arcs they set up. There's no ending, the game just gets tired and plays the credits. Then there's an optional end boss, where beating it leads straight to credits, a pointless monologue about how your character is cool, and an ad for DLC. Characters teased as villains as early as the beta never have an impact on the story, and may…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Review will contain spoilers related to the characters and storyline. As a big SAO fan, I had a lot of hype for this game. The concept was right up my alley with it taking place in Aincrad and being a fake MMORPG. The demo was great, the world & graphics are beautiful, the customization of clothing and character appearance was a massive plus, and the hype around the franchise had me excited. Just to be clear, I knew the gameplay would not have everything the anime/manga/light novel would. I…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is incredibly lack luster and feels soulless. Exploration (if you can even call it that) is extremely tedious. You need to get to the checkpoint in the area to reveal the map of that area, which then reveals chest locations. The map hardly distinguishes elevation so you will still be lost at times because you took the wrong path at the branch. The first floor is okay in this regard as it's mostly flat but the second floor is a maze. The chest rewards are 95% of the time not worth the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was really excited about this game because I, like many others, watched the anime & always wanted a game similar to it. Yeah, no. I have NEVER reviewed any games out of the several years I've been on Steam & this is a HUGE let down. I was so disappointed that I got the game refunded. I am REALLY hoping for improvements in the future because this game has some GREAT potential to be what the community WANTS it to be. Until that happens, I'm steering clear from it. I don't like the option that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Let’s just get straight to the point. I do not recommend this game at all. From a SAO fan and a gamer with an open mind, to other potential SAO fans and other fellow gamers out there, as much as I hate to say it, avoid this game, or if you are seriously curious, get it on a STEEP sale. We're talking 90% off here at least. For those thinking this might be a good entry point into the SAO game series or SAO in general, it isn’t. I recommend just playing the previous SAO games, reading the Light…

Speed ran the game like i do with tons, feel like i wasted half my playtime repeating the same 2 generic layouts. Exploration is pointless, so much effort for nothing, all drops are set so you can google for an item and just ignore the rest. Enemies are bland and repeat, i love fighting the same enemy in the tutorial as i do at the end of the game.... Not worth the price, even 50% off feels like too much, just go buy .hack…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I spent 8 hours in this empty game and I was incredibly bored for all of them. There is nothing to do in this game besides kill enemies, buy items, and listen to the boring banter of your teammates. If i could get a refund I would.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simple review - Way to much cut out the game to launch on time. combat is pretty fun but scaling and Monster balance is off. Most mobs are 1 shots, elites are a couple skill uses and bosses are about 3 rotations of skills ( only due to them not taking damage between each stage). Only real deaths will be from cheap status effects or stun locks which are both simple counter. Crafting is not worth having at all and the REAL ISSUE is map exploration and chests. you will spend about 80%..... ok…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After having played through the level 1 Labyrinth I sure as hell am glad these devs did not get the chance to develop the other 98 levels.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can only really recommend this for the die hard fans and even then wait for it to go on sale, like 75% off kind of sale. For a game that emulates a MMO it feels emptier than my dm's on my birthday. No job system; fishing, cooking, smithing, alchemy, etc.... non existent. There are a few very impersonable merchants you buy ♥♥♥♥ off of. There is zero reason to run around town as there is an in town fast travel. Not that youre missing much because there is only four areas of interest. I…

With that in mind, if a game needs mods to be more enjoyable as a result, it does speak about the mediocrity of the game overall. ================================== I really wish Steam had a "Mixed" recommendation option, because that's exactly how I feel about this game. Echoes of Aincrad gets so many things right that I can't help but see just how much potential it leaves on…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For a $70 game, I expected a lot more than this. I honently wouldn't mind a $70-90 price tag at all if the game were actually good Let's start with the character models. NPCs look worse than a gacha game from 2020. Why doesn't the face skin tone even match the rest of the body? Then there's the mute MC. It's 2026, and this game still ships with a silent protagonist whose entire "acting" during dialogue is just shaking or nodding their head at dialogue options, even watching a friend die gets…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it is ok game but it need some improvement : - able to free roam without doing quest - change equipment outside of the town - improving character customization because it's UGLY AF, i never see anime character preset is ugly like this game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love the SaO universe, and genuinely enjoy the "in the gamer's world" as the gamer concept. However, once again this game falls short for me. At first I glossed over the issues I had as "they'll smooth out"; that wasn't the case. A lot about this installment I found enjoyable- creating my character, upgrading my gear/stats, the way they would have in the SaO Season 1 story. My issues are: - Character creation has zero height adjustment. They say it's because of cutscenes, etc, but this is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What I Liked Overall I had a fun time playing through the whole story. The combat is enjoyable and kept me interested from start to finish, and I liked being able to customize my character, even if I wish there had been a lot more options. I also enjoyed revisiting Aincrad and seeing the different floors. As a Sword Art Online fan, it was fun experiencing that world again, even if it wasn't exactly what I was hoping for. What I Didn't Like The story was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dull, empty and boring. Do not buy unless its on sale for 40-60% off. The dev's really didn't put much into this game so I can not see why anyone should pay a AAA price when its a clear budget title. I was going to wait on my review until I finished but its way to boring of a game and easy on normal that its hard to play with other better titles out there. - Dull world/town - Same enemy type. (I'm sick of fighting so many boars). - Very easy - Bland music. - Price for what the game offers.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you are a Sword Art Online fan, buy it. Is a nice enough experience with the locales you get to visit like the Town of Beginnings, the Labyrinth. Is all really spot on. However, if you are not a fan, don't bother. Skip it. As a game is a very flawed game. PS: Thumbs down and all, I'm still playing this to the end. I'm an SAO fool. What can I say? I was 40hrs in when I wrote the above. I just finished the game at 106hrs. Totally NOT worth it. Don't buy it! Don't Waste your money. Yes I'm…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Keeping it to the point, this game is unfinished - playing the demo perfectly shows the gameplay loop, types of environments you'll see etc. so play that and see if you like it then consider the below. You can carry over progress so don't worry about wasted time. (Also do not bother with deathgame mode, your time is more valuable than that, you don't get anything for beating it so just ignore it) The game simply ends after a certain point of your parties quest, you complete a dungeon that in…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Objectively a C-Tier jrpg, low B at best. Subjectively probably one of my top 10 favorite games. Worth it on sale, I'd like to say full price but I honestly just can't without knowing just how much of an SAO stan you are personally. Pros: - Aincrad + Character Creation = Win - Beautiful atmosphere - Satisfying (though repetitive) combat ainmations - UI actually based on SAO - Temu Elden Ring gameplay Cons: - Supporting cast of the roleplayer from Asuna's guild in the Abridged…

Not like Kirito who changes by inventory. Scripted losses and loss duel to a forced party member for you who is suppose to be a powerful player. Railroad.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The prologue was unbearable to get through, the character creation is really bad and it takes forever to get to, combat feels the same and very boring and bare bones no matter what weapon you choose.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is just an impossible game to recommend to anybody, literally. Which is an absolute shame, because you do see the potential this game had, the game is absolutely beautiful, the combat from your side is well integrated within the SAO world and it is fun to play, the worldbuilding is interesting, and the build variety is very good. Like the potential is incredible, but I wouldn't even recommend it to a SAO fan, SO MANY moronic decisions that absolutely do NOT make for an enjoyable experience…
