    An interesting concept circling around a virtual online RPG that is hidden behind a lackluster presentation.

    You need to fall in to a certain bracket to like this game. It is supposed to be Anime but I consider this to be more in the cartoon bracket. It has a very child friendly vibe. The conversations, the discussions are not dark and deep, they are light hearted and with little point to them. It is just happy fun.

    Combat is hack and slash, graphics are lovely. Yes not ground breaking detail, or best optimisation for that matter but it just makes a lovely world and the sound just goes perfectly.

    I find adventuring around open worlds completely boring. It is always over rated but I just enjoyed it here. I love that I can have a chat whilst playing my game and not losing track of either game, or conversation. I love that I can run around one handed whilst I sip my wine and then when see a baddy, put both hands back on.

    It is a lovely peaceful game. I have over 60 Switch games and this has remained in my top row of most played forever and it is one of the earliest games I bought for my Switch. To put this in perspective I have Stardew valley, which is on 3x the use because I have two kids that play that to death, Fire Emblem 3 Houses my favourite SRPG, Ys Origin my 2nd fav action adventure RPG and Garou Mark of the Wolves my favourite fighter ever are the only other games up there on the winners table with this. I think that speaks volumes.

    Not for everyone but if it is your cup of tea, you'll love it    … Full Review »

Not a bad one but I must say it goes from an action game to a visual novel with some action scenes. The voice acting is pretty good. But in all honestly this game did decently with the basis of the train wreck that is SAO. I played it and it can be fun. But sometimes it can be incredibly confusing and just give bad directions in general. I suggest that if you want to play this game you better bust out a guide.… Full Review »
