Echoes of Aincrad

Now Im not going to glaze this game, but i will say a lot of people are extremely critical of this game. This game is not perfect by any means, but the one thing i will give it for sure is that it is a stepping stone in the right direction. This is the TYPE of game we have been wanting for SAO but the game just needs more polish. If the creators are willing to listen to some of the things we are saying, this game can turn into an absolute goldmine for them and us. Now for my review: Pros: -The combat feels weighted for each style of weapon and makes you feel like you are doing damage. -The scenery is pretty and feels really good to look around and just see the world. -You can genuinely make your character overpowered but at the same time get humbled pretty quickly. -Character isnt the main character, more of a side buuuut you arent just a Kirito clone and that feels refreshing for an SAO game. -The armor customizing is pretty neat with different looks and color combos. -Ally AI is actually decent with fighting and can take care of themselves which is refreshing because you can mainly focus on just keeping yourself alive. -Permadeath mode is actually kinda hard and sticks to what it means for real lol Cons: -The enemy types are pretty repetitive -Not being able to switch gear in the world is a crime, especially since it shows Kirito doing it straight after the floor boss. -Map can be confusing to read with different elevations when you are trying to get the chests and pathways unlocked. -Ally AI talking is very repetitive to the point where sometimes you wish they would not talk at all. -Game exploration is quest based. The game should allow you a free roam type at some point. All in all i would recommend this game to anyone who genuinely loves SAO but i would definitely wait for a sale. 70$ price tag is kinda rough, but i do think the game is worth playing at least a bit. This game could be a great stepping stone for future SAO games that are coming out/DLC for this game adding floors and enemy types. overall 6.5-7/10

Un très bon jeu pour les fans de SAO : ambiance réussie, combat fun et progression satisfaisante

Nach circa 50 Stunden Spielzeit bin ich leider zum Ergebnis gekommen dass dieses Spiel die ganze zeit den selben loop hat von A nach B laufen Monster töten Truhen finden und das die ganzen 50 h die Geschichte selber wäre vielleicht ein ticken besser gewesen wenn der Main Character eine Persönlichkeit gehabt hätte und mal redet anstatt die ganze zeit seinen Kopf zu bewegen. Mein Fazit zu dem Spiel wenn ihr es holen wollt kauft es im Sale die 70 Euro sind es nicht wert für dieses Spiel

If you are diving into Echoes of Aincrad, manage your expectations: this is a linear JRPG framework, not an open-world sandbox. The game shines brightest in its combat, which delivers a heavy, rewarding Souls-like tension. Where it stumbles is the exploration and narrative presentation. The environmental design quickly loses its charm, as the caves and dungeons feel heavily cut and paste with repetitive layouts. Furthermore, the game relies on the classic silent protagonist trope, but the execution falls flat. Your character is entirely unexpressive; their reactions are limited to generic head nods and shakes that feel incredibly bland and devoid of emotion. It makes the story hard to invest in, even though the core combat loop is stellar. Overall, I recommend playing this game, but not at full price. Wait until it goes on sale.

El juego me parece repetitivo, la misma misión de desbloquear zonas de un mapa ( mapa que está delimitado por la misión y si te sales no te deja ir por ese camino) en el que tienes que abrir cofres y llegar a l punto final y matar un jefe de la zona. No hay misiones de mata 15 jabalies, consigue 5 guijones de abejas, escolta a X persona, etc... nada, solo recorrerte un mapa a pie para desbloquear su safety Area y saber donde están los cofres y abrirlos... No hay cocina, cosa que desde el inicio en la serie ya se ve que hay misiones que te permiten conseguir ingredientes para añadirselo a la comida. Pero es que tampoco hay para comprar comida que te pueda llegar a subir stats o darte algunos efectos de resistencia al fuego, sueño, etc... Tampoco hay parry si vas solo con un arma a una mano, el parry solo se puede hacer con escudo. Tienes que esquivar para poder hacer el switch. Que pasa que en la serie no se ve que puedes hacer parrys con la espada y hacer el switch? Y ya lo último que me ha terminado de rematar. En la pelea del Jefe del primer piso (aparte de que el diseño del Illfang el Señor Kobold no es fiel, pero bueno podría tener un pase) te obligan a detener a los centinelas del jefe y toda tu pelea se resume en estar en un espacio reducido de la sala en el que no puedes pasar a otras zonas porque hay una barrera visible que te lo impide y en el que no puedes interactuar nada con el jefe ni los otros npcs que han ido a derrotarlo. El que haya tenido la idea de hacer esa pelea así no tiene ni idea de videojuegos. Porque ya no me dejan devolverlo, si no, pedía el reembolso por semejante aberración de videojuego.

The game is honestly pretty boring. It feels more like an Early Access title than a finished product. You can't customize your weapons, and the inventory serves almost no purpose other than looking pretty. Want to change your equipment? You have to go back to the inn. Want to allocate your stat points? You have to go back to the inn. Why do I have to hold the **V** key just to interact with a merchant when a single press would do the job? The finisher animations that suddenly change the camera angle are incredibly annoying. The skill keybindings are poorly designed as well—you can't remap a skill to a single key and are instead forced to use combinations like **Ctrl + another key**. Even now, I still don't understand why this game is priced the way it is. This is the worst game I've played in over 20 years of gaming. Now I understand why so many people send threatening emails to game publishers after playing a terrible game.

look a trasure chest!
