Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet

8/10

Sword Art Online (SAO) is a popular anime that has seen many games being developed from the IP to provide players the experience Kirito had. However, despite the number of SAO games that was released, none of them actually satisfies players due to the fact that it follows closely towards the story in the anime which means – it’s predictable. As an RPG where players are immersed into a VRMMORPG – the creator, Dimps, has put in their effort which allows us to feel natural and play as anot...

Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet could have been an exceptional title in the franchise, with a little more work on its story and skills system, Its combat, exploration, and great boss battles, on the other hand, make Fatal Bullet the best Sword Art Online title to date.

You better have to choose if it’s worth spending your spare cash, because it might not be the game for you and it might be for others.

Based on the popular anime franchise, Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet introduces third-person shooter action along with the traditional RPG gameplay.

A half-decent shooter bogged down with a boring story, a lukewarm audio/visual presentation, and a mediocre PC port.

Improved gameplay and content, but strays a bit too far from the series it's based on.In four years of Sword Art Online games, we sure have had our fair share of Heroic-Fantasy. It's [...]

The music of Fatal Bullet is alright, with some catchy tunes in each world. While a lot of the music is more atmospheric than memorable, it serves its purpose and blends in with each environment nicely. The voice acting is decent as well, though a lot of the characters sound somewhat disinterested in what’s going on around them. On the other hand, more peppy characters will repeatedly say the same lines with unbridled enthusiasm, which can be a bit much.

SAO: Fatal Bullet shakes things up with new locations and mechanics but fails to grab the attention of anyone but fans.

5.9/10

Fatal Bullet isn’t a bad game, but it didn’t hold my interest for very long. It’s fun to be surrounded by familiar faces from the anime series, and I could see glimmers of depth in Fatal Bullet’s combat and upgrade systems. However, the poor story pacing and the repetitive nature of exploration dragged it down. While it’s a good change of pace for games based on SAO, it still lacks the polish needed to really stand out.

5/10

Fatal Bullet sets itself up for excellence, only to fall short in almost every area. Fans of the Sword Art Online universe might enjoy the ability to play alongside characters from the series, but Fatal Bullet struggles to keep itself afloat, even with its relatively short runtime.

Over the last few years Sword Art Online (SAO for short) has blazed its own path through the anime world;  with a story premise that video games can transport you literally into a fully immersive VR world, who wouldn’t love it? You can’t help but fawn over main protagonist Kirito and his ever increasing harem of platonic female friends as they fight their way through a slew of dungeon bosses. As a gaming series, it just lends itself to the RPG genre so well. Sword Art Online: Fatal Bul...
