Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream

Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream is the next chapter in Kirito's story. Instead of presenting a new adventure, it seeks to revive the past once more and bring back old friends to solve another problem in the digital world. Despite the convoluted plot, it offers superb co-op gameplay.

It's been a little while since SWORD ART ONLINE Fractured Daydream released but I've been playing it recently so here's my review. Enjoy!

Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream is a pretty fun and entertaining multiplayer game for fans of the series. Sadly the appeal doesn’t reach farther than that.

Fractured Daydream is a solid blend of action RPG elements with tons of immersive environments and fan service, but it does fall short in some notable areas. But it's really something to pick up if you're a casual or long-time SAO fan.

But despite all that, when things worked out. When I found matches, I had some good fun running dungeons with folks. There’s something special about watching twenty people unleash explosions all over your screen, a health bar being whittled down faster than pizza leftovers in a family of six, and callouts coming left and right. SWORD ART ONLINE Fractured Daydream brings about the chaotic nature of MMOs I really haven’t seen in a long time, especially in casual play, and for all its caveats it’s not a bad cooperative action game—but do mind the fractures. ∎

In this online co-op action game, enter a distorted version of the SWORD ART ONLINE world. Pick your role in the form of favorite SWORD ART ONLINE characters and team up with 20 players for raids to defeat powerful enemies.

Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream is a fun time that ultimately falls a bit short of its lofty goals. While the story mode is a good time, there are issues here and there that prevent this from being a great experience. Moreover, the game's multiplayer offerings are fun to experience with friends, but the dwindling player count leaves major concerns for the longevity of this title.
