Sword Art: Echoes of Aincrad had the potential to be the Sword Art Online game fans have been waiting for… but is it wasting its biggest opportunity?
In this review and gameplay discussion, I take a look at Sword Art Online: Echoes of Aincrad, an open-world action RPG inspired by the legendary Aincrad arc. With a massive world, sword-based combat, and Soulslike influences, this game has all the ingredients to become something special — but some major decisions hold it back.
Could this have been the ultimate Sword Art Online MMO-style experience? Does the lack of multiplayer hurt the game’s potential? And is Echoes of Aincrad missing the chance to deliver the dream SAO fans have wanted for years?
Let's talk about the combat, exploration, progression, world design, and why this game feels like it could have been so much more.
