With a twisting main plot to play through, most of your time will be spent shooting between story segments on the map, taking out the enemies that lie in the way - sometimes you'll have to clear a dungeon and beat a boss, sometimes you'll simply have to fly from place to place in search of a friend. Or in our case, mainline Silica for the entire game because you've always wanted cute cat ears and a pet dragon. A nice touch is that you can make up your party of whichever three characters you like - so you can switch out Kirito for Silver Crow, change Asuna for Cyan Pile or trade your Black Lotus for everyone's favourite boob-hugger, Strea. Before long, you'll have a huge entourage of Sword Art and Accel World characters at your disposal, from main guys Kirito, Asuna, Black Lotus and Silver Crow to the more side-line folks, such as Silica and Lisbeth, Blood Leopard and Sky Raker.
Soaring through the air under the power of your fairy wings, battling monsters and exploring caves and dungeons, you start out having to search for your friends, many of which got separated or stranded as the two worlds merged. What follows is a rather fun little mash up of the two shows, although the game itself is still very much a Sword Art Online game - it's essentially Sword Art Online: Lost Song, but with some Accel World characters thrown in. Joining forces with various characters from Accel World, the Sword Art crew take it upon themselves to rescue Yui, stop Persona Vabel and get to the bottom of the strange goings on. Also going by the name of the 'Twilight Witch', she's a player from even further in the future, who's travelled back in time with but one mission - to find, seal away and destroy Yui, the adoptive daughter-come-navigation pixie of Sword Art Online's protagonists, Kirito and Asuna. The rather jarring scenery juxtaposition is made all the worse by the strange robotic players - those from the Accel World - that have been turning up all over, including one rather bad egg known as 'Persona Vabel'.
Your average Accel World-er looks a bit different to Sword Art's fairy-kin.įor reasons that aren't immediately clear, in Accel World vs Sword Art Online, the two worlds have started to merge, with post-apocalyptic buildings and cyber punk-esque skyscrapers erupting across the rolling fields, snowy hills and lush meadows of the fairy-inspired Alfheim Online, Sword Art's whimsical sister game. However, as every move you make requires Burst Points, which can only be obtained through cut-throat battles with other players, losing too badly can see you losing access to the Accel World program for good. A super secret power which lets people "accelerate" and effectively slow time itself, its a power that has all kinds of applications, from letting you easily win a Kendo tournament, to avoiding a car crash. As a recap, the Sword Art Online anime is set inside a virtual reality MMO, where players don VR headsets and head into a multiplayer-centric enemy-bashing, dungeon-crawling fantasy game, only to discover it's actually a death game, where dying in game will mean dying in real life.Īccel World, meanwhile, is a similar-ish virtual reality-style online game from the future, in which players compete in virtual fights (think super-powered street fighter with robots) in order to earn the points required for 'Burst Linking' out in the real world. Set in the fairytale world of Alfheim Online, Accel World vs Sword Art Online sees you take to the skies once moreĪs you can probably guess from the title, Accel World vs Sword Art Online fuses the two anime universes into a single game - a single, very Sword Art inspired role-playing adventure.
