Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream

Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream is a Japanese action RPG game developed by the Dimps Corporation studio (known from such projects as Dragon Ball: Xenoverse or Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet) and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. The production was based on a license of a brand that enjoys great popularity (especially in Japan), encompassing video games, anime, manga, and novels for young people.

Plot

Similar to other games under this banner, Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream transports us to a sci-fi universe, where various MMO games are celebrated. One of them is ALfheim Online, in which a special Galaxia system has been implemented, allowing players to experience events from the past.

However, things did not go according to the plans of its creators, and the virtual space-time collapsed into ruins, mixing characters from different eras and plots. However, all is not lost, as over 20 heroes and heroines step in to restore balance in the world of ALfheim Online. For many of them, fulfilling this mission involves the necessity of burying the hatchet and establishing cooperation with former enemies.

Gameplay

The gameplay in Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream does not deviate too much from what we have been accustomed to by previous titles under this banner. The game allows us to choose one of the characters diversified in terms of specialization, skills and preferred weapons.

Apart from Kirito, who is a swordsman and somewhat the main character, we have at our disposal his cousin Leafa, a sniper named Sinon, quietly operating Argo or even Agil wielding a large axe.

After choosing our hero or heroine, we set off on a journey full of dangers through various locations. We complete quests and engage in dynamic skirmishes with opponents. Among the latter, powerful bosses lead the way, which we eliminate by participating in special raids.

Game modes

We can technically play Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream alone, but the game spreads its wings in the cooperative mode for 20 players. Participants of the game operate in four-person teams and work together to restore balance in the virtual world of ALfheim Online.
