The verdict
A solid GGO-set looter-shooter RPG with deep builds and character creation, often called the best SAO game. Skip it if you hate long dialogue, grind, or want real MMO co-op.
Great for
SAO/GGO fans who like grinding gear, build crafting and custom-character anime RPGs, ideally bought on sale
Main risk
Launch/anti-cheat errors, hours of dialogue, and repetitive grind with weak AI and dead multiplayer
