Echoes’ promise of chasing your own path through Castle Aincrad is undermined by sluggish pace, repetitive design, and shallow player agency.
From real-time combat, to evolving progression and deep character customisation, Echoes of Aincrad is a fresh leap for the Sword Art Online series.
Releasing for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, the PvEvP survival title retails for $39.99. Pre-orders also get seven days of early access.
