Sword Art Online Valiant Showdown (SAOVS) is a 3D-action RPG based on the popular light novel anime. Sword Art Online is a popular work that has sold over 26 million copies worldwide. A new 3D action RPG for smartphones to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the TV anime broadcast! The stage is the game “Cross Edge” designed by a genius junior high school student. In this game, a memory loss incident occurred due to PK.

The main character, Kirito, feels the presence of the PK guild “Luffin Coffin” that he once faced in the background of the incident and begins to play Cross Edge with his friends as well as an investigation.

In the main quest, an original story set in “Cross Edge” supervised by the original team develops. The player will challenge an action battle that organizes three characters. During the battle, use the gamepad to operate and attack the enemy with regular attacks and active skills. There is a “switch” system as a unique element, and when you tap the target button, the switching of the operating character and the special attack co-occurs.

If you use this, you can hit a combo action such as skill → switch → skill …! Furthermore, the gauge will rise when you attack an enemy, and you can put the character in the “awakening” state. During awakening, there is no cooldown time for skills and switches, and you can use powerful finishing skills drawn in powerful action scenes.

In the case of “Sword Art Online” games on smartphones, there have been 2D scrolling action RPGs and MMO3D action RPGs, but this is the first RPG that specializes in combo actions. The feel of operation is similar to the company’s Tales of series, with combo actions using normal attacks, skills, and switches.

There is also an element of avoiding enemy attacks with the evasion button and invincible time when using switches, and above all, I was able to enjoy an exhilarating combo action battle that alternates between switches and skills. It’s easy to operate, and the performance of the finishing skill from the continuous attack in the awakening state is also impressive.

You can organize three characters in battle, each with their skills, awakening techniques, and attributes. They are mainly obtained through gacha, but even the same character can be organized with different costumes and techniques. In addition to this, there is an “Ability Card” as an equipment item, and characters have a level, level limit release, and potential release, and an ability card have a training menu such as level and possible release.

After the first 10 consecutive games and the bugs are fixed, pull the gacha several times and then complete the mission. You can draw 10 consecutive gachas that can be redrawn and confirmed SSR characters during the forced tutorial. There is only one SSR character, but it seems that any number of SSR ability cards will be discharged, so I would like to select multiple cards here carefully.

Advance the guide mission for beginners! With the first 10 consecutive and pre-registration rewards, you can have 3 SSR characters in the main party and multiple SSR ability cards, so you can clear the early quests without difficulty. First, buy all the enhancement materials that can be purchased with in-game currency in the shop menu, and raise each character’s level to around 35 in the training menu. With this, you can clear the early quests in tens of seconds.
