![]() Unlike the fantasy-medieval trappings of the original game and ALfheim Online (his new main), Gun Gale Online (GGO for short) was a sci-fi affair, with combat based mainly around gunplay and carrying a strong competitive player-versus-player scene. They’d need to do the game equivalent of what happened in the “Death Gun” arc, I basically said, in order to keep things fresh.įor the uninitiated, the “Death Gun” arc of Sword Art Online opened the anime’s second season and involved Kirito joining an entirely different VR MMO, “Gun Gale Online,” to investigate a series of unusual deaths. It’s for a reason that most, if not all, of the franchise’s works are still branded with “ Sword Art Online,” even if their stories and characters have long since moved on from that particular game.Īgain and again, I’ve stated or otherwise implied that the SAO games would need to shake things up in a big way for me to really feel confident about them (and by extension, the franchise) again. Everything else Kirito and his VR game pals have done to date has paled in comparison to their original exploits. As a result, long shows with multiple entries can get spread out over different streaming services.Before we begin, a bit of background: In preparation to write this review of Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet, I went over the other SAO game reviews I’ve written for Destructoid, and it turns out, a common thread runs through all of them: The assertion that Sword Art Online as a franchise has yet to top the original, titular death-game story arc. ![]()
