playstationdude Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 What Genre does this fall into? Action rpg or turn based? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roun90 Posted June 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 @Playstationdude It's action rpg. It's also, I think the first series that actually introduced the VR death game like SAO. But unlike SAO, this series actually has a good story and is not focused on harem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow storm Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 I actually played this game on ps2. It was good but very dark grimy environment compared to SAO. (btw SAO has harem?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roun90 Posted June 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 @shadow storm You might as well call SAO a harem. I read some of the LNs of it, and basically every new season they change the game and introduce a new girl as a potential interest (although technically the MC is married in game). I was initially interested in it. It's initial premise was good, and it reminded me of .hack. But they did not explore much of the death game at all. After reading some volumes, I just dropped it because of that. I even tried one game of it on Vita, and frankly it looked a harem MMO type game to me even there, without much of a story.

playstationdude Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Nice! I can see myself buying this. Not a fan of turn based jrpgs, but an action jrpg is right up my alley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
