Sword Art Online: Variant Showdown stars Kirito, a young gamer from Japan who by chance learns of the existence of Cross Edge, a game designed by a high school student that hides a dangerous adventure. Rumor has it that in Cross Edge, a player appears at unexpected moments that can take out other players and wipe out part of their memory.

The gameplay is designed to create nostalgia for each person because of the close details and extremely impressive fighting style. At the same time, everyone wants to break the current limit and challenge stronger enemies. Certainly, each person creates a team that suits their fighting style and changes roles constantly to optimize damage. Each character possesses powers similar to those in anime that you cannot ignore.

Sword Art Online Variant Showdown creates an opportunity to meet famous characters such as Kirito, Asuna, and their friends. They will continue to explore the dungeon together and experience extremely interesting battles. At the same time, the plot has nothing to do with the anime but brings nostalgic elements to the player. This can be recognized through the costumes at the beginning of the game. The black swordsman’s outfit gives a strong feeling and creates invisible power to promote the destruction of monsters. From there, players who are fans cannot ignore such elements.

The battle takes place in a 3D environment that allows the character to move freely and attack the designated target. The combat mechanism will often urge the player because the combos system will continuously accumulate over time. From there, the attack index will increase according to the letters, and the player will have to release a large amount of damage to maintain this score. A team usually gathers 3 characters with different skills and cards. They often take on typical positions, such as long-range attacks or close-range support, to continue the combo index. Therefore, players will satisfy their own combat experience.
