Sword Art Online: Variant Showdown Returns After a Year-Long Hiatus!
The ARPG, Sword Art Online: Variant Showdown, is back after a year-long absence from app stores. Initially launched and then quickly pulled to address various issues, it now boasts a revamped experience.
This 3D ARPG faithfully adapts the popular anime series, placing players in the shoes of Kirito and other iconic characters as they battle bosses and enemies within the virtual world of Sword Art Online.
This relaunch includes exciting new features:
- Three-Player Co-op: Team up with friends to conquer powerful bosses and earn rare rewards.
- Enhanced Rewards: Higher-difficulty stages now offer armor as rewards, tiered by grade.
- Full Voice Acting: Experience the main story with complete voiceovers.
A Second Chance?
The initial removal of Sword Art Online: Variant Showdown was a surprising move. While the updates are promising, regaining player trust after a less-than-ideal launch remains a challenge. However, dedicated fans of the anime and its characters will undoubtedly welcome its return.
