Release Date: October 4, 2024
An action jRPG with a TPP camera. Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream features the torn world of the MMO ALfheim Online and playing as one of the characters from different eras we must try to restore it. We can play alone or in coop as a group of up to 20 players.
Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream is a Japanese action RPG game developed by the Dimps Corporation studio (known from such projects as Dragon Ball: Xenoverse or Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet) and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. The production was based on a license of a brand that enjoys great popularity (especially in Japan), encompassing video games, anime, manga, and novels for young people.
Similar to other games under this banner, Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream transports us to a sci-fi universe, where various MMO games are celebrated. One of them is ALfheim Online, in which a special Galaxia system has been implemented, allowing players to experience events from the past.
However, things did not go according to the plans of its creators, and the virtual space-time collapsed into ruins, mixing characters from different eras and plots. However, all is not lost, as over 20 heroes and heroines step in to restore balance in the world of ALfheim Online. For many of them, fulfilling this mission involves the necessity of burying the hatchet and establishing cooperation with former enemies.
The gameplay in Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream does not deviate too much from what we have been accustomed to by previous titles under this banner. The game allows us to choose one of the characters diversified in terms of specialization, skills and preferred weapons.
Apart from Kirito, who is a swordsman and somewhat the main character, we have at our disposal his cousin Leafa, a sniper named Sinon, quietly operating Argo or even Agil wielding a large axe.
After choosing our hero or heroine, we set off on a journey full of dangers through various locations. We complete quests and engage in dynamic skirmishes with opponents. Among the latter, powerful bosses lead the way, which we eliminate by participating in special raids.
We can technically play Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream alone, but the game spreads its wings in the cooperative mode for 20 players. Participants of the game operate in four-person teams and work together to restore balance in the virtual world of ALfheim Online.

Game Ratings for Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream Video Game.
GameOnly: 2.25 / 5 by Rafał Gubała
Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream has failed both as a game in the series and as an ARPG title. It lacks quite a bit even in comparison to free games in the same genre, and unfortunately, the developers themselves did not put in the necessary effort into this title. If you're a fan of Sword Art Universe, you can check it, but in any other case just choose another game.
Infinite Start: 7.5 / 10 by Mark Fajardo
While I wouldn't say Sword Art Online Fractured Daydream breaks the mold, it does a lot of cool things that are worth experiencing. The wide range of characters, coupled with a plethora of stats create an experience that encourages players to give it their all. This, coupled with thrilling modes like co-op quests makes it an experience that might not reinvent the wheel, but it is a lot of fun with plenty of room to grow.
Checkpoint Gaming: 7 / 10 by Erielle Sudario
SWORD ART ONLINE Fractured Daydream is a love letter to the Sword Art Online franchise. You get to play your favourite characters from both Sword Art Online and Sword Art Online Alternative Gun Gale Online, in a story that unites both worlds. It's compelling and it adds shock value, especially if you follow the anime or light novel. In addition, the multiplayer campaign is well-built as it encourages teamwork and knowledge of your chosen character. Lastly, there is an incentive to play the game over and over as the in-game achievements challenge you to achieve the highest score and learn what happens to your favourite characters.
