You can switch between weapon skills and magic by tapping the R1 button to draw or sheath your weapons. Weapon skills are now joined by magic spells that can be mapped however you wish, ultimately using an R1+button combination which is very simple. Gone are the agro and praise features that made battles overly complicated and took a while to get a feel for. The whole thing feels so much more enjoyable and less overwhelming. The battle system is a lot better than the one found in Hollow Fragment, it has been simplified and the HUD has been overhauled. You can speed up with R1 and even further with R1+X although this will drain your stamina much faster. Flight mode is the faster mode but harder to control, unlike float mode you’re constantly moving forward using the left stick to control your movement including ascending and descending. You can move freely in this mode using R1 to move slightly faster but still maintaining good control. The floating mode is the easier of the two to control and largely only consists of pressing X to ascend or double-tapping X to descend. There are two different modes of flight within the game. The introduction of flight opens the whole world of ALO up giving you a great sense of freedom, if not for the altitude limit early on. Upon starting up the game you’re given the choice of playing out a tutorial even though you have a choice I’d recommend it as there is one major difference in this game – flight. Players of Hollow Fragment will find some familiarity here in gameplay while at the same time experiencing a simplified, more fluid control system and HUD layout. There are a lot of little random character interactions hidden throughout the game that can provide an entertaining distraction but can also be easily missed. The story plays out in a very light fashion, giving you only little pieces at a time, which is great because instead of huge text dumps that you would normally see in this genre, we can get straight to the action. Ultimately this isn’t an MMO which is unfortunate, but it’s as close as we may ever get.

I say does it really need one? Fans of the series have wanted a game of SAO where they can explore and clear dungeons as one would an MMO. The story has been criticised already for not having any impending sense of doom and the lack of a main villain. Kirito and co are eager to tackle this new area and explore its various dungeons. A series of floating continents that follow a Norse mythology theme, as opposed to the Celtic one of ALO.

Following the continuity of previous games, which are set in an alternative storyline, we explore the new system update to ALfheim Online known as Svart ALfheim. The game takes place in the VRMMO ALfheim Online that appears from volume three of the light novels and the second half of the Sword Art Online anime series. With a change in developer, how well does this new entry stand against those before it?
However, unlike its predecessors Lost Song was not developed by Aquria, instead, it was developed by Artdink. Like its predecessors, Infinity Moment and Hollow Fragment, Lost Song is set in an alternative storyline to that of the light novels and anime series. Lost Song is the latest entry in the Sword Art Online franchise.
