SAO Integral Factor - MMORPG Global

Sword Art Online: Integral Factor is an RPG where you can become one of the members of an Assault Team trapped in a virtual world. The controls in Sword Art Online: Integral Factor are very intuitive. On the left side of the screen, you'll find a virtual D-pad to move your character freely, and on the right side are the action buttons. When you start the game, you can create your character and customize it however you want. As you progress, you can add more distinctive elements to your character, such as lots of weapons and Armor at each level.

Let's get this out of the way. I'm a huge Sword Art Online fan, and even bought statues, figma, and Nendoroids of all the girls, as well as Kirito. I also have a poster and other merch. And when I finally had time to play a Sword Art Online game, I immediately tried Sword Art Online: Integral Factor. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed. The story is a "What If?" scenario for Sword Art Online. It's an alternate take on the light novels, and its story is not canon. That being said, I liked the story and was the only reason I kept playing. It takes place  in Aincrad, which is during the light novels' first arc. In other words, the death game called Sword Art Online where players are trapped in a video game and get killed in real life if they die in the game. Players largely interact with an original character named Koharu, and meet other SAO characters along the way... even those who did not participate in the original death game but appeared in later arcs like Sinon and Leafa. Its basically an alternate retelling of the Aincrad arc's story, with the player impacting what could have happened if he/she were part of the game. And players get to play until they reach Aincrad's 100th floor and clear the game.
