Accel World VS. Sword Art Online vs Vanquish
Accel World VS. Sword Art Online
Accel World VS. Sword Art Online is the first, and hopefully not the last, cross-platform (PC via Steam and PlayStation) game that offers a nice mash-up between two popular animes, Sword Art Online and Accel World. In this game, Svart Alfheim and the Accelerated World have emerged and are causing certain devastating destruction in the world, and during all the chaos, Yui has mysteriously vanished. Kirito is convinced she's in trouble but in order to locate her, he will need to challenge the Seven Kings of pure color from the Accelerated World to get the information he needs.Like the previous game, Accel World VS. Sword Art Online is a party-based RPG where you'll need to assemble a team of heroes by recruiting the characters from either anime and novel series. Aside from providing you witha hyper jumping skill, the game's dynamic combat system also retained Sword Art Online's iconic aerial combat, allowing you to perform impressive aerial strikes from the skies. Best yet, the game even has an online multiplayer option with varying modes which can support up to 4 players.
Accel World VS. Sword Art Online is the perfect anime mash-up for Sword Art Online. If you love either one of the animes or even both, you might want to check this game out!
Vanquish
Vanquish puts you into the shoes of government operative, Sam Gideon, who is part of the elite group of operatives that has their own Augmented Reaction Suit which give them superior firepower, superhuman speed and agility as well as a certain amount of suave as they take down groups of hostile and deadly robots. The combat system in this game is incredibly well-made and unique. Aside from having a bullet time system, it also provides players with a smooth gameplay, be it when they are performing kinetic melee moves or when they are trading gunfire with the robots.However, many players have mentioned about the flaw when it comes to weapon upgrades in this game. Unlike most games, you actually have to be equipping the correct gun type in order to pick up the upgrade cube, which randomly appears. It does provide players with the incentive to keep replaying the game but it can be pretty frustrating if you had to give up picking up a hard-earned cube because you don't have the weapon you need.
Besides this downside though, Vanquish is among the top-most third-person shooters that have excellent, well-designed mechanics. If you enjoy smooth combat and a cool and somewhat Halo-like suit, then this is definitely the game for you!
