Accel World VS. Sword Art Online vs Monster Harvest
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!
Monster Harvest
Monster Harvest is a very promising game that features a refreshing blend of monster-collecting and farming simulation. In this game, you grow various “pocket monsters” called Planimals at your farm and bring them to the local rec center to test your mettle or the dungeon to gather special materials. You'll get to develop both your farm and your skills as a Planimal trainer.If you love farming sims and collecting Pokemon - or any other types of pocket monsters really, then Monster Harvest is the game for you! The game features the very interesting premise of turning your crops into battle pets, and how you “slime” them will result in different kinds of pets with varying power. There’s even a roguelite dungeon and a gym for you to test your mettle at and, in the case of the dungeon, gather special resources for upgrades.
The sad thing is Monster Harvest is woefully early access and a work-in-progress. The game still has some pretty massive bugs and pending content (such as the empty-feeling “festival”), though none of them are completely game-breaking. In the worst case, you’ll just have to restart the game, though some players have reported corrupted saved games where all their planimals stored in the pen went missing.
Due to this, I’d not recommend getting the game right now. If you’re really interested, try the free demo and wishlist the game to keep an eye on it. Once the bugs are squashed to a more manageable level and some more features and content are added, then you might want to splurge and grab the game.
