The real review

Echoes of Aincrad is a survival-action RPG from Game Studio Inc. that people find deeply frustrating. While the concept of surviving in the iconic Aincrad setting and its specific "Death Game Mode" are well-liked, the overall execution is a letdown — the core gameplay and difficulty are just average, and many feel the value for money is poor. The near-universal negativity is aimed squarely at Game Studio Inc., with players on PC and Xbox reporting significant technical problems. It's a game with a great premise that ultimately doesn't deliver.
