Sword Art Online: Variant Showdown Returns After Year-Long Hiatus!
The ARPG, Sword Art Online: Variant Showdown, is back after a year-long absence from app stores. Initially launched and then quickly pulled to address various issues, it's now relaunched with significant improvements.
This 3D ARPG faithfully adapts the popular anime series, placing players in the world of Sword Art Online alongside Kirito and other familiar characters. Players battle bosses and enemies, progressing through the story.
This re-release boasts exciting new features:

- Enhanced Rewards: Higher-difficulty stages now offer armor as rewards, tiered by grade.
- Full Voice Acting: The main storyline is now fully voiced.
A Second Chance?
