Bandai Namco wants to know what players thought of its latest Sword Art Online title, Echoes of Aincrad. I’ve said multiple times that I enjoyed the game and several of its story beats, but it is far from being the best entry in the series.
Starting today, July 16, Bandai Namco has launched a new player survey for Echoes of Aincrad. The survey contains roughly 20 questions covering subjects such as your overall satisfaction with the game, its performance, what you enjoyed, and the parts you simply couldn’t stand.
You can fill out the Echoes of Aincrad survey here. This is a chance to let Bandai Namco know exactly how you feel about the game, outside of posting your frustrations on social media or yelling into the echo chamber.
Hopefully, enough people will fill out the survey, provide constructive feedback, and, above all, remain respectful. This feedback could help influence possible updates for the game or even future entries in the Sword Art Online game series.
As I explained in my review of Echoes of Aincrad, the game introduces an enjoyable new story and some strong weapon customization. However, its restricted exploration, repetitive enemies, and several frustrating design decisions stop it from becoming the definitive Sword Art Online game that many fans have been waiting for.
Whether you enjoyed Echoes of Aincrad or came away feeling like Bandai Namco completely dropped the ball, completing the survey is one of the best ways to make your feedback heard. Just remember to keep the criticism constructive, especially if you want the development team to understand what worked, what didn’t, and what needs to improve.
