First impression after a few hours of gaming.

Story:
i haven't seen much of it yet, you are just a noob draged into a new game by a friend and get lucky getting your very own AI and therefore befriending famouse player (Kirito and his harem). Afterwards you decide to lvl up for the upcoming new content.

All of this is pretty much "you" in every new game, hope this developes into something interesting.

All "player" there seem to have a background story that you can unlock by getting familiar with them simply fighting alongside them, looks promising.

Combat:
rather typical 3rd person shoot but since it is based on an MMO with many different weapons.

Skills can be bought with points gained from lvling but are bound to stats and the weapon used which gives more variety.

Nothing special i can say here.

Controls:
usable.... No mouse support in the menus make it a royal pain in the a** to use but fighting is ok once you learn the buttons. Couldnt find a way to remap them yet.

Fazit:
All in all its a fun game to play, how long i will invest is still open, hopefully it gets better with higher lvls and more developed story.

My current state when writing this report:
70h of offline gametime, no MP gametime.
Story completed.
"side quests" compleded and only trying to get the best rank in all of them atm.

Pros:
- create your own character and fight in DBZs history.
- big selection of cloth to wear and customize your avatar.
- many "side quests" with additional battles to fight (called parallel quests in game).
- a good selection of playable character for multiplayer or as partner in side quests.
- great selection of skills to select from (physical / ki / transformation / evasion)

Cons:
- The main story is not completable unless you lvl up by doing side quests, and i dont mean just do all of them once...
- all pieces of gear you can get have boni and mali on them so changing into the outfit you like most may not give you the boost in stats you focus on.
- and of course the BIGGES ANNOYANCE is RNG.

RNG realy rules this game:
Every sidequest has severa rewards, usually a few skills and one or two armor sets you can get.
At first it sounds nice but once you try getting them you start you will notice the RNG chain.
A side quest has always 1 win and at least 1 loose condition, after that there are 2 additional condition that are hidden.
If you manage to clear the hidden conditions you have the CHANCE for an additional encounter, yes only a CHANCE.
That additional encounter is most of the time which will stopp you from getting the skill, gear and of course Z-Rank you want.
Even if you are lucky enough to get the enemy to spawn and beat him or them the next dice is rolled.
Will you get that piece you want? Nah, probably not.
Those encounters happen rarely (in my case) and if you are lucky to get a drop no one says its not one you already have.
I am sure you can imagine how frustrating it is to try and get a full set of gear (body, pants, gloves and boots)

... let the grind begin.

Fazit:
Even if the game can probably be beaten in a single day if only the necessary levels are played (and grinded) it is still a fun game. Trying to max your char(lvl80), getting the skills together you want and boosting your stats with the right gear to break your opponent with powerfull attacks gives quite the satisfying feeling as long as long as you have the patience to roll the dice a mio. times. Beware of multiplayer since the game can realy easily be manipulated with simple tools like cheat engine.
