Sword Art Online: Infinity Moment (ソードアート・オンライン -インフィニティ・モーメント-, Sōdo Āto Onrain: Infiniti Mōmento) is a video game based on the Sword Art Online light novel series. The game was released in both standard and limited edition box sets in Japan on March 14, 2013 for PlayStation Portable.[1] Its sequel Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment includes all its content.[2]
Gameplay[]
The gameplay has many similarities to MMORPGs, though it is not an online game, including the ability to buy and upgrade weapons, go on missions, and fight in a group with other characters.[3] The protagonist, Kirito, can equip ten types of weapons, such as swords and axes.[4]
Plot[]
The game follows an alternate storyline from the end of the first arc of the original story, in which a glitch causes Kirito and the other players to remain in Sword Art Online despite defeating Heathcliff, and players from other VRMMORPGs, such as second and third arc protagonists Leafa and Sinon, get sucked into the game themselves.[5]
Development[]
The game was released on March 14, 2013 in Japan for the PlayStation Portable. In June 2014, Bandai Namco released a patch that added a new game mode, which added additional gameplay after completion of the main storyline.[6]
Reception[]
The game sold 138,180 physical retail copies within the first week of release in Japan, topping the Japanese software sales charts for that week.[7] By June 2013, it had shipped over 200,000 copies.[6] Famitsu awarded it scores of 8, 7, 7 and 7 out of 10, totaling 29 out of 40.[8]
Remake[]
The game was remade into HD for the PlayStation Vita in the form of Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment.[9] Some features, like the player's points and skills, can be transferred from Infinity Moment to Hollow Fragment.[10]
