In an original story set in Gun Gale Online, you create an avatar and become the central player character. After meeting the rare AI ArFA-Sys, you travel with it and encounter familiar Sword Art Online characters as you make choices along the way.
Explore devastated areas, take on quests, search for treasure, and fight enemies in third-person shooter combat. Use guns, skills, gadgets, and dodges, with a bullet-line indicator helping you react to incoming fire; swords are also available.
Develop your character by combining stats, weapons, skills, and equipment into different builds. The game also includes dungeons, weapon and gear hunting, multiple story endings, and online co-op missions and PvP.
Players who enjoy the game often highlight its character creator, gun-focused combat, and the freedom to shape a build through weapons, skills, and gear. The Gun Gale Online setting and the chance to play as a custom protagonist also appeal to series fans. Some reviews find the story and missions uneven or repetitive, and mention that the systems can take time to understand.
