It’s 2022, and new virtual world technology has blurred
the lines between VR and actual reality (without a
single Robin Thicke in sight!). Boasting an original
in-game story, rather than one plucked from the series
of Japanese SAO light novels, Lost Song takes place
in and around floating continent Alfheim. Familiar
characters and new ones all come into action, with
any of 19 variously available as your playable character.
This in turn brings a variety of weaponry into incredible
land and air battles, changing up the combat as you
get all strategic with your team to bring down even
the most emphatically evil enemies.
