If you are anything of a Japanese anime fan, you will have heard of Sword Art Online. It started with a series of graphic novels, then the franchise expanded into animation and video games. The mobile game “Sword Art Online: Memory Defrag” has been out in Japan for a while now, so US anime fans are probably happy enough that this game is getting a release stateside.
A bit like the premise of The Matrix, the world of Sword Art Online: Memory Defrag revolves around a virtual reality MMORPG by the same name. Players jack in with their brains into the game, and the things is that if you die in-game, you die in real life. Players connect to this digital environment by way of the NerveGear helmet, which allows them to experience all five senses in-game. Unfortunately, escaping death by removing the helmet also leads to the same gruesome death.
