Echoes of Aincrad’s Death Game Mode will actually delete your save file when you die

by

The English announcement briefly mentioned that the Deluxe and Ultimate Editions of the game will let players access the Death Game Mode early. However, the Japanese announcement clarified that this mode features true permadeath – meaning if your character dies in the game, your save file will be permanently deleted, just like in the original light novels the game is based on. This happens the moment your character runs out of health and ‘collapses’.

Unfortunately, a weak script from director Patrick Hughes and James Beaufort doesn’t help Ritchson create a truly compelling character – he comes across as just another generic action hero. The real focus of the movie is actually the alien robot, reminiscent of those in Transformers, that’s hunting Ritchson and his team. If you can overlook the film’s overly serious tone and predictable plot, it surprisingly manages to be quite engaging.
