Play Sword Art Online: Eternal World on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Sword Art Online: Eternal World on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).

🕹 Editor's notes

Sword Art Online Eternal World is a role-playing game with a lot of action and adventure. The character goes inside a game where he has to defeat the bosses of 100 levels.

This game helps players connect and enter the world of virtual games by using a special helmet. This helmet allows players to dive into the world of video games, but there is a catch to this situation.

Plot

This game revolves around the Sword Art Online franchise, where the main character has to escape from the virtual world to save his life. This character goes by the name of Kirito, who jumps into the game, not knowing the consequences.

Ten thousand gamers get stuck as they realize they cannot log out of the game. The only way to escape the game is to defeat the final bosses of 100 levels. If you cannot make it out alive in the game, you die in real life too.

The only way to escape the game is to survive till the end and defeat all the bosses.

Gameplay

Sword Art Online Eternal World starts with the main menu, where you must choose a new game. Once you select the new game, there will be an intro movie. If you are not well-versed in this game, I suggest you watch the intro movie to understand its context.

If you complete the tutorial, there will be a reward for completion. You will learn how to move and fight monsters in the tutorial. There are some skills that use both TP and Magic, but that depends on your character type.

You will not be able to make a move during the fight if your AP is not filled up. When it is your turn to make a move, you will be given four options: to attack, use art, magic, or guard. Once you defeat the opponent, you will earn points and rewards.
