Action: There are plenty of alternatives out there. Story: A minor, decidedly lacking version of Full Metal Daemon: Muramasa. It touches on the same themes but misses the sheer narrative depth and impact. Visuals & Fan Appeal: The 2D design and art are genuinely good. Voice acting is top-notch. If you are an established fan of the Fate series, there is definitely value in playing the game for the characters and lore …

If you find the Fate series confusing and hard to get into this game is perfect for you. Has all the best elements of Fate while being its own story without you needing to know any previous knowledge of it. A fun gripping story with fast gameplay and exploration that had me hooked the entire time that the moment I finished the story I was felling melancholic. You can feel the care and love they gave to this game.

Good game for FATE fans, average one for everyone else If it's not apparent, this game is not my cup of tea. I have some knowledge of FATE and have watched 1 anime series (out of the gorillion media available) but I am by no means a true fan. First I'm gonna bring out the main points you might not like this game for: 1 - The combat is ok (it really improves as the game goes on) but by the end of the story it has …

I can recommend it only for Fate fans because it's not so good. The story is a typical Fate story which is actually interesting but very similar to other Fate titles. The game is way too slow and felt unnecessarily. So, early you will figure out the game is repetitive. The regular moves are cool and fast and the special moves are SO COOL but when it goes to the battles they're take forever because the enemies have …

Fun action JRPG with an entertaining and charming story. If you're a fate fan it'll be absolute heat, but you don't need any type-moon knowledge to jump in and have a good experience with the game. A 100% playthrough is a slog I won't do, but the game is definitely worth the price!

89% of the 169 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Fate/Samurai Remnant. The complaint that keeps coming up: combat becomes repetitive over time. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

Upon release, Fate/Samurai Remnant received "generally favorable" reviews from video game publications based on the review aggregate website Metacritic aimed towards the PC and PS5 ports. Fellow review aggregator OpenCritic assessed that the game received fair approval, being recommended by 92% of critics.

It starts all well and good and keeps things interesting until the mid game. Then you get let down by all the cliches and nonsense situations. The amount of time your friend or sister gets kidnapped in this game is mind boggling. How in the seven hells can you call it good writing if every major conflict starts because the MC's sister got taken by someone. There are…

neutral · AI labelView post →Its a decent JRPG if you like the Fate Franchise, but a horrible experience if you plan on 100% it like it did. No matter what, this is NOT a Musou Game in my eyes. You dont fight against thousands of enemies, more like...10 - 20 per small Area. It has very few Bossfights they like to reuse A L O T ! Get ready to fight against Berserker 50 times. No Forts to capture, nothing. The Gameplay is also very simple but its okay once you get the hang of it. Youre extremely weak at the beginning,…

positive · AI labelView post →Story is good, combat (against normal enemies and minibosses) is pretty good, the quests are also kinda fun. The bosses in this game are horrible, they all take forever to break their armour (also most of your options to break armour are either A: impossible on most bosses ie: earth counter or riposting, B: just not effective enough to not be mind bogging) and then they take another 20 years to kill all while they stun-lock you with barley reactable attacks that three or one shot you.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't recommend it on high difficulty, pretty bland combat with needing to wait shielded opponents to attack and counter. I enjoyed it much more just breezing through on easy difficulty and enjoying story. Only recommended for fate fans though.

I haven't taken the time to play the side content yet or purchase it but it is on my list of things to do, eventually, and perhaps that time might be coming sooner rather than later seeing as they have decided to permanently lower the price of the game and the Season Pass. Though it helps to have some understanding of the Fate franchise, in all its vastness, it isn't actually necessary to get…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I’d only recommend this to Fate fans who are already familiar with the franchise, as it’s not very beginner-friendly to just pick up and play. Some parts dragged more than they needed to and a few things, especially around the fifteenth servant, weren’t really answered by the end. That said, the writing for most of the Master/Servant pairs was great. My favourite was Musashi and Dayu, with Dayu easily standing out as the best Master story wise, especially in the final confrontation with Rouge…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →On Fate series perspective there is a good story, good characters and ambiance but on gameplay side, if the majority part of the system is good, the fight difficulty is a fake difficulty. The shield system is boring and several time after have destroyed it the bosss regen it. It's only useful to make the fight longers. And the dodge... when you dodge, even if you have the right timing it's influenced by the character evade stat. So often you don't dodge and you are taking a lot's of damages.…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A mostly fun game, though the gameplay is slow at start. It's sorta easy and not quite a RPG as it's being marketed and progression mechanics are somewhat limited. The combat is flashy and there's a lot of different skills you unlock and many servants to take control of, but I found myself only using a handful of them. My main gripe at first was that you rarely get the chance to use a servant during the main story but as you progess his skill tree, at some point Iori's gameplay gets more…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have mixed feelings on the Fate franchise, parts of it I love, others not so much, but that’s a different discussion. Thankfully this game falls into the former category, its great surprisingly so. Combat is good although a bit repetitive by the end, especially on higher difficulties. The main selling point is the story and characters, the protagonist Iori in particular ended up being much more interesting than I expected. I won’t go into spoilers but it should be said that a second…
