Professional reviews from gaming critics
Almost perfect if not for the nitty-gritty. If it’s quite there but not enough to push the boundaries, it’s still an awesome game.
I’m not particularly familiar with the lore of the Fate franchise. My first foray into that world was a Musou game entitled Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star, and holy hell; I was confused by that storyline. It assumes you have a previous understanding of the characters and what they’re about. I didn’t, and needless to say, that killed my enjoyment – I had no motivation to want to reach the end credits. Without anything tangible to bite upon, I got bored. Yes, the gameplay was decent, and...
Fate/Samurai Remnant’s engrossing writing and simplistic but engaging combat system make this a title worth exploring no matter your familiarity with the Fate franchise.
Fate/Samurai Remnant shares some of the same mechanics as Omega Force's other Musou games, but it differs in ways that may make it an attractive option for those put off by the typical "1 against 1,000" gameplay.Read More
The latest game from publisher Koei Tecmo and developer Omega Force has arrived with Fate/Samurai Remnant (based in the popular “Fate” universe) that is set
Fate/Samurai Remnant is an awesome game with a great combo of Musou and RPG for a great experience on the Steam Deck.
Fate/Samurai Remnant is a great palate cleanser after all the massive games of 2023. Fans of either the Fate series or Musou games shouldn't hesitate to check this one out.
The Holy Grail War kicks off what I hope to be a continuing run for the Fate franchise. Fate/Samurai Remnant tells a good story with plenty of well-written characters and twists and turns. Its combat is simplistic but manages to keep you going for a fairly long duration. I hope this is the first step of great things to come for this unique franchise.
There is much to learn in Fate/Samurai Remnant but the characters and gameplay loop make it worth the work.
The Fate series gets a new action RPG, this one handled by the Musou studio itself, Omega Force. While Fate/Samurai Remnant provides an interest new setting and tale for the series, its gameplay doesn't quite fully commit.
Fate/Samurai Remnant is an enjoyable entry in the Fate universe. Its heavy emphasis on storytelling may be longwinded at times, but it does lead to a more interesting experience. The story is a compelling one which can keep the player interested in learning what the Waxing Moon Ritual is and who are the true identities of the warrior spirit Servants. The enjoyable gameplay complements the narrative, though pacing issues and repetition can sometimes hold the the experience back from reaching true greatness. But even with these criticisms, Fate/Samurai Remnant is still a good time and likely to ...
There’s a lot to like in Fate/Samurai Remnant for Fate fans, or those who simply enjoy action RPGs in general. The story is meaty, and with multiple endings as well as a New Game Plus mode available, some may even jump in for another playthrough or two. It’s a shame the combat isn’t a little more refined and less reliant on giving enemies armour, forcibly making fights more drawn out and challenging than they should be. Those that can look past this issue, however, will get a lot of enjoyment out of this latest effort by Omega Force.
