It might not be an actual Holy Grail War, Fate/Samurai Remnant's Waxing Moon Ritual delivers a bombastic, action-packed musou game with a narrative that gripped me for dozens of hours.

Fate/Samurai Remnant is a fun action RPG with top notch cutscenes and voice acting that will leave fans of the Fate works all satisfied, but the padding was too much it felt like it was there to justify the game's price.

Fate/Samurai Remnant doesn’t require you to know the Fate series to play, but it will convert you to a fan by the end of it. It’s written well, gives you an interesting world to explore, and has a clean combat system that never wears out its welcome. Given that this does take place in an entirely new chapter for Fate, Type-Moon now has a bunch more characters to spin into mechanise for this money-spinning behemoth and, as much as I hate admitting this to myself, I’d be all in for all of that. Fate/Samurai Remnant has reinvigorated my love for the property all over again.

Fate/Samurai Remnant is a perfectly fun action-RPG, and it is as a great introduction to the Fate franchise for those who find the convoluted and complex series too difficult to get into. The story and gameplay are engaging and fun but don't reach the highs of something like Persona 5 Strikers, largely because of the focus on Iori's "weakness."

Fate/Samurai Remnant is another excellent chapter in a franchise full of them. Marrying great musou combat with an exceptionally developed rich story, a well-established mythology, and beautifully constructed characters, the title is easily one of the most welcome and surprising games of 2023.

Even without any pre-knowledge of this series, everyone can enjoy the combat, action and stories between a master and their servant during the feudal society of the Edo era of Japan. Although the combat becomes quite repetitive while the protagonists develop stronger when the enemies somewhat never seem to learn their lessons, if you’ve heard of this series before, the game’s definitely worth a shot.

The Fate series often experiments, and Fate/Samurai Remnant is no exception. Combining familiar elements and gameplay with a fresh setting, it attempts to differ significantly from its predecessors. After all, does it leave a good impression?

Fans of the Fate series and Japanese action RPGs in general should give this game a look as it provides a mostly rewarding experience during the 40-hour+ playtime. As you’ll also get a few history lessons related to the game’s setting, this is a good way to learn something without reading through reams of textbooks.

Fate/Samurai Remnant, although it is a victim of the Switch's technical performance, is another excellent RPG recently added to the console's library. With a dense narrative that lives up to Type-Moon's renowned franchise, combined with different systems that enrich the combat and exploration of a reimagined feudal Japan, we have an adventure that both regular Fate fans and newcomers can enjoy without fear.

Fans of the series will certainly be able to appreciate its take on the formula and how it connects to the wider series, and despite the game’s weaknesses, its story should be more than strong enough to get new fans into the franchise.

Fate/Samurai Remnant works as an excellent introduction to its franchise. A few issues aside, the combat system is fantastic and pulls off the difficult task of remaining fun over a lengthy runtime, which is something that similar titles can struggle with. The story is also superb and acts as the main motivator for you to pull out your sword as you push forward into the next mob of enemies.
