Fate/Samurai Remnant Reviews
A surprisingly well-rounded package, Fate/Samurai Remnant has lots of ideas, and somehow makes them all work together well. It manages to satisfy both musuo-style combat aficionados and tactical strategy folk alike, with fast-paced slasher combat mixed with numerous abilities and an overarching territory control component that is deeper than it looks at first glance. The Fate history and lore can be a lot to take on board, and long stretches of dialogue feel like a burden to the pace of things, but an intriguing cast make this a solid entry point for newcomers with enough content to make long-time fans incredibly satisfied as well.
In conclusion, Fate/Samurai Remnant adds another engaging title to this vibrant universe that is a very well crafted game from start to finish with strong gaming mechanics and a very engaging combat system. Further it is a living breathing world with quite a bit of attention to detail that makes exploration a treat. The game is also brought together by a very well written story with interesting characters, including real-world twists. The only downside is that it can be a little wordy at times with its visual novel implementation and at times, combat can be become a grind but fortunately the gameplay and universe more than makes up for this.
Fate/Samurai Remnant is a nice surprise for action RPGs and Fate fans alike.

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."
There is much to learn in Fate/Samurai Remnant but the characters and gameplay loop make it worth the work.
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.

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.
Fate/Samurai Remnant is one of my favourite action games of the year thanks to its epic combat and character growth opportunities that come together to make each battle feel personalised. It may start out slow but holy hot darn, do things escalate!
If you've always been curious about the Fate saga but never dared to explore its complex universe, Fate/Samurai Remnant is the perfect entry point. It introduces a new and unconnected story with all the narrative elements of the Type-Moon universe, combined with immediate yet deep gameplay. With an intriguing narrative and plenty of activities, it dispels any fear of approaching Fate. Be prepared to spend time on its visual novel elements, which are only in English.

Fate/Samurai Remant is a decidedly surprising title. It won us over with its mysterious plot and spectacular gameplay, and brings new luster to Kinoko Nasu's historic franchise. It's just a shame for the lack of attention paid to its technical aspects, but in any case we find ourselves faced with an excellent amalgam between a musou and an Action RPG.

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.

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.
