Fate/Samurai Remnant Reviews
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.
Fate/Samurai Remnant is a fresh addition to the Fate franchise, offering a unique take on the adaptable Holy Grail War formula that caters to newcomers and longtime fans. If you have the patience for its deliberate storytelling, you’ll discover a compelling narrative exploring themes of self-repression. This journey is enhanced by a well-written main cast and supporting characters, a satisfying combat system, an addictive gameplay loop, and an emotionally resonant soundtrack. Whether new to Fate or a seasoned fan, Fate/Samurai Remnant offers an engaging experience worth exploring.
Fate/Samurai Remnant brings the redemption arc that sees me becoming a fan.
Despite some nitpicks, Fate/Samurai Remnant is still a worthy new entry in the long-running Fate series as well as the Musou genre. The elements like Masters and Noble Phantasms the Fate series are well incorporated with the Musou-style gameplay. Not to mention you’re treated to a memorable story with enough twists and turns that it may stay with you for a while, or until the next Fate entry.
The story of Fate and Koei's expertise on action are creating a unique synergy. Not only does the game feature breathtaking Musou action, but it also intuitively conveys the various elements of Type-Moon's diverse lore without explaining too much. However it is a bit disappointing in terms of graphics and impacts even considering the Switch version.

While perhaps the Switch may not be the ideal platform for such a gorgeous and intense game, but the experience is still solid
Fate/Samurai Remnant is a musou with RPG touches that perfectly maintains the reputation of its saga. It has an entertaining story, dynamic gameplay, a sublime artistic section and a passable sound section. A game that if it weren't for the fact that it is in English, I would recommend to everyone I know.

Omega Force delivers much more than a typical Musou game. Fate/Samurai Remnant has a deep story and nice gameplay elements, even though a few things get a bit too repetitive when you look at the time one playthrough of the game takes.

Fate/Samurai Remnant is a lot of fun, with the compelling narrative and slick combat making for a very enjoyable action-RPG experience. There’s a lot to discover when exploring the world , whilst the Spirit Fonts mini-game adds an additional strategic element to what is otherwise a very action-driven experience. Sure, it could be argued that the core gameplay experience doesn’t offer too much you wouldn’t have seen before, but with Fate/Samurai Remnant offering plenty of thrills across the board, it’s hard to complain too much. It’s just a really cool game and one that’ll appeal to both long-time fans of the Fate series and complete newbies.
Fate/Samurai Remnant is a must-play for fans of the Fate franchise and worth checking out for anyone who loves a good anime-style game. I can’t say it’ll win over all musou fans due to its focus on storytelling slowing the pacing, but I suspect it may convince those who typically shy away from musou games to give it a second look. In the very least, Fate/Samurai Remnant has a cool premise with fun characters that develop and grow as the story progresses, so if you’ve already had your eye on this one, you shouldn’t be disappointed.
Fate/Samurai Remnant transforms the Holy Grail war (here called the Ritual of the Crescent Moon) into a fascinating period conflict inspired by traditional Japanese elements. Both for those who have already delved deeply into the series and for those who are just looking for a good action RPG, this is an unmissable title.

Fate/Samurai Remnant is a game for lovers of Japanese productions, who like long hours of storytelling and don't mind the most humble graphic skills. By turning Musou's gameplay into an Action RPG with some depth and strategy in the mix, Type-Moon and Omega Force pull off some good moments, but it's not strong enough to hold up for all the hours the narrative needed. Still, you might be pleasantly surprised by Fate/Samurai Remnant.

Fate/Samurai Remnant is an incredibly impressive game with lots to offer both Fate and Musou fans. While it has its drawbacks, it still sports a compelling narrative, incredibly fun gameplay, great lore, and much more.
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 offers a truly memorable experience with a powerful story, beautiful worlds but even better combat that rivals any other combat in the genre.
Fate/Samurai Remnant is a welcome addition to the Fate franchise with interesting characters and a story filled with mystery and branching decisions. The combat is fast paced, fun, and balanced, with a good mix of both easy and challenging fights for players to tackle. The game has high replayability, as you’ll want to play through the game more than once to get the full scope of the story. I had a lot of fun playing through the game, and I’m certainly going to come back for more. I can easily recommend this to both fans of the Fate franchise and newcomers to the series. The story will suck you in, the graphics are beautiful to look at, the music will have you looking up the track names, and you’ll have a ton of fun slicing through foes.
Fate/Samurai Remnant offers a balancing act of anime-style samurai epics paired with more focused combat in the style of the Warriors games. You can expect beautiful and numerous areas that also include equally barren arela, has a more tactical approach to the fights that doesn't last until the end, and gets a bit too lost in its repetition, although there are always new mechanics and enemy designs. A blade with samurais on one side and Musou on the other, though, where fans of either should definitely take a look. It definitely could have used more anime epicness though, as the opening suggests.
