To make clear, Fate/Samurai Remnant can also be available on PS5, PS4, PC, and Nintendo Switch, however it caught my eye whereas shopping Steam. I’ll admit my data of the Fate collection is restricted, having solely watched a part of the anime adaptation of Fate/Zero again in faculty whereas not fully in command of my schools. Anywho, I level that out as a result of Fate/Samurai Remnant tells a largely self-contained story exploring a tumultuous and interesting interval in Japan’s historical past, so you do not must be a giant fan of the anime collection on which it is primarily based to understand the characters and narrative.
The story takes place in 1651 throughout a secret battle generally known as the Waxing Moon Ritual. The participant character is a rōnin from Asakusa named Miyamoto Iori who will get dragged into the battle between seven Masters and Servants for the Waxing Moon, which may grant its proprietor any want. As followers will anticipate from the collection, it mixes real-life historic figures in with fictional characters and blends historical past with fantasy.
Gameplay-wise, Fate/Samurai Remnant is described as an action-RPG. Its fight appears fairly closely Musou-influenced, which is smart contemplating it is directed by Dynasty Warriors studio Omega Force, however in any other case it looks as if a full-fat JRPG with the entire trimmings. You discover an open world crammed with superbly recreated Edo districts, recruit allies to affix you in battle (alternatively, you possibly can management them instantly), tackle apparently fairly meaty facet quests, go to meals stalls to replenish vitality, and watch a dramatic, high-stakes story play out by way of visible novel fashion cutscenes. Oh, and pet the lovable dogs and cats wandering round city. Always find time for that.
