Throughout the Fate franchise, pairs of masters and heroic spirits —also known as servants— have been fighting across history in a series of Holy Grail Wars, with the winning duo receiving an ancient artifact that grants wishes. Fate/Samurai Remnant continues the series’ epic Holy Grail War in the fourth year of the Keian Era, Edo Period Japan. It has been several decades since the end of a turbulent, blood-soaked era, and while the people are finally enjoying peace and tranquility, a battle between seven pairs of masters and servants is about to begin as the “Waxing Moon Ritual” unfolds in the shadows. This is where the game’s hero, Miyamoto Iori, a young man in Asakusa, finds himself caught in the violence alongside his servant Saber, as they fight to be the last pair remaining in order to receive the granter of wishes, the “Waxing Moon Vessel”.

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?

Fate/Samurai Remnant is a Musou game for players who just can't get into Musou combat. By relying more on narrative, puzzles, and RPG stat building, it certainly has a broader reach for action gamers. The new formula still becomes repetitive, however, and performance issues on the Switch may start to nag after a while.

Fate/Samurai Remnant is a very enjoyable title and one of the most interesting recent games of its kind. It remains a product that is extremely linked to the Fate franchise and aimed especially at the many fans of the Nasuverse.
