Fate/EXTELLA Reviews

good game!!

"Mind,body,and soul. Each separate yet they make us whole." ~Anonymous poet There are three layers to Fate Extella Umbral Star. 1. Coming of the great comet: A cataclysmic event that almost destroyed all civilizations thus pushing us toward extinction. Caused mutations to the wild-life whilst appearing as an ominous titan. 2. The reclamation: Enough of humanity's greatest heroes and heroines survived to fight back against the great titan and won thanks to the strategic oversight of their wizard tactician. (Which is "you" by the way.) 3. The shattering: The wizard commander of the reclamation conflict (Your avatar) had his/her raw data uploaded to an akashic archive on the moon after winning the Holy-Grail war. However,your core essence splits into three distinct beings,each with a different servant at their sides. (Servants being the reincarnated souls of those aforementioned legendary heroes and heroines.) If you fit together the pieces all that will make sense,especially if you are a cultured FATE enjoyer. As for the rest of us? Fortunately we get a rather intriguing story with endearing characters as well as a fun and fast musou-styled hack n slasher holding it all together like super glue! Having started with Extella-Link it may come off as counter intuitive I've gone back to an earlier entry. However,Umbral-Star has a better premise as well as more competently written dialogue. While there are less characters Umbral Star also does not have an annoying online component making it impossible to play should you find yourself without internet for an extended period of time. Other aspects 1. Forged items: You can craft relics that grant a specific number of helpful boons per stage. (Heals,revives,etc.) 2. Soul spheres (What I call them anyway): They strengthen each servant with various buffs to their attack,speed,elemental affinity,and defense ratios once you install them into each character's spirit-drive. One's of similar color or type often have accumulative bonus effects if you align them properly. 3. Talk: Progresses the plot-line and helps you get to know your waifus. If you appreciate visual novels the dialogue in Umbral-Star is unexpectedly decent. Long winded in places but well worth reading. You end up having a sympathetic connection with each main love interest. (Except Altera. She simply wants to destroy everything and step on your jewels! I kidd,but the first impression she leaves you with is that of a gilded dominatrix! ) 4. Stages: Very similar to Extella Link. Box-shaped and sometimes multi-layered uniquely themed arenas interconnected by wind-tunnel-portals. 5. Combat: Light attack. Heavy attack. Combo super attack. Air-dash. Ground dash. Aerial slash. Perfect parry. Noble phantasms that violate the Geneva convention! 7. Enemies: Par the usual. There are the cannon fodder mobs that fold over like a house made of cards. Aggressors are more competent generals. The flying saucer bot-factories will spawn additional invaders until they are destroyed. Finally you have the bosses that effect the battlefield whom are important characters on the opposing sides. (Usually controlled by the other versions of yourself.) 8. Modes: There are side story missions for every playable servant as well as a free-mode where you can play thru the main story missions as whomever you want. Lastly there is a gallery that gradually expands as you progress. Pros +Competent musou hack n slasher with a droplet of noticeable Senran Kagura DNA. +Recognizable characters fans are already invested in. +Intriguing lore and well written dialogue. Your avatar is actually important in the events that transpire. +The time you spend with Nero,Tamamo,and Altera makes you genuinely care about them. +You can play it offline once it is installed. Cons -Boss fights seem more meandering and frustrating here than in Extella Link on any difficulty setting above easy. (Maybe that's just Lu Bu!) -Graphics are dated and it shows. Umbral Star is still a feast for the eyes but one that is rough around the edges. -Less playable characters than in Extella Link -Lock on can be finicky. -Dlc gouging with "sexy outfits'. Overall Umbral-Star still holds up shoulder to shoulder with its' contemporaries. It's one of the few musou games with a compelling narrative put at its' forefront. Not as polished as Extella Link but likewise doesn't have any obnoxious excess bloat or online requirement tomfoolery. If you are uncertain just wait for a sale at which point it dips under 20 dollars!

Good fanservice, good battle, good animation, but sh*t lock-on target system
