Fate/EXTELLA The Umbral Star
SCORE: 59
I am grateful Family Friendly Gaming was given a digital download
code for Fate/EXTELLA The Umbral Star on the Nintendo Switch. This 3.0
gig downloadable game also comes in the physical copy format. We are
playing in the digital realm of SE.RA.PH. The Holy Grail war is over and
now it is time for a new story. I hope you understand Japanese because
that is what they speak in. The words are written in English so hardcore
hack and slash gamers can read along.
Fate/EXTELLA The Umbral Star reminds me of the Dynasty Warriors
franchise. We slice and dice through thousands of characters that have
little value. We beat up bigger and stronger characters to conquer a
region. The goal in Fate/EXTELLA The Umbral Star is to get all of the
regions under your control. Bear in mind the enemy will attack your
conquered sections when you are no longer there.
Areas are kept separate in Fate/EXTELLA The Umbral Star. We warp between
areas by going to the warp spot and pressing 'B'. I like this better
than running around for massive amounts of time like we do in Dynasty
Warriors games. The issues families will have with Fate/EXTELLA The
Umbral Star are violence, profanity, lack of attire, enticement to lust,
sexual innuendo, nudity, magic, demons, false gods, and atheism
promoted. In fact I did not find anything to support the Judea-Christian
belief set in Fate/EXTELLA The Umbral Star.
I ran into lag issues while playing Fate/EXTELLA The Umbral Star. Were
the bath scenes really needed in Fate/EXTELLA The Umbral Star? The
bonding system made me feel like it was part dating sim, and part hack
and slash. There is plenty of talking, and cut scenes in Fate/EXTELLA
The Umbral Star. They can be skipped by pressing the plus sign twice in
a row. I got bored with the talking and the religious beliefs this game
is teaching.
Fate/EXTELLA The Umbral Star is an extremely strong 'T' rated video
game. Some of the content could easily have made this a 'M' (SEVENTEEN
and OLDER ONLY) video game in my opinion. I got tired of conquering area
after area in the maps. It became the same thing over and over again in
each of the regions. The only thing that changed is when some powerful
warrior appeared and attacked me.
I wish Fate/EXTELLA The Umbral Star included English voice acting. I
also do not understand why there was a need for bad language in
Fate/EXTELLA The Umbral Star. This is a fantasy world after all. Why
can't game creators be creative with language? Why not make up some
words that no one knows instead of using swear words? If you are into
Dynasty Warriors games and want to see a different universe (and you are
old enough), then you might take an interest in Fate/EXTELLA The Umbral
Star on the Nintendo Switch. I expect it will be on sale for Black
Friday.
