Fate/Samurai Remnant

About

Fate/Samurai Remnant is a tactical RPG that drops you into a clash of swords and sorcery during Japan’s Edo period. You play as Miyamoto Iori, a local caught in a deadly contest between seven master-servant duos fighting to claim a powerful wish-granting relic. Combat blends real-time action with turn-based strategy, requiring you to manage abilities, terrain, and enemy weaknesses to outlast rivals. The story unfolds through brisk cutscenes and dialogue, balancing personal stakes with the series’ signature mythic scale. The game stands out for its brisk pacing and deep tactical layering. While the Edo setting adds a fresh visual flair to the franchise, the real draw is the rhythm of its battles, each encounter demands careful planning without slowing momentum. Early reviews highlight its accessibility for newcomers while rewarding familiarity with the series’ lore. Available on PlayStation, Switch, and PC, it’s a compact but polished entry in TYPE-MOON’s catalog. Released in late 2023, it holds a 78% on Metacritic from 120 reviews.
