Fate/Extella is an upcoming action video game in the Fate/stay night series. The game is a single-player action game in which the player takes the role of a "master", who works together with spirits known as servants, who fight large numbers of enemies. The player can name the master, and can decide if they should be male or female. There are sixteen playable servants in the game, divided into eight classes: Saber, Archer, Lancer, Caster, Assassin, Rider, Berserker, and Extra Class. Different servants have different fighting styles: the Saber swordswoman Nero Claudius has powerful sword skills and balanced abilities; the Caster magus Tamamo no Mae can use magic skills; and the Saber swordswoman Attila uses a violent battle style.

The combat is too basic, with limited attack options and little variety in the characters. The enemies are downright boring, with no real challenge except for the occasional playable character encounter.
The unlockables and character models are also pretty disappointing. Most characters are unlocked by simply beating the story mode, and the character models look like they were taken straight from the Vita version of the game. Not exactly what I was hoping for in terms of eye candy.\
Overall, Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star left me feeling bored and disappointed. It might be worth a try if you're a die-hard Fate fan or just looking for a simple Warriors-style game, but don't expect too much excitement or depth here.
