The story of Fate/Samurai Remnant unfolds in the fourth year of the Keian Era (1651) during Japan’s Edo Period, where lone swordsman Miyamoto Iori—adopted son of legendary samurai Miyamoto Musashi—is thrust into the secret Waxing Moon Ritual, a Holy Grail War variant in which seven Masters and their Servants battle to the death for the wish-granting Waxing Moon. In this action RPG, players execute fast-paced hack-and-slash combat with fluid stance-switching, command Servants to unleash powerful Noble Phantasms, and explore stylized open-world recreations of Edo districts such as Yoshiwara, Kanda, and Akasaka. :contentReference
“Fate/Samurai Remnant is the best game in the franchise. It’s a perfect blend of Fate worldbuilding and faithfulness to the Edo-period Japanese setting.”

“Performance issues aside, Fate/Samurai Remnant is a hugely enjoyable action RPG that showcases a strong evolution of the very familiar Musou formula.”

“Slightly underwhelming combat aside, it is a pretty small blemish on the face of a work that might be the best Fate game to emerge in a long while.”
