Fate/EXTELLA LINK Free Download GAMESPACK.NET Although it wasn’t perfect, we’ve always been quick to express our fondness for Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star. The 2017 release was a fine hack and slasher, complete with a fleshed out story and a whole roster of interesting characters. It was a rock solid game, and its sequel, Fate/Extella Link, is pretty much the follow-up that we wanted. Link improves on almost everything. It’s got a larger selection of characters, more missions, more unlockable skills, and even a full bonding system that lets you interact with every member of the cast. As a standalone package it’s incredibly hard to fault, but it’s also a bit of a shame that Link recycles a lot of The Umbral Star’s core. Returning players will note that only one new type of environment has been added, and much of the user interface looks near identical. These are hardly damning complaints, but you could argue that the sequel plays it a little too safe. Overall, though, with so many characters to explore, levelling them up and mastering their unique fighting styles, it’s a title that’s difficult to put down. The story mode’s where you’ll unlock many of these fighters, and with several different endings to discover, the mode demands a decent chunk of your time. We’d go into the details of the plot, but as with anything Fate, things get rather abstract quite quickly.TOP/BEST ADULT VIDEO GAMES IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

The gist of it is that there’s a kind of cyberspace where influential figures from throughout history — famous warriors, philosophers, and legendary heroes — are reinvented as powerful digital entities. It falls to you to command these entities as they wage war against one another, all for the sake of peace. It’s a premise that sounds bizarre on paper, but it’s especially crazy in practice. The good news is that the game does a fair job of stringing you along, and the story itself is actually quite interesting in a weird, often impenetrable way. Look, you’ll just have to trust us on this one, okay? It’s not every day that you get to see a female version of King Arthur annihilate an army of rogue programs with an Excalibur 300 times her size. The story mode’s very replayable thanks to several difficulty levels that are yours to conquer, but with so many characters to try, you’ll soon find yourself gravitating towards the game’s secondary mission mode. Here you’ll dive into a gauntlet of over 40 extra missions, perfect for levelling up your favourite fighters. There’s no story tying these battles together, but they form the basis for Link’s endgame grind.

They grant more experience, and you have a better chance of earning more valuable skills as loot. If you enjoy the combat system, then this additional mode is the place to be. Speaking of which, the combat in Fate/Extella Link is the glue that holds everything together. Fundamentally it’s your standard hack and slash action title, where you make use of simple two-button combos. You cleave your way through hundreds of lesser foes with every swing, before engaging more dangerous opponents in flashy duels. It’s the Dynasty Warriors formula, but what sets the series apart is its active skill system. By holding down R1, each character gets access to four unique abilities, or active skills. These range from explosive attacks to temporary buffs, and they add a real kick to Link’s combat. Well animated and decidedly booming, these offensive techniques punctuate the action every step of the way. Combine active skills with devastating super moves and a ‘rush’ mechanic that has you beat the absolute heck out of the enemy in a QTE-driven fury, and you’ve got accessible, satisfying Warrior-style combat that goes toe-to-toe with Koei Tecmo’s finest. Hugely enjoyable stuff. Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness

Perhaps the one weakness in Link’s arsenal of game modes is its competitive online multiplayer offering. The whole thing just feels a bit tacked on, as two teams duke it out to capture the key points of a battlefield. As good as the combat system is, it doesn’t work all that well when you’re up against human opposition — there’s a tendency to just spam your best abilities and hope that things work out in your favour. What’s more, some characters are quite clearly stronger than others, especially if they’ve got long range active skills. Multiplayer is a potentially neat idea, but unless you’re desperate to play with friends, it’s easily ignored.Musou fans have been a bit spoiled this generation, with many great releases in this niche genre coming out for the Switch, some of which are from the Big N itself. One of the more middling Musou games from the early days in the Switch’s life was Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star, which married that tried-and-true hack ‘n’ slash gameplay with the long-running, convoluted anime franchise, and though it had its issues, that release proved to be an interesting and promising experiment that we hoped would get a follow up. Now, XSEED has opted to take another crack at the concept with Fate/Extella Link, a sequel which still carries some of the issues of its predecessor.

Seize victory within an ever-changing battlefield.

But proves to be the better game on the whole. The story of Fate/Extella: Link picks up right where its predecessor, Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star, left off, following the Servants’ search for Altera after she’s kidnapped by a mysterious new foe who’s begun to ‘Oraclize’ other Servants in a mad campaign for assimilating SE.RA.PH itself. As one may expect, the narrative often leans hard into anime tropes and plotlines, packing the story full of larger-than-life characters and ridiculous story beats that are played with almost comical seriousness; none of these elements coalesce into a particularly memorable or compelling story, but you’re sure to have a great time along the way as you chuckle at the jokes and revel in the overall campiness of it all. Even so, while the underlying narrative proves to be relatively simple and easy to follow, much of it is bogged down by mountains of lore and references that newcomers will be largely ill-equipped to deal with. A conveniently included glossary helps to assuage this somewhat, but make no mistake, this is undeniably a game designed to be played by fans of the series (or at least the last Extella game), and those of you that are coming into this one with little to no knowledge of the series are in for a rough first few hours as you come to grips with the many esoteric terms, names, and concepts that come at you thick and fast.Dread Templar

Of course, this being a Musou game, the story is merely there to provide sufficient context for why you spend hours beating the tar out of literally thousands of nearly helpless enemies on a battlefield, and luckily Fate/Extella Link has found a way to make this activity quite enjoyable. Each level sees you taking control of a Servant whose job is usually to defeat a boss character and secure a battlefield, divided up into ‘Sectors’ that are either controlled by your team or the enemy. As you jump between sectors, clearing out the local opposition and wresting control of the battlefield back piece by piece, various sub-objectives arise that will demand your immediate attention in some capacity, such as when the ‘Master’ is under attack by an enemy unit or when a series of especially powerful enemies need to be cleared out before they can escape and summon reinforcements. What’s striking about all this is just how dynamic and kinetic these battles often feel; there’s always something happening on the other side of the map that you should probably get involved in, and every minor victory you claim is merely the gateway to another, bigger fight before the level is finally over. This sense of momentum and movement goes a long way towards making each level feel like an actual battle is taking place, where the outcomes of countless isolated squabbles and scuffles add up to cause the tide to shift back and forth and back again constantly as the fight wears on.

Take on Masters across the world.

Every character has unique skills (more on that later), but ultimately shares the same basic moveset for cutting through the endless hordes, and this moveset is ultimately built around the concept of momentum. Your character can pull off flashy, deadly combos through a combination of light and heavy attacks, and every one of the thousands of enemies you defeat contributes a little bit to your ‘Moon Drive’ gauge. Once full, a tap of the ‘A’ button causes your character’s attack and defence to rise dramatically as the gauge slowly empties, and you can choose to either benefit from this buff in battle prowess in full or to empty the gauge early by executing a powerful, screen-clearing attack by tapping the ‘A’ button once again. All kills executed in your Moon Drive also cause your ‘Noble Phantasm’ gauge to gradually fill, and once that’s ready to go, your character can execute a special attack that’s powerful enough to warrant its own (skippable) cutscene as they positively scorch the earth with a ridiculous and over the top attack that’s as bombastic as it is devastating. Through all of this, you can also pepper in ‘Active Skills’ to keep combos going and put boss characters on the ropes by doing things like area of effect attacks and buffing certain stats temporarily; up to four of these skills can be equipped at once and though they each are limited by slight cooldowns.

Knowing when to use them can have an enormous impact on the outcome of your battles. If there’s one thing that Fate/Extella Link absolutely nails, it’s creating a sensation of your character becoming an unstoppable force of nature that no being can possibly hope to overcome; some may no doubt find such a portrayal to be boring due to the lack of tension, but there’s something oddly refreshing about assuming the role of a character whose enemies don’t possess any meaningful chance of winning. When not in combat, you can power up your Servants in the flying castle that acts as your home base, and this is where players are introduced to the myriad customization systems that power progression. Every time your character levels up in battle, they unlock either a new Active Skill or power up an old one, and here you can pick which four skills you want to take with you into battle. You can also equip Install Skills you’ve picked up from felled enemies, which act as passive buffs to things like attack speed, drop rates, and elemental resistances, and Mystic Codes, which act as a sort of ‘armour’ you can wear that grants minor support abilities like healing to your Servant. On top of this, you can also set which side missions you’d like to attempt in the coming mission; clearing minor achievements like “clear 3 sectors while at over 50% HP” will boost your bond level with the Servant that offered that side mission and unlock more Install Skill nodes for them.

Above the ruined earth lies the realm of SE.RA.PH, a virtual world inside a lunar supercomputer. In this last refuge for humanity, powerful Servants — sentient, digital recreations of famous figures from Earth’s lore and history — battle rogue programs (and each other) to establish dominance and enforce their kind of peace. But peace may never come again, now that a new threat has arrived to wage apocalyptic war. Standing against the destruction is the hero Charlemagne, a dashing young knight with a hint of sadness behind his bright smile. Join Charlemagne and his comrades — the bumbling paladin Astolfo, the flamboyant Emperor Nero, the mischievous fox spirit Tamamo no Mae, the cynical rogue Robin Hood, and many others — as they rush across the battlefield in the name of humanity. What’s nice about all these separate, interlocking progression systems is that you can truly spec out a character to be exactly the kind of unit you want them to be, while also giving you the satisfaction of knowing that you’re always moving forward in some fashion and that much of that forward motion applies to all characters. Plus, there’s plenty of nice quality of life features to cut back on the grind somewhat, such as how you can spend currency to level up weak units to your current strongest unit’s level, or how duplicate Install Skills are automatically merged with existing ones to power them up slightly. We were pleased by the depth present in the progression of Fate/Extella Link, as it offers up a bit more complexity than one would expect to find in a typical button mashing Musou game by adding in more RPG elements.FINAL FANTASY IV
