A musou title with a Fate skin, Extella is a button-mashing romp where you command Servants to capture zones and obliterate hordes. Its appeal lies in the satisfying spectacle of unleashing flashy special attacks and the strategic depth of managing territories on the battlefield. The game's narrative, while dense with Fate lore, offers a compelling framework for its chaotic combat, ensuring that players have a reason to keep hacking and slashing.
