After its success in Asia and North America, Europe can finally enjoy the Fate/Grand Order release on Android and iOS. We reveal you our first impressions on this game which mixes tactical RPG and visual novel initially released 7 years ago.

Finally Fate/Grand Order release in Europe

Available since 2015 in Japan, Fate/Grand Order release in Europe will have been long awaited. As a reminder, this game takes up the universe of Fate/stay night of the studio TYPE-MOON. Sent in the past by the Chaldea, the security organization for the preservation of humanity, your mission is to complete the 7 quests for the Holy Grail, called Grand Order, and thus save humanity from its extinction.

Although the Fate/Grand Order release in Europe comes 7 years after the initial release of the game, the title displays very correct anime style graphics, even if the animations seem a bit dated.

In order to improve your team, you must summon hero spirits to help you defeat your enemies. To unlock new characters, the game uses gacha mechanics, with packs of cards to be purchased with in-game currency or real money.

Future-proof gameplay

With this Fate/Grand Order release, a doubt persisted about the quality of the gameplay despite its age. Well, we were pleasantly surprised to see that it has aged very well. F/GO alternates between the narrative phases in visual novel and the RPG combat phases in turn-based.

However, the subtlety of the combat system lies in the fact that you are not free to choose the attacks of your characters. At the beginning of each round, you must choose three of the five cards available to you. The goal is to try to create combos using complementary attacks.

For example, green cards increase critical strike chance, red cards improve damage, while blue cards help fill up the gauge faster to launch a special attack.

So much for our first impressions of Fate/Grand Order release on Android and iOS. Despite our reluctance to test a game released in 2015, we have to admit that this title is still largely at the level of current productions.
