You can spend currency to level up characters, but the further you get in the story, the more you’ll need to spend to get other characters up to par with your main. Despite some minor gripes though, this feels like a high-quality hack and slash experience, with great characters, animations, combat, and a fun story. This is one of the better Warriors-style games out there, and it wasn’t even made by Omega Force.
Overall, Fate/Extella Link is a solid Musou that channels the best of the genre and coats it with a bucket of fresh Fate/ themed paint. The battles are exciting, and changes to them make things flow better and feel more satisfying overall. While That being said, it is a bit lacking in the story department, and it could stand to focus more on other characters rather than giving the entire plot to Charlemagne and the main villain.
Fate/Extella Link is proof that an idea can succeed over time, even if it doesn’t exactly catch on at first. It’s totally okay to jump in and have fun here with all the interesting characters, but it’s also a heck of a ride to try and take in all the context. While the first game is divisive, you can also check out Fate/Extra Last Encore on Netflix as an alternative, then get your feet wet with the first Extella, then really dive into Extella Link.
