GameZebo - The last Bit.Trip game to hit PC, Bit.Trip Fate is the penultimate entry in the six-title saga detailing Commander Video’s birth, life, death, and beyond. Although Fate fulfills the Bit.Trip model of “rhythm game wrapped in another genre,” it focuses more on gameplay than music, operating as an on-rails side-scrolling shooter that is supported—but not defined—by its dubstep soundtrack. This grants players more freedom, but also reduces the power of music and actions in the world of Fate.
Twinfinite counts down the 6 most bittersweet endings in video games. These endings will leave you on a low note when the credits end.
From the review: "Bit.Trip FATE is a fun game, but definitely not the best in the series. While it is a good challenge, a lot of the time it feels more tedious than fun, especially for a rail-shooter type game that literally has you on a fixed rail. While not a bad game in any sense, there are better Bit.Trip games out there."
Dave Payerle writes: Up until now, my experience with the BIT.TRIP series has been limited to running through levels, dodging enemies and obstacles. BIT.TRIP FATE retains the old school look but places Commander Video in an on-rails shooter, blasting his way through hordes of enemies. The game has its fun elements, but can become repetitive quickly.
