NWR: "Bit.Trip Fate, the fifth game in the Bit.Trip series, is a rhythm-based, side-scrolling, twin-stick shoot-'em-up. Now, let's break that down. Like the rest of the games in the series, Fate is based around chiptune music that is altered as you play the game. This entry is a shooter in which you guide the heroic Commander Video along a line while attacking enemies and avoiding their fire."
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."
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.
