Set in Celestia several years after The Guided Fate Paradox, The Awakened Fate Ultimatum follows the defeat of the powerful Satanael, and yet the war between the angels and devils wages on.
Shin Kamikaze, your average high school student, is stabbed in the heart by devils while walking home from school. Before he dies, Shin is saved by Jupiel, an angel from Celestia, who brings him to Ariael, a devil scientist, who shoves the Fate Awakening Crystal into his chest, thus making him God. He is then thrust into this conflict, and must make “Ultimate Choices” involving angel, human and devil lives — determining who will live, and who will die.

The Awakened Fate Ultimatum is the sort of game the gentleman's C was made for. It doesn't do anything innovative or especially fun, but neither is it outright offensive. The game has a solid menu system, its fonts are readable, and numbers go up when upon gaining experience. It's good to watch numbers go up. The story has a lot of words presenting a morally ambiguous war between angels and demons. They're not especially compelling words, but their abundance suggests effort was put into crafting them. Unfortunately, despite this effort, Shin Kamikaze's tale of self-discovery, sacrifice, and friendship rarely connects. Nevertheless, it is.
Dungeon crawlers have evolved quite a lot since their origins, and have taken every shape and form. Transforming from environment to the next, they all consist of quite an entertaining experience, exploring dungeons mainly for items to upgrade your character and make progress easier, or at least try to. The Awakened Fate Ultimatum is a typical dungeon crawler, which combines the typical dungeon gameplay with a neat story and a lot of decisions which influence the upgrades which one may pursue.
