The Awakened Fate Ultimatum is a Japanese RPG game that uses the not-so-popular dungeon crawler system to generate the levels. It’s a sequel to The Guided Fate Paradox, which was released in 2013. You play as Shin Kamikaze (aka “God”) who used to be a regular schoolboy until he was killed by devils and resurrected by angels. The game has you make decisions throughout to determine the progress of the plot with a ‘good’ and ‘bad’ decision accompanying each situation. You’re guided through the game by Jupey and Ariael who represent good and bad respectfully.

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.
