CheatCC says, "With the bizarre turn that Fate makes for the series, I'm interested to see where Commander Video will ultimately end up in the last planned Bit.Trip game. Now that the series has a firmly established identity, Fate seems to take Bit.Trip in an interesting narrative direction, with the idea of fate both being literally tied to the gameplay as well as the progression into a seeming meta-hell the Commander is forced to descend into."
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.
