Love the game, fun to play, got me a nice servant rooster so far. Got erice and Voyager and a few other 4 stats and mordred as well. The only thing I dislike is the amount of storage it takes up compared to other mobile games, each scene taking up more and more data. Hopefully next game if they ever decide on it works around this problem. I understand why it happens, but it just painful for the phone when issues start to happen. Other then that its manageable.
FGO while it does have plenty of pitfalls that everyone complains about has this level of charm that causes you to overlook the flaws and focus more on the fun aspects. And the best example of this is the story, while slow at the start is one of the biggest reasons I still play the game. I'd also like to say that the game is slowly becoming more and more newbie friendly without sacrificing the effort made by long time players.
I've been playing this game since launch. And have never had a single issue. But due to a recent patch my game now suddenly hangs when I'm servants cast their Noble Phantasms or just normal play. I've put a lot of time (And Money) into this game because I absolutely love it. But I'd really like to see this issue fixed soon. It's making it hard to play effectively
The game overall is pretty good. The game itself is enjoyable. The servers are 2 years behind Japan's, but that's only because the game was originally intended for only being released there. The game is stable and it has a good plot to it. It can be pretty funny at times, overall really enjoyable. Some characters are completely obsolete, though. Rates are awful but you can still beat the game with only 1*-3s* and welfares.
Gameplay as it is looks very basic and simple. Designs vary by artist but are mostly above average. The characterization, voices and variety of characters are impressive for the most part. Unit balance is done such that all unit rarities are somewhat usable. Events offer a ton of variety in gameplay mechanics and content. Draw rates are average and saving is very important for desired units. On the other hand, major problems are the lack of a pity system and the extremely long AP/energy/stamina recharge which can take as much as half a day. Story is also done by varying writers which can affect the quality, with some being great (for a mobile game) or somewhat terrible and shallow. Nonetheless, it's a great game for everyone especially for those interested in historical and mythological figures/events.
Re-Review... I've been playing for about a year so figured I'd give another one. This is one of those games with great amount of content. I still wish there was a faster way to collect gems for summoning. There are so many great characters but it feels impossible to get some of the best ones. Anyway, I lost my account and figured I was screwed but after I emailed them, they went and searched for my account. They found it the next day. I forgot how refreshing good customer service is sometimes.
The main pull of the game is its story. It's brilliant! Great characters and world building with some excellent music to go along with it. However it's gacha rates are horrible so good luck trying to get the servant you want. Also the game play is a lot to be desired. It's not bad per se, but it's very lacking. I'm not good at describing the gameplay but if you look at some YouTube videos that will give a great idea on how the system works. So play for the story.
The game consumes a lot of storage and memory, so with more updates, more device memory cleaning and RAM boosting required. At some point I had to reinstall the app to solve the crash issues. The overall plot is nice, but with different writers come discrepancies in storytelling styles, and unfortunately it affects the gameplay. There are various character arts to be enjoyed, although animation leaves more to be desired. Gacha rate for SSRs and farming are fun while can be hellish at times.
For the last 3-4 weeks the game has been crashing or freezing despite the latest update which "fixes various bugs" the game is still having the same issues and has broken the habit of playing the game for me. Having these issues persist doesn't encourage me to either play the game let alone spend money when I know that I'll be wasting my time having to reload the game.
It looks like my original review post was deleted. GG. Way to pad rating stats. 4/7/22 edit: Game still leaves a lot to be desired, especially in the gameplay. This doesn't mean it's a bad game; it's good, just very dated. Also, while there are different modes, each one uses the same stamina, which is in short supply, limiting play time. Try using other types of energy for other modes, especially for those awesome events.
If you have even a passing interest in the Fate expanded universe, you'll at least learn to like FGO with time. Looking at this game through the eyes of a non-weeb, the story and writing aren't world-changing, but for an optionally free game, you're basically getting a series of decent novels. The lottery aspects are indeed stingy, but not unforgiving. Not as generous as, say, FFBE, but you can trudge through the quests by power-leveling a single OP F2P like Lancer Cu.
Pros: free!, great story, lots of awesome heroes to collect, easy to learn combat mechanics, fair drop rate on (most) items needed to level up characters, and fun rewarding events. Cons: very low drop rates on heroes, overpriced in game currency with no special offers or deals and my poor experience with customer service almost lost me my account. Overall: Great game! Especially for fans of the Fate series. 2022: Still going strong! Game is still great! Sadly, the cons haven't changed though.
In the beggining my experience was rough, no guides, no advice (did not know where to find.)till I reached the last parts of the LB's but still made it in the last current parts of the game. Story, art, event, and gameplay is 10/10 The events' story/lore is always enjoyable to me, with many rewards except for the High Diff quest. Tutorial was easy to understand. Connection is also good. I love Fate series so yeah I play it.
I would rate this 3.5 it is good like in arts,design battle mechanics and the story and the sounds too but the biggest downpart is the no auto battle system like ive been playing for a while and still no update about implementing this like it would help me a lot since im busy at certain times so it would really help me manage my time but not its getting tiring like you need to be constantly playing so i hope someday it would get implemented i hope. But for now i think im gonna quit.Great game👍
It's a great game but you do eventually get burned hard. Happens to the best of us. Still it's a good game. Salty or not. The beginning translation needs work. The animations got updated but there's a few typos in Orleans still. Honestly it still holds interest many years later and continues to focus on story content. Minus one star for losing 1200 Saint quartz and 130 tickets to not get summer archer.
This game's story is just so good, first 7 chapters are alright, Chapter 6 and 7 are really good but like not ground breaking kind of good, you get 4 extra chapters, they are fun, some are challenging but they are optional, but then oh boy, Lostbelts, the second part of the game, the story is FIRE, best story I've seen in a mobile game like Jesus the amount of lore there is is fascinating, the characters ecpically the villains are so well written with good motives, and the gameplay is alr ig
I love this game. It has good graphics, events, and heros. But however the most annoying thing is that when im playing or I click on something, it randomly freezes or kicks me out. Please fix this, it's getting really annoying.
Great characters, great story (although it starts off very bland) and many fun strategies and memes to try out. Very f2p friendly as well (rates are trash, though). Edit: the game has been improving at a steady pace and the NA server is fortunately getting several major updates way ahead of schedule.
I've enjoyed the game quite a bit in my time playing it. In-game purchases are a bit expensive, but the resources that are purchaseable can be obtained through in-game means simply by playing. The battles do eventually get monotonous and there is no auto battle system, but if you play the game less often and enjoy the story bits between battle this downside is much less apparent. There are LOADS of events that generally last 2 weeks each. The events are frequent & interesting... Character Limit.
Been playing since the English version launched but this recent update has made the game completely unstable, and crashing constantly. I've done a lot of troubleshooting from phone resolution to memory allotment and nothing seems to be helping. Would really like to continue playing.
I play this every single day and never really had a problem other than once when if wouldn't start at all. Now the game keeps crashing ever since the last update and doesn't even let me have the screen on for more than 1 minute. I tried reseting, restarting, moving the data and anything else I could think of but nothing works, this things needs a big patch before it's playable again.
I think it has too many characters... BUT, other than that, and the rather poor drop rates for the servants that people generally want, I personally enjoy it more than other games. I'm thinking of restarting again though, so I can get a better gold(colour on the the card) servant in the tutorial summon (Small edit) I wouldn't mind if more characters were added anyway, makes the game more enjoyable IMO
I've been playing this game for over two years. Truthfully, it's more a 4.5/5 but I don't see a way to give half stars, so I rounded up! I have amazing luck with the gatcha but some other players do not. Highly recommended if you want something both engaging and (generally) simple with anime characters.
10/28 A nice Complex game that I couldn't play as I didn't have time, but the tutorial is a bit long. 5/23. FGO seems simple till later on in the game. Only thing I wanna add is now I can say the Story definitely gets good but if you like games with auto feature you are going to hate this game 😭. It's definitely got fights that are hard and, more importantly, different but DAMN you better get a triple NP/loop team ASAP. GL on Castoria you traitors of skadi. Voyager best looper no contest 😤❤️😤
Ever since the new update, the game has been freezing and kicking me off the game. It didn't used to do that in the last updates. It ever since the new event has come out now matter what I do, it'll freeze and kick me out. Even if I'm just in the terminal screen looking at the news.
This game is scintillating in its story, its simple gameplay mechanics, especially the waifus and etc. I would highly recommend it to others. However, do take notice that those who have compulsive spending habits should steer clear of this game as it may more or less ruin you financially.
It is a good game with great writing, but after a while farming is a chore so i hope auto farming will become a thing(many of my friends dropped this game cuz of that), also the game closes itself sometimes which gets annoying if it happens many times in a row (occuring more often then before now)
I play this game every other month or so. Some times I pay attention to events, but I really just farm items and pull for Servants most of the time. I really like seeing characters that I've seen in the anime adaptations.
I seem to be having an issue where the game will crash during certain attacks which have a high amount of particles and effects. I only started playing again since the seven sword beauties event started. I have a samsung s10 on android version 12
I've been playing this game since release and I love it. But since this last update, the game has become difficult to play at best. Constant crashes makes farming take so much longer. I'm trying to play through this recent event, but the character you're up against causes the game to crash if it uses a certain animation. Hope they fix this soon.
