As the trailer above shows, the game is filled with hordes of enemies for the player to hack through. The game is a follow-up to Fate/Extra. It’s set after the Holy Grail War and is told from the perspective of three factions fighting for control over a digital realm called SE.RA.PH. It features a brand new battle mechanic called “Moon Crux” which allows the player to transform during combat.

While the game keeps the original Japanese voice acting, it does come with English subtitles. It also has subtitles for Chinese and Korean also.
