    Fate is much more frantic than its modest graphics might suggest.

    Fate is another solid entry in the series just watch out for those insane boss battles.

    WiiWare's most consistent series of downloads returns with a unique take on the 2D shooter and the most literal on-the-rails action ever.

  1. This game is a game I couldn't stop playing. I was drawn in by retro-style visuals, brilliant soundtrack, and great challenges. And the way the announcer roars what level of shooting you're at? Brilliant! Expand

    If you like "on-rails" shooters, this is a great game. If you hate this genre of games, you will hate this game, and stop reading this review now. Overall this is my 2nd favorite Bit.Trip game, and is a ton of fun. It is definitely a difficult game, but I keep coming back for more because of the addicting simplicity of it, combined with the brilliant soundtrack.

    This is honestly the most casual of the Bit.Trip games. You can just take it easy and blast everything out of existence without much trouble on the first several levels, though boss fights are challenging (enough). The powerups are excellent, and I feel like this is the most rewarding of all the Bit.Trip games when it comes to replay value. Unless you dislike challenging games, I strongly recommend this one

  3. Fate es tal vez la oveja negra de la saga. Lo rítmico de los títulos anteriores pasa a segundo plano para traer un shooter donde los rieles en el avance son demasiado obvios (mas allá de que se ven en la pantalla). La compatibilidad con el Zapper no logró que el juego alcanzara el nivel deseado y la quinta entrga de Bit.Trip. paso sin pena ni gloria. Expand
