Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star/YMMV


 * Base Breaker: Altera. Some fans criticize her as being an absurd gender bend of Atilla the Hun, and a rather boring one at that. Others defend her, arguing that her dynamic with Hakuno is unique for the series, and that she is practically the only character original to the game.
 * Contested Sequel: Given the switch in genres and that games of this style have never been as popular in the west as in Japan, this is perhaps to be expected. Detractors criticize the gameplay as repetitive and the story as lacking compared to the original, while fans defend the gameplay as more enjoyable than the "rock-paper-scissors" RPG formula of Fate/EXTRA. Opinions on the plot, meanwhile, tend to be split between fans of Nero and fans of Tamamo.
 * Ron the Death Eater: Many Tamamo fans were off-put by her cruel treatment towards Bathory and her lack of much role past being a Moment Killer in the true route. It didn't help that Tamamo's route is also the least consequential and most fanservice-based of the four.
 * Ship-to-Ship Combat: The game favors Nero x Hakuno as the official couple; given Nero is the heroine of the true route, and the Word of God suggestion that the story follows the ending of CCC in which the two wed. By contrast, Altera is reborn as a child, whereas Tamamo is relegated to a clingy jealous girl. However, the ending of the game does leave some ambiguity, and given that there is already a fair bit of tension between Nero and Tamamo fans, it's only natural that this would manifest in ship wars.
 * Spotlight-Stealing Squad: A common criticism of the game's treatment of Nero, who is the only character with two routes: both the first and the final/true route, nonetheless.
