Unboxing: Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star – Moon Crux Edition (PS Vita)

Following on from the official unboxing by Marvelous Games we now provide you with our own thoughts on this European Exclusive ‘Moon Crux Edition’ of Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star; but unlike the video published by Marvelous Games our unboxing will focus on the PlayStation Vita version of the Moon Crux Edition and the contents it contains. So; let’s get straight to it!

Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star a PS Vita and PS4 game; a game which acts as a spiritual sequel to the PSP Game Fate/EXTRA and sees the victor of the Holy Grail War under a new type of threat. Unlike past Fate games Fate/EXTELLA has been developed as a fast-paced hack-and-slash action game mixed with visual novel dialogue elements so players can expect a mixture of both extensive dialogue and intense high-speed-gameplay with a variety of servants from the entire Fate Universe; as demonstrated in our gameplay video.

This Moon Crux Edition however, which is exclusive to Europe through the Marvelous Games Store; bundles the game base game (either PS Vita or PS4) with a selection of collectable physical content. In this case a cloth poster, which features rings at the top of each corner so that it can easily be hanged, a hardback materials book which features 130-pages worth of content ranging from character bios, character artwork, concept drawing, background designs and extensive information about the game, as well as sixteen premium art-cards with each one representing a different playable servant within the game. All of this content, as well as the game itself, is packaged inside a foil carded box which – when reflected in light – reveals a variety of artwork and, more importantly, a plastic o-card wraps around the box to protect it from damage.

From a collector’s stand point this Moon Crux Edition has been treated with care and attention; its not your usual collectors piece which would see DLC or a soundtrack selection included and it’s obvious that Marvelous Games want to give their fans something special. You can view this collector’s edition in more detail in our unboxing below; but the game itself will be available at retail (and as a digital download) from the 20th January 2017 within the UK, Europe and Australia. This Moon Crux Edition however is exclusive to the Marvelous Games Store.
