Gameplay[]
As with the previous games Fate/Extra and Fate/Extra CCC on the PlayStation Portable, the gameplay for Fate/Extra: Master Edition can be compared to that of Atlus's Shin Megami Tensei: Persona series, as it incorporates a lot of dungeon crawling, special attacks and a "Japanese High School" theme.
Combat is carried out in six-move turns, with the core combat moves operating in a fashion similar to rock-paper-scissors; heavy BREAK attacks smash through defensive GUARD, a quick ATTACK can strike a foe before they can land a BREAK, and a GUARD can deflect a light ATTACK and allow the defender to retaliate. Successfully performing a 3 chain combo attack enables your Servant to perform an EX ATTACK without the enemy from being able to defend against it, though do keep in mind that all enemies are capable of doing this as well if you failed to stop them from successfully doing this to your Servant three times.
Servants and a number of monsters are capable of using a SKILL, which can be used to either benefit them or attack the opponent with, causing either damage or a status ailment. A SKILL is can be used first before whatever move the opponent makes, but if both combatants have a SKILL on the same move, then the one with the most agility between the two will utilize that SKILL first. Although do note that some SKILL abilities may leave your Servant at the mercy of an enemy ATTACK or BREAK.
Masters are able to use Item or Code Cast during battle. Almost every item can be used to heal health or cure the status of your Servant, while Code Casts can range from abilities that help your Servant or cause trouble to the enemy. Finally, under certain conditions, Servants are able to use their ultimate trump card ability, which is known as a Noble Phantasm, these ultimate abilities have different effects depending on the Servant that activates it.
