Bit.Trip Fate, marketed as BIT.TRIP FATE, is an

Gaijin Games and published by Aksys Games for the Wii's WiiWare
download service.

Gameplay

Bit.Trip Fate takes place over three environments, each divided into two

boss
encounter. The first environment (stages Determination and Patience) resembles a crystal cavern over a space backdrop, the second (stages Desperation and Frustration) a cityscape filled with skyscrapers, and the third (stages Anger and Fall) an underground pit with rivers of magma.

The game's hybrid mechanics feature a side perspective, resembling a

shoot 'em ups
.

The player's performance and interaction with enemies creates musical feedback which contributes to the stage's soundtrack, providing an element similar to certain music games, particularly Rez. The gameplay is less rhythmically constrained than previous entries in the series, providing more freedom to the player, but also less dynamic feedback.

Development

The game was later bundled with the other five Bit.Trip games as Bit.Trip Complete for the Wii in 2011. A Nintendo Switch port was released on December 25, 2020.[1]

Reception

Bit.Trip Fate received "generally favorable reviews", according to Metacritic.[2]
