Fate/Tiger Colosseum[a] is a fighting game developed by Cavia and Type-Moon. It was released on July 27, 2007 in Japan exclusively for the PlayStation Portable, and is rated for all ages.[2][3] The game is based on Type-Moon's visual novel Fate/stay night. All the characters are rendered in a 3D chibi-style.[4] Type-Moon would later go on to produce a spin-off titled Fate/tiger colosseum Upper in August 2008.[5][6]

Characters

Playable characters in the game include Archer, Rin Tōsaka, Shirō Emiya, Sakura Matō, Saber, and Taiga Fujimura.[7][8]

All characters from the Fate/stay night series, as well as the main characters of Fate/hollow ataraxia, Bazett Fraga McRemitz and Caren Ortensia, make an appearance as playable characters.[9]

A bonus character was also seen as a new addition to the roster of characters. That character was revealed as Saber dressed in a lion costume (to represent her favorite animal) wielding a piece of meat. In the trailers all she says is "Gao Gao Gao!"—the Japanese onomatopoeia for a roar.

Reception

Fate/tiger colosseum was the 4th best-selling game during its first week of release in Japan, according to sources from the Japanese sales analysis website Media Create's Weekly Ranking, selling 54,880 copies.[10] It then rose to 3rd place with 64,530 copies sold.[11] Its final sales figure was 68,677 units sold in Japan.[12]

The game received scores of 70/70/70/60 from Dengeki and 25 out of 40 (7/6/6/6) from Famitsu.[13][14]
