From release, the title has drawn attention for its fast-paced combat loop and roguelike progression.
In coverage at launch, several outlets noted strong stylistic similarities between Splintered Fate and Supergiant Games' Hades; reviewers observed that the game’s structure and combat mechanics bore a close resemblance to Hades’ established formula.
