If you've played a Warriors game then you know what to expect. Tons of enemies to hack and slash your way through and use your specials to wipe out a bunch of them at once. This one has two-player co-op after the first three missions. The frame rate can chug a bit, but their is an option for performance to turn down the visuals for a bit to get a higher frame rate-- though I wouldn't say it reaches 60 fps when playing co-op. Their are still some time when enemies would not be as populous in some areas if there are too many in the other player's area. Despite all that, the game is fun and still feels rewarding after tearing through thousands of enemies.The main differences between this game and other Warriors games are that the characters are obviously Fire Emblem ... MoreIf you've played a Warriors game then you know what to expect.

Their are still some time when enemies would not be as populous in some areas if there are too many in the other player's area. Despite all that, the game is fun and still feels rewarding after tearing through thousands of enemies.The main differences between this game and other Warriors games are that the characters are obviously Fire Emblem themed. The weapon triangle also appears in this game, but with only a few exceptions, you don't need to worry too much about. You can also pair up two units together on the battlefield and they add a few extra benefits, including raising their support to get rare materials. You can also send your other characters commands to take over a base or to run away if things get too perilous for them.There are also quite a bit of missions to do in the History mode after completing the main story. Their are some collectables in the main story that you have to revisit and some on higher difficulties. You can also upgrade your characters a lot, and you will need a lot of materials dropped by the enemies and some received by characters through support leveling up.Overall, this game is fun to play with a friend that will make you feel like the hero you are playing without too much difficulty. It has a lot of things to unlock after the main story if you wish to pursue that, and DLC is to be released in the future. Pick it up if you want a great Warriors experience with some Fire Emblem themed characters.

Hi everyone, I'm back with another review...this time it's a spinoff to one of my favorite Nintendo franchises, Fire Emblem! Before I begin, let me state that this game ONLY works on the "New" Nintendo 3DS line (New 3DS, New 2DS and their XL counterparts) family, so those of you that own a standard 3DS, XL, or 2DS, this game isn't supported. Also, the game only display's in 2d and not 3d, regardless of the system. Okay, now that that's been cleared up, let's begin, shall we? Fire Emblem Warriors released on the New 3DS line and the Switch back in October of 2017. As a big Fire Emblem fan, I purchased it on the Switch on release day, but this isn't about the Switch version, now is it? I've own a New 3DS XL for a almost a month, and this was the very first game I ... MoreHi everyone, I'm back with another review...this time it's a spinoff to one of my favorite Nintendo franchises, Fire Emblem!

As a big Fire Emblem fan, I purchased it on the Switch on release day, but this isn't about the Switch version, now is it? I've own a New 3DS XL for a almost a month, and this was the very first game I purchased for it.If you've play any of the Dynasty Warriors and their many spinoffs, (Warriors Orochi, Pirate Warriors, Samurai Warriors etc. and Nintendo's own Hyrule Warriors (Zelda's take on the franchise) then you're right at home. If not, the game plays like a hack'n slash mixed in with Fire Emblem's stable tactical gameplay that the series is known for. In story mode, you chose between two young lord characters as you try the save their kingdom, which is on the brink of destruction. Along the way, you'll come across numerous Fire Emblem heroes from previous games who will lend you their strength and aid you in battle as yours to control. The weapon triangle, a Fire Emblem stable is in full effect, so planning carefully is key. Like in Fire Emblem, you can command your forces on the battlefield and give them orders, such as pair up (a mechanic that debuted in Fire Emblem Awakening), guarding, duel strike, healing, and more. One mistake can make or break you.As you play through the game's story mode, you'll unlock a variety of modes, including History Mode, the coliseum, training grounds, forging and shopping and more. On note, I'd like to mention that the game does have dlc, so if you run out of things to do, check it out. It's great! All in all, the game serves as nice spinoff the the series and is a nice way to get newcomers into the series alongside its mobile sister, Fire Emblem Heroes, which I highly recommend. I'm still playing through, and probably will for a long while. Take care everyone!

Do you enjoy playing Dynasty Warriors? If yes, keep reading if no just stop, this game isn't going to change your mind. Also, for Fire Emblem fans, this game is not going to make you think as hard as a traditional Fire Emblem game. The features they brought over from Fire Emblem work well to allow your decisions over your army to feel like they matter more than a normal dynasty warriors game, but that isn't saying much.Fire Emblem Warriors ties a lot of features into a typical warriors game. My favorite of which is the high control-ability of your AI officers. You can direct your officers to defend, attack and even heal the various objectives on a map and they'll actually succeed! Gone are the days your named officer outright loses to a generic officer forcing you ... MoreDo you enjoy playing Dynasty Warriors?

My favorite of which is the high control-ability of your AI officers. You can direct your officers to defend, attack and even heal the various objectives on a map and they'll actually succeed! Gone are the days your named officer outright loses to a generic officer forcing you to run all the way across the map to secure an objective. As long as you are paying attention to the weapon triangle (Sword > Axe > Lance > Sword for anyone who isn't familiar with fire emblem) then you can confidently command your allies and manage objectives at a very respectable speed.Having said that the AI is still tragically bad when you actually are within eye sight to watch them. They will still attack at typical Dynasty Warrior speeds of once every 30 seconds or so making you wonder how they could ever conquer objectives as fast as they do when you aren't there to watch them.Outside of the AI the player controlled game play is very much dynasty warriors standard. Find your favorite character and combos and beat the tar out of everything you see. The campaign is about 10-15 hours long and I haven't finished the post-campaign content which requires replaying the campaign maps with new objectives.
