Nintendo Fire Emblem Warriors 3DS Game

I originally played this game around release and had high hopes that it would be a memorable 3DS JRPG. I was not disappointed. The developers Grezzo are also responsible for titles like The Alliance Alive and The Legend of Legacy. Both of which are solid titles I also highly recommend. The music and graphics make good use of the 3DS' capabilities. The controls and battle system is quick and fairly simple all happening in real-time. It also has a weird yet satisfying city-builder mechanic as you progress through the story. The only complain I would have is that it doesn't come with a manual but the average pricing is more than fair at the time of writing.

Bought this game on a whim, was not disappointed. I've never really played Fire Emblem, so I didn't really know the characters much outside of Super Smash Bros, but I was instantly hooked on the smooth character designs and flashy fighting sequences. The gameplay is definitely the most enjoyable part-- the aforementioned graphics are exciting; the Weapon Triangle, type advantage/disadvantages, and Pair Up system add an excellent strategy element to what would be just a kill-everything fighting game; and the ability to switch between and command characters adds more mulitasking and strategy to the mix. Of course, the game is not without its flaws. The story is rather lacking in terms of real depth and development, which didn't surprise me much. There's also a certain ... MoreBought this game on a whim, was not disappointed.

Of course, the game is not without its flaws. The story is rather lacking in terms of real depth and development, which didn't surprise me much. There's also a certain amount of grinding that may or may not be necessary to progress once "late-game" hits (I don't actually know for sure, as I haven't gotten to that point yet), which, compounded with the fact that the game likely starts to become stale after a couple dozen hours of play, might be a turn-off to some people. Still, the game is very enjoyable, and is probably worth buying just to experience the flashy graphics and unique fusion of strategy and hack-and-slash. Fire Emblem fans should buy it 100%.

Item arrived in perfect condition as described. You've probably read about reviews on this game or played this already yourself so most of this review will be similar, if not, the same. If you're a fan of Tecmo Koei's other hack n' slash type games like Dynasty/Samurai warriors you'll enjoy this. The game also borrows elements from the Fire Emblem franchise itself such as weaknesses and the weapon triangle system. Much like the fire emblem games you can also build supports as well pair up units in the more recent Fire Emblem games such as Awakening and Fates. The game has two campaign modes: Story and History mode. The story combines the events of Fire Emblem (original), Awakening and Fates and adds its own twist to the story.

The game has two campaign modes: Story and History mode. The story combines the events of Fire Emblem (original), Awakening and Fates and adds its own twist to the story. The story mode campaign is fairly easy in that you can easily complete it on hard mode the first time. It shows you gameplay elements and teaches along the way. During the stages, there will be missions that are optional to complete but doing so will dictate the flow of the battle. History mode offers more of a challenge where the enemies are generally stronger and require you to have knowledge of the game's mechanics to clear them sufficiently. Some maps in historic mode will also have character or weapon limitations so only certain units can be played in those maps. This mode is definitely suitable for those who have played older warrior titles. There is also a lot of unlockable content in the game in the form of weapons, skills and characters. The game also has downloadable content but sadly that is locked behind a paywall. Nonetheless the game is still a great experience and enjoyable even without it. I'd definitely recommend giving this game a go.
