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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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%.
The short version is, this was one of the first titles I picked up on the Switch and it has unexpectedly become my favorite so far. The bonuses in the Special Edition are neat, but if you do not want the soundtrack, just buy the regular edition and you can get the DLC with the difference in price if you want it.I used to play these Warriors games on the PS2 and I figured it might be decent with a Fire Emblem theme, but it actually goes beyond that a little. Instead of just being a basic hack-and-slash kind of game, you can give commands to most of your units and they are actually pretty effective, instead of making you do all the work like in most action games with "strategy/RPG elements."No doubt the actual gameplay will be more familiar to Warriors series ... MoreThe short version is, this was one of the first titles I picked up on the Switch and it has unexpectedly become my favorite so far.

You get a lot of familiar characters, character stats behave about how you would expect, and the weapon effectiveness stuff is all there. All of these things do have real impacts on how the battle proceeds. You can choose the characters you can control in most of the story mode battles and switch between them as needed, and even the ones you have set to be available for control will competently follow your orders when you are not playing as them. You have to be a little careful because characters without orders can end up in situations you do not want them in, but they can usually take care of themselves if you are not keen on interrupting the action to give them new instructions all the time.As far as the bonus things go in the Special Edition, it is a good set of stuff to add on but you are free to debate if the money would be better spent on a DLC season pass (which is not included, oddly). There are cards with full illustrations of the main characters, which is cool but might not be terribly interesting to people who are not big fans of Fire Emblem. The soundtrack was the real bonus for me; it comes on three CDs and is pretty good, containing arrangements of quite a bit of music from the other Fire Emblem games as well as the game's original soundtrack.Overall, this was a game I partially picked up because I thought it would round out my selection of games to play on my new Switch, and it had good enough reviews, but it turned out to be one of my favorites. Would recommend to anyone who likes fantasy-themed action games, especially if they like Fire Emblem or any of the Warriors series. (I have not played Hyrule Warriors yet, but I assume if you like that, you will probably also like this one.)
If you like Musou(Warriors) and Fire Emblem Franchises, ...well...this is your game :) I'm all about gameplay, and this has what I expected and a little more in that aspect.Pros:+ Giving orders to controlled/uncontrolled troops.....this is nice. This kind of existed in 'Dynasty Warriors 8 Complete Edition', but since you there's more named troops in your army, you can tell them to attack, guard location, guard other named troop, pair/unpair with another named troop, heal other named troop....its nice having a lot of options :) especially when win/lose conditions change during battle. This makes the more difficult mission swing to an even scale based on how good of Commander you are.+ Pairing System to make your controlled and uncontrolled troops more ... MoreIf you like Musou(Warriors) and Fire Emblem Franchises, ...well...this is your game :) I'm all about gameplay, and this has what I expected and a little more in that aspect.Pros:+ Giving orders to controlled/uncontrolled troops.....this is nice.

This makes the more difficult mission swing to an even scale based on how good of Commander you are.+ Pairing System to make your controlled and uncontrolled troops more powerful+ The Double Special (Double Musou) attacks are flashy & fun.+ The Crest System is a copypasta of the Hyrule Warriors, but still a nice implementation of using items you gain from battle. Helps you augment your troops to have a better advantage over the Weapon Triangle system.Cons:- Story.....not that I had much faith in the beginning to be WOW'd by the story of another Musou game, but It's there, it drives the narrative, sets the stage for each battle (since battles are the more likable feature). It's far-fetched and and put's unimaginative effort into how different FE characters exist in the same timeframe. Whatever, It's not a big deal to me, but those who like story, I believe you'll be disappointed.- No Online Multiplayer or Online Co-Op.....Wasn't in Hyrule Warriors, and it's not in this game. There's still 2 player couch play as long as you have an extra controller...it seems you can get around that by handing a joycon to player 2 but there's only one analog stick for movement, not 2nd for camera control...so I can imagine that's a little frustrating.All-in-all, a good game. If you already have Super Mario Odyssey and Zelda Breath of the Wild, then I recommend to pickup as your next title for your Switch library.
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 story mode campaign is fairly easy ... MoreItem arrived in perfect condition as described.

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.
If you have played any Dynasty Warriors (Musou in Japanese) game or Hyrule Warriors, you kind of know the basic gist of the game. However, the Fire Emblem crossover allows this to be a lot more tactical, which makes me like this game a lot more than what Hyrule Warriors did for Zelda. The game allows you to pause the game, and command units to move to certain areas of the map, whether to defend a fort, capture a fort, or heal another character. It's basically like a semi real time strategy Fire Emblem game, where you can personally control a select few characters during the battle.You can switch any time between the playable characters, which is necessary because the classic Fire Emblem weapons triangle comes into play here.

Need to take over a fort with a polearm defender? Switch to your axe user and take it over, while you can command your sword user(s) to move towards forts that give them an advantage. That's the basic gist of Fire Emblem Warriors, and it's executed very well.The last few comments I'll make are that the story is definitely on the weaker side, especially since they're crossing over characters from multiple Fire Emblem games, along with the fan service that came with Fire Emblem Awakening and Fates on the 3DS. Whether you think of that as a plus or not, it's up to you, but I'm personally not a fan of the deep otaku fan service, and I'm able to just push through it because the gameplay is just so good in this game. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a healthy mix of strategy and action, especially if you're a fan of the more recent Fire Emblem games. I don't think the Fire Emblem series and Warriors series could have been crossed over any better in terms of gameplay.
I will start this review for the crowd that are not video game savvy. This game has many layers to it and they are free for you to explore. This title luckily has options and settings to allow the game to satisfy all types of players. From those that just want a simple hack and slash to the die hard strategy fire emblem fans. The gameplay itself is great and with a large roster of characters it seems there is alot to work towards and achieve. Graphics wise the game is great and gets the job done but occasionally has a hard time rendering near by enemies since the game is generating a battlefield with enemies and allies well near 100 at a time. The music is well done and creates a great atmosphere for the action or event he conversations between characters.

The music is well done and creates a great atmosphere for the action or event he conversations between characters. One great feature for this game unlike other turn based RPGs is it seems all of the dialogue has been done for those who enjoy just to listen along with the text. The game does have a bit of repetition but since, once again, the roster of characters is so large you can mix things up and keep things fresh with different teams. Another feature that I really need to say is a huge selling point for me is that there is local co-op. That means two players can fight on the same battlefield side by side from just one switch console. This has been great for me and my friends on the go for an easy pick up and play hack and slash party. If this is your first Fire Emblem title you may get lost at first with all the references but you can manage with out those and learn the notorious triangle of combat from the Fire Emblem series, aka rock, paper, scissors.The last thing i want to talk about is the "Special Edition" of this game. You receive these very well hard printed images of each individual character and their sprite used in the mini map of the game. A nice touch for the gamers that have played previous fire emblem titles. It also comes with a fold out poster of all the previous titles of this game. Lastly is the soundtrack for the game. It has 3 discs of the games score and they are nice listens for anyone that appreciates the music put into the game.
The reviews have been generally positive, if not thrilled, about this follow-up to the Wii U's Hyrule Warriors (featuring Fire Emblem characters rather than those from the Legend of Zelda franchise). That said, my experience has been universally praiseworthy.The game includes, from the start, at least a hundred hours worth of content. Some of this could be considered 'grinding,' but the moment to moment gameplay is consistently engaging due to the great performance and strategic twists. Unlike virtually any other Musou/Warriors game, your allies in this one can actually be effective on the battlefield as you direct them to secure key points on a map or defeat specific opponents who are weak to their weaponry. For better or for worse, ignoring your allies and ... MoreThe reviews have been generally positive, if not thrilled, about this follow-up to the Wii U's Hyrule Warriors (featuring Fire Emblem characters rather than those from the Legend of Zelda franchise).

Unlike virtually any other Musou/Warriors game, your allies in this one can actually be effective on the battlefield as you direct them to secure key points on a map or defeat specific opponents who are weak to their weaponry. For better or for worse, ignoring your allies and objectives will often result in a lost battle; this does lead to more compelling play, but prevents the kind of mindless battling that the series is known for - adjust your expectations accordingly.Perhaps the most surprising fact is that Fire Emblem fans will find much to recognize in this game despite it more generally resembling standard Musou/Warriors mechanics. Immediately recognizable are the characters - though the roster can reasonably be criticized for focusing on three core games (Fire Emblem Awakening, Fates, and Shadow Dragon) - but small touches resemble Fire Emblem as well. Maps resemble those in the classic strategy games, characters are represented in menu screens by pixel art from the respective titles, and level up moments or special attacks feature sound effects and a pop-up image of the character like one would find in the Fire Emblem series. The most important element is the strategic depth, though, which becomes critical enough in the postgame that the player feels he or she is actually playing a Fire Emblem strategy game in which he or she gets to complete the skirmishes manually.If you can't tell, I love this game. One final detail that reveals the developers' respect for their audience is the inclusion of a choice between playing in Performance or Quality modes when docked; Performance mode presents the game in a 720p resolution at 60 frames per second, while Quality mode presents the game in a 1080p resolution at 30 frames per second. I prefer the former, and don't find that it contrasts poorly with the game's established 30 frames per second in portable mode. Those with a bigger television, less sensitive to frame rates, or more sensitive to resolutions, will likely choose Quality mode. The availability of the choice is a very nice one, though!
