Fire Emblem Engage | 15th Jul, 2023 | 68:30hrs | rating: 4/5
Feel smart once again in this turn-based chess-like strategy game full of uninteresting anime dialog.
GAMEPLAY: It’s been a while since I played Fire Emblem, but it grew on me more and more, until I was finally addicted and played all the side-content just so it wouldn’t end. It’s just an extremely satisfying game-loop!
AUDIOVISUALLY: Music is great and memorable, and the visuals are a big step up from Three Houses.
STORY/PRESENTATION: The story is generic, and I just wish they’d ditch avatars, the time wasting hubs, fan service and grinding in general, and gave a more focused experienced like Path of Radiance. It could be so much better!!
There’s a lot I’m unhappy with in this game, but the gameplay is addicting as always, and it’s one of few series I can spend 8 hours straight without getting tired.
