Smart new mechanics add much to the feel of battle, and once your army begins rolling through enemy forces across the continent, it’s hard to stop.’ ‘ Fire Emblem Engage is focused on making the series’ enduring turn-based tactics more compelling, more exciting, more stunning – and the game does an excellent job at that. ‘But when considered in relation to Fire Emblem: Three Houses – specifically, that game’s cohesiveness between narrative and mechanics, which was so strong, well-balanced, and forged such a strong sense of every character and the world they inhabited – it’s clear where Engage’s priorities lie.’ ‘None of these elements are lacklustre by any means – the story is well put together with great performances by the voice cast, the Somniel is conveniently designed to let you blow through post-battle tasks and quickly get ready for the next one, and many of the characters are very lovable, once you put the time in to get to know your favourites. However, we observed that the other aspects Fire Emblem has been notable for, namely its characters and social mechanics, felt like they worked in service of elevating the battle system, rather than standing out as marquee features. In GamesHub‘s four-star review of Fire Emblem Engage, we praised smart improvements to the game’s turn-based tactical combat, which plays and looks better than ever, with features like the Emblem Rings and the Break mechanic raising the stakes of each turn. The design has also seen mixed reception, with repeated comparisons to the previous title in the series, the excellent Fire Emblem: Three Houses. A common talking point has been the game’s focus on strong combat, at the expense of its narrative and social simulation. The first reviews for Fire Emblem Engage, the latest in Nintendo‘s long-running turn-based tactics RPG series, are in – and each points to an overall positive reception among critics.
