Gameplay was fun enough, character selection… not so much. I get that they only wanted to focus on a select amount of games in the series, but did we really need to reuse movesets? Why does Marth have the same moveset as Celica??

Fun and mindless game. Being able to turn Sakura and her magic-damaging bow into a walking blender was pretty epic and funny ngl

this is the game your unemployed friend is playing at 2am on a tuesday

this was my first ever switch game. I was so bored of the whole warriors thing a couple days in, but also fire emblem so its ok

just like. fun mechanically. i don’t enjoy warriors games but the grind here kept me coming back


In comparison to Hyrule Warriors, I think this one is better and has a better storyline. I was just a little sad that you can't do anything else after completing the story mode, there is nothing left to do unlike in Hyrule Warriors which has side missions. I like how you can command your troops to move around the map and don't have to babysit your outposts to win. I enjoyed to play it and is a good addition to the dynasty warrior nintendo games.

what can you expect from a fanservice crossover game. road taken flame

Nice characters very similar too many blue haired fellas

Ich habe bitte wirklich herausgefunden worum es in diesem Spiel überhaupt geht :D

>not playing this KAMIGE on new 3DS

This game fucking blows. It's easy enough to play, but god damn there's little to nothing to make moment to moment gameplay not feel stagnant and the roster is such dogshit ass. I can't believe they expected you to spend money on this DLC when most of the characters are barely reskins of existing characters in the main roster. They gave Tharja the ass pose in this game and I am somehow giving it a low score, that's how much this shit sucks.

Upon first getting my Switch last year, I had a list of games that I had always wanted to try. Though I could tell this game still lacked the soul of Fire Emblem, I always wanted to get an introduction into the Warriors subseries, whatever you wanna call it, through something I could recognize. Never really cared much about Zelda, and even Breath of the Wild disappointed me with its walkthrough requirement, considering I never had 60+ hours of time to waste accomplishing nothing, grinding against super tanky bad guys wandering around the land or something.

When I eventually got this game, I had very low expectations, considering I was one of the people who got angry at this game's lackluster representation for the series, as only Shadow Dragon, Awakening and for some reason especially Fates would be represented in the beat 'em up roster. I did the most sensible thing and picked up Marth and Caeda. Honestly, I really don't understand why Tiki was chosen to be playable besides having a Manakete on your side. However, the obvious problem is not only having limited representation, what with only 3 games to choose from, but the only good game included in the mix has the least representation. I literally listed all 3 non-DLC Shadow Dragon characters, and they're the only ones I like in this game besides the DLC additions of Linde, Minerva and Navarre, for the simple fact they too are from Shadow Dragon. A tally is most apt to get the point across:

Shadow Dragon: 6 (3 + 3 DLC) characters
Awakening: 9 (6 + 3 DLC) characters
Fates: a WHOPPING 12 (9 + 3 DLC) characters

Obviously Fates was the most recent entry at the time of this game's release, but did they really have the gall to overrepresent the worst entry in the entire series, even to this day? A lot of people got very angry at this lack of representation, and the answer to that criticism was to add Celica and Lyn to the party. Wow. They weren't even trying. And instead of respecting Lyn, they gave her forced anime physics that don't belong on her animations whatsoever.

There isn't really much to say about this game other than it's repetitive and boring. The story is generic and has poor dialogue to accompany it, but I guess the most notable thing this game does is marking the start of an alliance between Nintendo and Koei, the latter being the main designer of this game and its sequel, as the Warriors subseries was descended from Dynasty Warriors, which is better than both FE Warriors games in every way besides maybe the gameplay. Koei would later go on to help in developing Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and considering that game was a mainline entry, that's a pretty big responsibility to levy over to another company.

From what I've seen playing through Fire Emblem Warriors 2, the gameplay is better there. Have next to nothing to say about it besides that, though.

where are all the characters from the good games

I got Anna and it gives you that rush to keeping playing. The weapon combat system is simple, even tho trying to unlock 🔑 all destroyed armor from armor break.

"Oh cool! I find that whole rock paper scissors shit really demeaning about Fire Emblem, but honestly assigning squads in a Warriors game format that have to follow those rules seems neat! Usually the squad movement thing in those games is an absolute afterthought so I'd love to see a game stress that further."

[two hours of play pass]

"Oh. I'm supposed to know who these people are already. Damn. That's a real shame."

Believe it or not, this was my first Fire Emblem game, so I have it to thank for why I am such a massive fan of the franchise now. I have put an insane amount of time into this game. While its roster is highly disappointing, the gameplay is better here than in any other Warriors game in my opinion. The music and levels are also well designed, to a point where I don't actually mind that they are reused over and over in the extra content (which I never finished, hence "shelved" being my completion rating of this game). I would highly recommend this game actually.

Its an okay game, I like the character supports

In some ways I liked the gameplay more than Hyrule Warriors, though the clone-heavy nature of the roster (and way less interesting original characters than in that game) drag it down a bit

A typical Warriors crossover that the likes of Hyrule Warriors have led me to expect, however the I felt very burned by the DLC mostly consisting of clones of characters that were already in the base game

Cool as a FE fan but I don’t have the patience


definitely a video game with fire emblem characters in it yep

To be honest, it gets pretty boring after a while, especially after you finish the main story. There's, of course, a LOT of content post main game, however, it's most of the same thing without many differences besides variations of the same few maps and the same characters you've fought multiple times over at this point.

This is just a grinding 3D game with little to no pay-off besides some in game secrets that you can just find on youtube with a 3 second research.

Legacy characters are not built on, and new characters are shallow with simple and forgetable motivations. Not worth all the money, but if you're a completionist and want to pass time, it becomes a very good game.

I had a lot of fun during this game, but after the first two weeks you just never touch it anymore.
