Yes I understand I am cringe, but I'm not gonna lie one playthrough of this while on vacation in another state went so hard for absolutely no reason. Plus is the only warriors game I've played that justifies the ability to command the other units on the battlefield without making it too focused on management

Pretty lackluster main characters
Couldn't finish the game because I am not a fan of most musou games

I didn't care much for this. Coming off of Hyrule Warriors, I thought it'd be great, but it disappointed me. I don't know if it was just relatively uninteresting or samey characters(in this context, I do enjoy fire emblem's characters in the games), or what but it had a lot of great ideas that just didn't seem to click for me in translating FE mechanics to a mosou.

The game actually seems to care about incorporating Fire Emblem's mechanics into a Warriors style game, which I respect. Unfortunately the blonde dickheads annoy me and I hate that of all the characters they pretty much only use Awakening/Fates. Oh also I think the game is completely unenjoyable to play which is probably more important

As someone who has dabbled in Fire Emblem since the GameCube games I really enjoyed this game for what it was, now obviously this is a Musō or Warriors game, so it's not a Tactical Turn Based JRPG like most the FE franchise.
I found it's length able to keep the gameplay from getting stale by the end, the story was all over the place but the generic theme of friendship prevails over all was good enough that I didn't mind, as someone who played a handful of FE games I didn't know most of the Fates characters but everyone was still fun to play, and the music was good enough.
Overall it's just alright, the problem with it all comes from the repetitive environments, almost useless weapon system, and very poor performance when a character uses a special.
If you are into FE pick this game up on sale or borrow it from someone, otherwise probably don't bother.

Definetily inferior compared to Hyrule Warriors but i didn't mind, the gameplay can be and is a bit repetitive but it's a fun game to play the pass the time, not ground breaking and the story is pretty childish and forgettable
