Zappy! My pumpkin seed. This game is fire...emblem. I'd say it was better than Three Houses at least for me. Fire Emblem Engage is an engaging game. The tone and story of telling of the game is akin to that of a Saturday morning anime while corny I don't mind the tone change and found the story pretty engaging. Not like the series is known for great story telling anyway so I don't mind. The characters are also pretty engaging it took me a bit to get used the new art style but I think there are some great unit's in here like best girl Yunaka, or other likeable characters like Panette and Rosado. Unfortunately though the game lacks a marriage system so the characters can't get engaged as far as I'm aware only the Alear can.

Anyway I think the gameplay and map design is some of the best in the series it's consistently fun and engaging and I enjoyed the fan service and call backs to past entries with the paralouge's some great remixes too! Graphically this also up there as one the best looking Switch games.It's engaging to look at and it runs great a huge upgrade from the muted visuals and inconsistent frame rate of Three Houses. After playing games like Pokemon Scarlet it's nice to be reminded that the Switch IS capable of decent looking games.

I can see why Three Houses fans hate the game. It's a Fire Emblem game. It's probably the most Fire Emblem game that ever Fire Emblem-ed. Making it extremely rewarding for hardcore fans that played most or all the entries. But maybe not as enjoyable if you're new to the series. While Persona elements found Three Houses are either gone or toned down to be optional.

The game does starts off a little slow but I think starting from chapter 10 the game gets really engaging and really fun. Overall I'd say this easily one of the best entries in the series top 5 at at least and also probably one of the best games you can currently play on the Switch. Hiya Papiya.
