    Very half arsed. It felt rushed.

    The characters are really annoying. I played a level at a time over about three sittings and that is all I've done. I just don't have the interest to play it again. I would sit for hours with the main game and play level, after level for hours on end. FE3H is my favourite game ever and that is coming from someone that doesn't like full 3D games.

    FE3H is my favourite game ever and that is coming from someone that doesn't like full 3D games. I loved it though and have completed two run throughs. I started learning some of the songs on my piano and even started playing some on my phone when walking around at work

    I felt some of my characters were far too weak. This is DLC. I completed the game twice and was used to my characters being levelled, so it was weird them being rock bottom weak.

    I did like the new world but again, it felt half baked. Poor effort.    … Expand

    DLC muito fraca para esse jogo, Nintendo às vezes consegue estragar algo que estava quieto, era melhor vocês terem feito um novo ''Zelda'' do que essa DLC!

    It is, ultimately, solid DLC that’s worth it for fans of the game, although if you’re already bought into the game you probably already have it. What it’s not is perhaps the big send-off for the game that it had been billed as…but maybe that’s unfair, since that was never really in the cards.

    In the grand scheme of things the sum of its parts makes for a fuller Fire Emblem, even if casual fans won't really notice some of the differences. [Issue #46 – May/June 2020, p. 26]

    Fire Emblem: Three Houses Cindered Shadows is one of those downloadable add-ons that’s solid enough. Overall this feels more in line with earlier entries in the series, stripping away most of the exciting newer features demonstrated in the original release. This makes for an experience that’s enjoyable but also rather unsurprising and straightforward. As far as story expansions go though, Cindered Shadows will likely have you hooked on Fire Emblem once again. It’s just hard not to be a little disappointed given how excellent Fire Emblem: Three Houses was.
