    It's absolutely amazing. It has elements of the older FE titles and newer ones. The storyline is extremely engaging and it's really interesting to look the storyline according to the views that are presented in the different routes. The voice acting is also great.

    Hands down the best Fire Emblem in the series, It has a great story, tons of replayability and engaging gameplay. Oddly it does not scale back in interesting and deep mechanisms. At first I was a bit hesitant due to the school / academy theme, but don't let that stop you from trying this game, it is borderline perfect.

    Uno de los mejores juegos del año. Un JRPG con varias rutas y distintas posibilidades. Una jugabilidad muy buena para los amantes del género. Banda sonora de calidad e historia elaborada,
    Como puntos negativos está el apartado técnico y que a cierta altura del juego puede hacerse algo repetitivo pero si lo miras en conjunto es un gran título

    This is a great game to start with if you want to get into Fire Emblem. The characters are lovable and endearing, and if probably you started disliking someone at the beginning, they will make you change your mind. I wasn't really into strategy games, but adding the teaching side to the game made everything flow in a great pace.

    The soundtrack is great and the new mechanics to the tactics game feel nice. Pretty much everything in this game is voiced and let me tell you, the English cast did beautifully it makes me just want to hear them way more nonstop. (Note: I don't really play JP voices in majority of games)

    The only thing holding me back from giving the game a 10 is the fact that the stages are WAY too big. Making promoting to mounts a must in Three Houses.    … Expand

    This game really kept me hooked. The game play on its own kept me entertained for hours. I'm not one to sink many hours into games, but this one has already reached my highest played game on the switch. It is a worthy investment for anyone who owns a switch and is interested in role playing games.

It's not a combat game, it's a social sim with a combat element, and honestly after you get half way through the game, the combat gets so easy that it's actually a broken combat system.

Along with other crossovers like Rocket League, Stardew Valley, Cuphead; and indies like Golf Story and Overcooked. But FETH has been a nonstop burn from the start that keeps me thinking about the game throughout the day like no other game I’ve experienced. The story is rich with details and side conversations (that could be otherwise missed) which provide even more depth and lore into the world of Fódlan. Every interaction the player chooses causes a change in the relationships with others and the numerous ways you gain support prep up a really engaging game. The combat is thoughtful and I’ve felt very strategic as I’ve learned to play. I remember when characters like Marth and Roy we’re added to previous Super Smash Bros. games and I didn’t know what they were from or why they were there. This has been my first Fire Emblem game and now I understand. This game has turned me into an instant fan and I’m kicking myself now for not playing the previous games. I would recommend this game to anyone that loves a strategy heavy JRPG.… Expand

    I’ve been a fan of the Fire Emblem games since the launch of Awakening, and although I was wary about this title when it was first revealed it far surpassed my wildest expectations. The freedom you get in this game is so liberating and I love seeing how much I can stretch the limits of each character.

    NG+ is particularly enjoyable since it lets you push your boundaries even further, allowing you to make your best magic users physical fighters and visa versa, allowing for amusing combinations of character specific and learned abilities and skills. I can’t stop playing this game and I already have over 200 hours in it.

    My only negative is that multiple routes share a large portion of maps, but seeing as most games only have 1 main route, it’s not too big of a deal. Each houses students drive a lot of the variety in gameplay if you don’t recruit too much as I did on purpose.

    While sometimes the writing can seem simplistic at times, it's amazing how deep they can take a cookie cutter story and make it as "realistic" as an anime style game can be with still a lot of charm.

    The gameplay is as solid as always. The lack of the weapon triangle lent to a wider capacity of customization and design by the player. Sure, some activities are mundane, but you start to appreciate as time passes.
    My only gripe, is that some storylines are better than others (as in the story that each house will tell) and well, that is sad, because not everyone wishes to replay the game from start to finish once more. All in all, a great game, one of my favorites and I look forward to the next entry.    … Expand

    Aaand now the bad

    1. Tedious and boring busy work at the academy that feels shoved in and unnecessary. If you are a completionist this will be a problem as I had to fight myself to keep going (simplistic fishing, scavenging and fetch quests ugh...)
    2. The relationship mechanic feels half baked and unfulfilling given how much focus is placed on this (end game character synopsis is satisfying however)
    3.The worst offense in my opinion is that the game is far too EASY even on the hardest settings. I coasted during battles which is never a good thing. Only one maybe two maps gave me pause which is unforgivable in a strategy game that's famous for difficulty
    4. The tactical maps are overall boring, uninspired and recycled a bit too much. I feel this was the biggest missed opportunity in the game.
    5.Graphics are far too ugly with a lot of delayed pop ins etc for a top tier game such as this. I normally am forgiving but this pushed it.

    That's it. Its an ok experience and introduction into the strategy genre but for more experienced fans it leaves you wanting more. Try harder next time Nintendo.

The characters are well-written with a great deal of depth, aside from a certain few (Raphael, I'm looking at you). The game is very customisable-every character can be any class and you can recruit students from other houses to yours. Each playthrough is unique and minimum 50 hours; I'm playing through my third route and have over 170 hours already. Furthermore, each route is different and unique, and there is even a secret 4th route! This makes replayability value off the charts and, personally, I don't even plan on stopping after playing all four routes! I do have some complaints though. The backdrops used in certain support conversations isn't exactly HD, but that doesn't really phase me. Also, my biggest concern is that there isn't a great deal of maps, so some paralogues and auxiliary battles reuse maps. However, the maps are some of the biggest in the series so scenarios are still quite unique. In conclusion, this game is an absolute masterpiece, and has dethroned Super Castlevania 4 to become my favourite of all time!… Expand

    the game is really good. The only downside point I see for now are the useless 3d graphics (and poor graphics) and that the title seems a bit too easy even for a new player to the licence which I am.

    Easily the most immersive fire emblem title to date. It's been too long since we had a beautiful looking fire emblem game and the game looks great in both handheld and docked modes! Highly recommend this game to any first timers in the series and can't wait to replay this game many times as there are so many ways to beat the game

    Great story and many gameplay hours to spend on many things.High replay value thanks to the different story of the three houses.Battles are a bit on the easy side so I suggest choosing hard/classic mode.

    Finished 2 out of 3 houses so far ... the game is the definition of perfection. Really fun , combat is great , story is brilliant !

    The graphics might not be what people expect but honestly now if that is your issue and you give a 0/10 you should just stop gaming in general.

    Great Fire Emblem game, of course it's not a perfect game, but it's one of the best FE so far, great story, great voice acting, wonderful soundtrack, this game did what Fates could not achieve, a sense of care for your characters, and the consequences of war.

    This game is easily game of the year for me. I've had it for two weeks and I've already played through all three houses. The characters are so well written that I cant find a single one (other than the villians) that I dislike. Each route is special and fun in it's own way. And I'm already planning on playing again!

My first time playing it was amazing. The graphics (for a switch game) story and especially the characters are top notch. I really got attached to the characters and I was sad and upset if something wrong would happen to them. I'm currently 230 hours in and I'm still playing the last route. I just couldn't put it down. I want to know more about the different stories.

    Eso sí lo que no me gusto es el tiempo en el que debes combatir tienes que esperar todo un mes en el juego y las batallas opcionales son dos y con mucha suerte una batalla extra que como premio es una basura, pero de ahí en fuera la historia es excelente y si te encariñas con unos personajes se te es difícil enfrentarlos con otra casa.

    It has come to my attention that a vast amount of fake reviews have been left for Fire Emblem Three Houses over the past few days. I am writing this on 02 SEP 2019 to set the record straight.

This game manages to stay    It has come to my attention that a vast amount of fake reviews have been left for Fire Emblem Three Houses over the past few days. I am writing this on 02 SEP 2019 to set the record straight.

    I have been playing video games since the NES was a big deal, and I can say with a clean conscience that Fire Emblem Three Houses is one of my favorite games of all time. This game manages to stay true to the spirit of the Fire Emblem series, but has had the game mechanics completely overhauled in a positive way. In addition, the game is written masterfully to make you feel genuine emotion towards the characters that you interact with. This game is the future of the tactical RPG genre.

    I believe that this game is worth exploring, so I want to avoid spoilers as much as I can. I will say that one of the most attractive features of the game is the ability to truly choose your own adventure. The game changes drastically based on the choices you make, gives you a wide variety of directions in which you can take the story, and gives you the opportunity to make said choices often. The fate of your in-game character is intertwined with all of the others in the game, so your choices can literally determine their destiny in many cases. Who will live or die? Who will be your friend, and who will be your enemy? What situations are unforeseeable? Much of this is up to you.

    The mechanics are upgraded from previous games. They are complicated enough to entertain those with a great attention to detail, but simple enough that anyone can have a great experience without getting bogged down by overly complicated gameplay. For example, what "class" a unit has is no longer defined by their level. The level system has been redesigned to be more of an indication of what a particular unit is capable of.

    The artwork is exactly what you would expect of Nintendo's newest home console. The cutscenes were striking and dramatic, and the in-game character models were sharp. They went all out on the latest installment of the series, and we're thrilled that they did. I would say that this is the best game in the series to be released since Fire Emblem: Awakening on the 3DS.

    In the game review from Polygon, it was said that "It's (Fire Emblem) as if someone who pens romance novels and someone who writes stereo instructions decided to co-author a 9000-page war epic." The fact is, they're right! We wouldn't want it any other way! It is a game that is both technical and emotional, and is of interest to a very wide variety of people. It has everything you could want! Fantasy, combat, tactics, romance, exploration, consequences to your decisions, and more!

    This game is fantastic, and the haters can get lost. That is all.    … Expand

    First Fire Emblem game, and I am in love. The game is split into two parts, teaching in the monastery and fighting alongside your class. Both are highly enjoyable, and you get rewarded with support conversations between each character in the game. These build up relationships and makes characters have much more depth.
