    The marriage between the Warriors and Fire Emblem franchises has yielded one of the deepest and most engaging games the Warriors series has done to date.

    Fire Emblem Warriors delivers with enjoyable gameplay that blends mechanics from both Fire Emblem and Warriors games into something unique and unlike anything else on the Nintendo Switch.

    Hyrule Warriors may be one of my favourite games on the Wii U, and while I wasn’t as engaged in the characters and world of Fire Emblem Warriors, I loved every minute of the game both on N3DS and Switch. While the game is still fresh and will have several DLC and updates in the months to come, if you have any interest in a musou game, this is easily the best and smoothest on the Switch so far.

    Fire Emblem Warriors is more than just a Warriors game with Fire Emblem personalities in place of classic Chinese historical figures. It manages to retain a distinct Fire Emblem flavour despite dishing out a style of action that is arguably the polar opposite of what Fire Emblem fans expect.

    An attempt to blend Fire Emblem with Dynasty Warriors might seem an odd idea. Where’s the common ground between a tactical RPG and an over-the-top slasher, right? It actually worked out pretty well, as the game managed to retain Fire Emblem’s atmosphere. If you’re a fan of the series and not allergic to Dynasty Warriors’ formula, give it a try. [13/2017, p.36]

    Although it won't go down as an especially memorable title, there's a lot of fun to be had with Fire Emblem Warriors. The interesting usage of all the aspects from the tactical RPG series certainly added to some freshness to the standard Musou formula, and it was great to see a lot of the characters given the high-definition treatment and the interactions between them are sure to please a lot of fans.

    Fire Emblem has the potential to make a great partner, but this badly made and painfully simplistic crossover is as disappointingly dumb as all the other Dynasty Warriors games.

    I'm an absolute fan of the Dynasty Warriors series and they turned the nob up to 11 with this Musou Adaption of the Fire Emblem Series. TheI'm an absolute fan of the Dynasty Warriors series and they turned the nob up to 11 with this Musou Adaption of the Fire Emblem Series. The story could definitely be better because it was pretty much a rip from all three original games but it's never really the strength of a musou game. It's strength has always been first and foremost, the over-the-top combat that allows to you defeat droves of enemies, and man does it feel gooooood. It's not even mindless killing either. They've done well with incorporating some strategic elements of the FE series which is worthy of commendation. I'm easily over 60 hours at the moment and not slowing down. It seems the reviews are fairly positive so I'm hoping for a Fire Emblem Warriors 2 with a few more fan favorite characters from the older Fire Emblem series.....like Ike *cough*, Roy, Hector....and many more. The game needed playable thief/assassin classes too from the FE series. Come on Koei Tecmo. Get started on the FE Warriors 2 :-)… Expand

    Story is a little lacking, and the characters made for the game are milquetoast. However, it's otherwise a fantastic use of the Fire Emblem license.    … Expand

    Disappointing game that advertises itself as a crossover and celebration of the series but is actually neither, a completely hollowDisappointing game that advertises itself as a crossover and celebration of the series but is actually neither, a completely hollow experience.
    Either make an actual crossover representing every game, or follow the Three Hopes route and made a dedicated alternate universe spin-off for one game.
    The path Warriors chooses is the most pathetic option, pretending to be a crossover but showing favouritism to what were the newest games at the time.    … Expand
