    The game stands on its own two feet just fine, but if you come from the previous Fire Emblem game you'll see that almost all the outside battle mechanics are kept, the story is strong and adds to the universe of 3 Houses. The gameplay is also changed to be more similar to that of 3 houses, where even if you control 1 character on screen in musou, you are also forced to direct your allies in the tactical map as the battles progress. This is a must buy if you liked the previous game, and still a great purchase if you have not gotten around to it yet. You can start with this and then do 3 Houses later too.    … Expand

    Much better than I thought it would be! Arval and Shez were great additions to the cast. I would recommend taking a break between each of the three routes as to not get to overwhelmed, it is a long game, but a streamlined "monastery" system and new game plus makes each playthrough require much less micromanagement comparatively to when replaying three houses.

    I must admit I have my doubts about this game because I love Fire Emblem Gameplay and I thought It would be a repetitive button smasher game but I was wrong, the strategy elements are there and all other elements that made Three Houses an amazing game are there too. It's incredible that they made new routes, the characters are back and the roster is incredible big. Thanks Nintendo!

    Gameplay and story were both excellently crafted, remaining true in character to the source material of Three Houses. I enjoy every bit of the game, which feels like an excellent mix of the Musou genre and Three Houses' mechanics. One of, if not the best, Warriors games to exist.

    Awesome warriors game and awesome three houses spin off. it's a lot like age of calamity, more focused on one game rather than being a crossover, and delivers an awesome alternate version of the story.

    I wanted to play this whenever it came out, but with so many other games and the fact that I don't care for the "warriors" game so much I passed it up. That being said I really shouldn't have! This game is easily the best warriors game I'm ever played. The story is fun and exist in a non canonical world separate to the original (Three houses) one.

There's a lot of repeats of the things that make three houses fun, and I can't imagine why anyone who enjoyed three houses wouldn't enjoy this title. Not only is it the best Warrior game but it might just be the best fire emblem game! Certainly tied with three houses at least. Also there's flipping strategies on the battle field!!! *Mind Blown!*… Expand

As for the gameplay, it is a Warriors game at the end of the day, so don’t expect anything too groundbreaking. I will say, however, that the gameplay is an improvement over the prior FE Warriors and is, in my opinion, fairly enjoyable. At the end of the day, this game is a clear love letter to fans of Three Houses. If you were a fan of the stories and characters from that game, then I would highly recommend at least checking this one out. If you haven’t played Three Houses yet, I would definitely recommend playing that first before this. However, If you didn’t care for Three Houses or aren’t at all interested in it, then this game probably isn’t for you. All in all, I am thoroughly enamored with this game.… Expand

    I really enjoyed playing demo of this game so i had pretty high hopes for it, to be honest i don't really mind the repetitive attacks. I enjoyed the storyline and characters, i also love that you can build friendships with the characters, this is one of my favorite fire emblem game so far since I'm a big fan of these types of combat. I would love to see more fire emblem games like this :)

    It's a pretty good game. Don't listen to the people **** on this for the story, most of them are doing it based on leaks without context. The characters are consistent with their three houses self and we get to see some interesting new facets of them in action. If you liked Fire emblem three houses story than you will enjoy it.

    As for the game itself, it's just your average warriors game with a fire emblem twist. Its significantly better than the last FE Warriors game both in terms of gameplay and story but if you don't like warriors' games, no matter how big of a FE fan you are, you wont like this one.

    contributes to the understanding of three houses and complements each other perfectly.

    I have to be honest, I am pretty sure a bunch of the negative reviews are just by one guy who's really upset that this isn't a new mainline Fire Emblem game because a number of these recent reviews are the same regurgitated points that aren't true. There are people in the reviews criticising the game over "character assassinations", however, I felt as though there was actually consistencyI have to be honest, I am pretty sure a bunch of the negative reviews are just by one guy who's really upset that this isn't a new mainline Fire Emblem game because a number of these recent reviews are the same regurgitated points that aren't true. There are people in the reviews criticising the game over "character assassinations", however, I felt as though there was actually consistency between how the characters appeared in FE3H and FEW3H.

    The good:

    The game is great, it feels and plays like a Fire Emblem game with musou gameplay, whereas on the other hand, the original Fire Emblem Warriors simply felt like a musou game with Fire Emblem characters and an incoherent story. FEW3H is a huge leap from the original Fire Emblem Warriors game and runs quite smoothly. This isn't a bad game, it's a great game. If you were disappointed with the length of Edelgard's route in Three Houses, this game will absolutely satisfy you. The story is great, it works pretty well as a "what-if" scenario for the original game. In terms of visuals, FEW3H has much better visuals than Three Houses, for example, the quality of textures is much better. Also, the base camp in Three Hopes is easier to navigate over Three House's monastery; the monastery was unnecessarily large, whereas the base camp in FEW3H is just the right size and has numerous facilities to allow you to upgrade your characters. This game greatly expands on the already expansive lore and worldbuilding of Fodlan

    The bad:

    This is a musou game so admittedly, the gameplay does feel quite repetitive at times. In addition, the game seems to have issues with framerate. Interestingly, the game appears to have an uncapped framerate, though, the game averages at around 33-36 FPS during combat; this is a very consistent average that I have noticed, I haven't seen the game go below 30FPS during combat. In quieter areas such as the base camp, the game will run at around 50FPS.

    It's a great game and it's a very nice "what-if" scenario for the original game; absolutely a must-buy for anyone who enjoyed the original game.    … Expand

I picked it up from its Black Friday price, but if I had known it was gonna blow my expectations out of the water, I would go back in time and play it sooner.… Expand

    It's a musou game.
    It's a 3H spin-off.
    It tells you what it is and if you like both of those things you'll love it.

    As an aside, Shez is probably the best avatar character an FE game has ever seen. Intensely likeable and radiates charm.

    Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes stands strong as a dynamic take on the world of Three Houses however the repetitive gameplay and padded stories leave a challenge to even complete the game without using broken characters. The visuals can be very pleasing but the environments always feel the exact same. This also goes for the character interactions, which are dry as they will often repeat dialogue or say things unrelated to the story. Overall a fun interesting time is still to be had but only in short bursts. Fans of Three Houses will love this game but others will be left confused and bored.

    There’s no doubt that Three Hopes offers a story that stands out from its predecessor. While it doesn’t have quite the emotional impact, it still offers plenty of a wild ride of twists and turns.

    Three Houses was an excellent choice to adapt into a Musou, and for my first full experience with the genre, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Seeing my favorite characters in a new light was a treat, and I felt a tremendous sense of accomplishment at achieving the "golden" ending after a huge time investment. This is a can't-miss title for FE3H fans wanting to see more of their favorite students! [Issue #61 – September/October 2022, p. 75]
