    This is a really good game if given the chance. Yes there are many missing key characters from the series however, there is plenty of fun still to be had. It looks and runs great with no issues at all. The story mode is a bit weak although the History mode more than makes up for it.

    This game is way better than the 7's I'm seeing. This game really does feel like a real-time Fire Emblem game. You can tell the developers LOVE Fire Emblem. Everything from the sounds, music, the menus, etc. just feels like Fire Emblem on the 3DS.

This game really does feel like a real-time Fire Emblem game. You can tell the developers LOVE Fire Emblem. Everything from the sounds, music, the menus, etc. just feels like Fire Emblem on the 3DS. They did the franchise justice, and really did incorporate all the Fire Emblem mechanics and look and feel into this style of game. The best compliment I can give is that this feels like a main-line entry to the Fire Emblem franchise.

    All the voice actors are the same from the games and Fire Emblem Heroes too. The graphics really do feel like they are in the Fire Emblem 3DS style. The gameplay is really fun, and there are a ton of characters with different play-styles to play as. There is a ton of content in the game too - a full 21 chapter story with hundreds of end-game maps in the History mode.

    There's also a Performance mode that runs at mostly 60fps, which I highly encourage people to play. Make sure you set the level-up notifications to OFF, because they become annoying after awhile.

    My only real complaint is that the main story is really slow to get going. Like Fates, each chapter starts off meeting new characters and resolving a childish misunderstanding between them that results in a battle before they become friends. The main story doesn't happen until about half-way through the game when you have assembled the entire cast.

    Still, the game is really fun and if you love Fire Emblem, you will love this game. If you were like me and were waiting for the next Fire Emblem game after Three Houses, give this a try. You will enjoy it, even if you didn't love some of the characters in the 3DS generation.    … Expand

    There were clearly poor decisions made in regards to the roster, and it would be preferable to have more playstyles; but man, I just can't resist that ridiculously addictive Warriors gameplay. I would recommend Hyrule Warriors instead, but $60 for a port of a six year old game is absurd, so I recommend this instead.

Even tho, I may say that many of these elements work as a "placebo effect", in the way that you won't really feel that they help you progress that much (you will still feel the gap between a 15lvl character and a 30lvl character tho), as I think they meant with them; enemies always die in 1/2 hits, and bad matchups only get worse through the game unless you're really over-leveled. There are also some conversations that appear when the relationship between characters develop to the max, helping in expanding the experience of the Fire Emblem universe a bit, and so I think they are worth it.
    Anyway, the game offers some nice abilities level ups, and if you combine this with that "placebo effect" of the RPG elements, the musou element and the posibility of perfectly distributing the units around the battlefield, you get a super fun 20+ hours game that allows you to enjoy and understand the universe of Fire Emblem even if you've not played any of them before.    … Expand

    You can kind of guess where a lot of the story will go; when you're tasked with "liberating" a fan favorite character, it's obvious you're just fighting to make them playable. Given the depth associated with crests, weapons, leveling, class upgrades, etc. there's an unexpected level of content, and that's without the season pass.

    A recommended title. Especially the special edition.    … Expand

    I used to love the 'Warriors' games back in the days of PS2, however those titles eventually became boring because each new release only brought new characters and maps, not new mechanics. I have also played the major Fire Emblem titles since Awakening.

I have also played the major Fire Emblem titles since Awakening.

    I'm very happy with the Nintendo and 'Warriors' marriage; musou combat and Fire Emblem mechanics makes this my favorite 'Warriors' experience ever. (Used to be Samurai Warriors). The ability to direct your AI controlled allies makes a huge difference. Instead of mindlessly mowing down enemies, you actually have to stop and think about where to send each hero. The other Fire Emblem mechanics like pairing, rock paper scissors combat advantage, and job advancement add to the experience and make the grind more satisfying.

    If you like Fire Emblem and have ever enjoyed a Warriors game, you will like this game. You could probably enjoy this without prior knowledge of the FE universe, but having played FE in the past will make the cutscenes and conversations more enjoyable. You don't need to have played a Warriors game to enjoy this one, but if you have you know more or less what the combat will be like.

    I'm glad I skipped Hyrule Warriors on the Wii U, because I'm now looking forward getting Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition for my Switch when if launches.    … Expand

    Few examples: Anna's high luck helps her triggering skills like Lethality (high dmg) and Luna (lower def and res) while Takumi has much higher skill which makes his Musou stronger.
    Minerva and Camilla are both clones but the former is a heavy STR attacker with high defense and HP but low skill and luck, while Camilla is much more balanced in all stats and more versatile.
    Ryoma is a heavy hitter with high strength and speed while Owain has more skill and the benefit of a skill that increases his damage based on STR and MAG.

    The amount of possibilities with the customization is pretty high and makes the clone characters a bit easier to swallow: I had fun figuring out combinations of skills and weapon traits because I knew I could build a beast like Tiki, a literal monster who can 1 shot anyone in a combo

    But despite my praises, I can't tolerate the lazy copies of other characters especially having 9 added characters from launch and this is why I lowered the rate to 8 from 9. A real shame to say the least.

    With that said, I want to give a brief review of each pack

    First pack: Fates
    Probably one of the weakest packs for a few reasons: yes it introduced S weapons and a few adjustments, but it didn't add much more than that. Armor strike you may say? That's actually a patch (patch 1.20, while the pack was 1.30) which also added a map (hero challenge), more rewards and the ability to sell multiple weapons at once.
    It did add a few new missions like gold rush but I hoped for more unique weapons since the main cast still missed most of them, while the 3 new characters (Azura, Niles and Oboro) got theirs instead. They also added the Opus which is an additional boost of the weapon that raises the power from 240 to 720, making them 5 star S weapons.
    The 3 characters are good and only one Niles is a clone, but his skill (lethality) is one of the most powerful ones you can have and a must have due to its damaging procs. A good pack, but didn't bring much else to the plate.

    Second Pack: Shadow Dragon.
    I particularly liked this pack more: it finally added the ability to buy crests without confirming every single freaking time, more weapons were given to old characters (Anna, Caeda, Tiki) and new stats were given. in particular, Statflip makes you able to use Defense or Resistance as main stats for attacking which is a very good addition.
    Of the 3 characters received, 2 of them are clones (Minerva and Navarre) but Minerva alone is a blessing for mounted heroes thanks to her Iote's shield, a skill that negates any weakness and helps pegasi knights and dragon riders to survive those pesky archers. Minerva alone will make the mounting heroes a lot better so it's a good call for me and the fact they added more unique weapons to old characters is a big plus in general.
    Nothing original but definitely good improvements!

    Third Pack: Awakening
    Let me start saying the good things first: they FINALLY added all weapons to all characters (Lissa, Frederick, Robin etc) and the new stats such Acceleration, Bolster or Amped (a flat 20% stat boost!) makes it really hard to pass over.
    Of the 3 new heroes (Tharja, Owain, and Olivia) only Olivia is the original one and has a great skill, Galeforce, while the other two skills are very niche.
    Now the bad part: they added two new mission types, Escape and Escort the villagers, which are the worst types so far. They are difficult for all the wrong reasons and it doesn't help that the atrocious AI constantly resets itself whenever you change heroes. They are simply awful and not fun to deal with.
    I would praise this pack the most if it wasn't for those awful mission types, but sadly they ruin the overall experience of the game. A lot of stuff at a high price: your patience.

    I still recommend the game for good reasons: it's a decent musou game with lots of content, the game is fun and has a nice cast of characters and it's not a port of a century old game with a 60 euro/dollar price tag attached to, unlike 99% of the entire Switch library, and considering this game also gets discounted often enough, I recommend it wholeheartedly!

    Meanwhile mario kart and splatoon 2 are still fully priced a year later...    … Expand

There are some smart improvements on this game compared to Hyrule Warriors, such as being able to switch characters mid battle and give commands to those you aren't controlling, but, overall I feel Hyrule Warriors is the superior game.

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.

    Turning Fire Emblem series into a Warriors game should’ve been an ordinary task for Omega Force’s – after all, they’ve done it time and again with other franchises, and more often than not it ended up being a fun fan-servicey game. But Fire Emblem Warriors is nothing short of a fiasco. [Issue#226, p.61]

    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]

    The standard hack’n’slash will entertain, but you won´t find a deeper sense in it despite a few tactical elements. One level a day will delight you, try more and you get a stereotype. [Issue#280]
