    Nintendo needs to lock absolutely all of Team Ninja in a basement forever. This is an insult

    Disappointing 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.

    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.

    It+s not a 0 because the graphics are nice. However, gameplay and story are totally worthless.

    The art style is nice… I guess. It’s just a boring game. Nothing good. 60$ too, it’s a waste of time and money.

    The game crash all 30 minutes, it's awful. Lot of content, but less diversity in movesets than in Hyrule Warriors, even DLC characters are clones. It's a joke.

    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.

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

    I reallly enjoyed playing this game form start to finish. Never been a Warriors fan other then the Zelda ones but this was great. Being a huge Fire Emblem fan this didnt let me down. Looks and plays great. Great job Nintendo

    Worst story I've ever experienced often got in the way of my enjoyment of the hacking and slashing.

    The hacking and slashing was fun but sometimes got overwhelmed with the sheer amount of characters and your responsibility to upgrade just about everyone because never know who's going to be forced to be a NPC on the map.

    I actively avoided this game because I just can't stand the voice actors and any of the cringe. I pick this up generally to get a dose of mindless hacking and slashing.    … Expand

    I rated this 10/10 as a provisional score after a short play but I just can't stomach this game.

    Straight to the point. The voice acting is **** Not just a little bit **** but typical irritating little bastards that aren't capable of saying a sentence that doesn't boil my piss, and to top it off, there was no Japanese option.

I think when this is £45 and Ys Origin (which is 10x better) is £17 max, then there is no reason to buy this game at all.

    A very boring title which has a permanent spike in cringey dialogue. Just when you think it couldn't be any more annoying, it gets worse.

    FE 3 houses was a big change and it took some getting used to but in the end I loved it. FE Warrior's started well and then suddenly I saw what a huge failure it was. The US should be banned from any voice work. Over the top, cheesy, cringey, bull **** Yet another game I am embarrassed to play with anyone around, thanks to the United States of Homo ****e.

    An embarrassment of a title for both Mous and FE.    … Expand

    Nice Game. Slash some enemies. Use your brain for tactics - but at a low level. Story is okay but too much characters. No one gets closer . Only the two main characters.

    Right so I'll say this first in this review. I did enjoy this game a bit, and I had fun with it. HOWEVER, after playing Fate Extella The Umbral Star, this game went from a 5 or 6 to a 2. Why? because this game stole a ton of animations from that game, Lyn, Marth, the lords and a few other moves were all stolen from Nero's moveset.

I'm not that far into extella but you could easily notice the stolen animations from just playing that. Before someone says "oh it could just be a coincidence, I highly doubt it. Fate Extella Umbral Star was released on 10 November 2016, almost a year before this game. The gameplay is okay I guess, not as good as other series though.

    I have fluctuated back and forth with this score in part because some parts are absolutely excellent and other parts were meh. I like the controls and the strategy behind the certain levels of play. I think the cutscenes were pretty solid as well on a graphic level.

    My two key issues are the graphic details on the game (which is very terrible at times) and the storyline is pretty thin.

    I had a lot of fun with this game, seeing a lot of fire emblem characters together was really cool. But the truth is that the story was lack luster, they only paid attention to Fates and Awakening, Marth story was only 2 battles. But the worst thing for me was, that after beating the main story i found out that lyn and Celica were unlockable in the History Mode, but freaking Ike wasn't.I had a lot of fun with this game, seeing a lot of fire emblem characters together was really cool.

    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.

    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]
