Review score

Nintendo Switch

Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is a spin-off title based on the 2019 edition of the series, Fire Emblem: Three Houses. It exchanges the turn-based strategy gameplay of most Fire Emblem titles for brutal real-time combat and allows players to take down legions of enemies while exploring the mysteries and intrigue between heated battles.

What we like:

Down-time activities well balanced with complex battle mechanics
Helpful AI controlled teammates
Rich characterisation
Tactical depth

What could be improved:

System can be heavy at times
Tedious upgrading process for weapons & unlocking new weapons is expensive & requires tracking materials
