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
