i couldn't ignore how bad the story was despite how pretty it looked. tho its still better than fire emblem fates story.

Not bad, I guess. Never was very fancy on strategy games

Ok so fire emblem engage haf some big shoes to fill coming of three houses. In my opinion it did some stuff better and some worse.

The story for one. Its a cute little story but it can get generic at some points. The characters are usually pretty one note and havent got anything to do with the story if their not a big main character. Zelkov and lindon my goats tho. I wished some characters were more in the story but with the absolute load of characters that exist within the game i think its fair to say that not all of them needed to be developed and implemented more

Coming to the actual gameplay side of the game. Its probably the best combat ive seen so far in any of the fire emblem games i played. Weapons thank god dont break anymore like in three houses, (I guess after breath of the wild they just had to implemeng it in that game to) which makes my life significantly easier. The Weapon triangle is back and its better than ever, you can achieve breaks on an opponent by using certain weapons which is cool. My only real gripe about this is that hand to hand fighters are essentially op considering they break like 3 weapons and i dont think they can be broken at least i havent seen a moment in my playthrough where it happened.

Theres again a wide variety of classes. They are scaled really well with each other and no class really outshines the rest. Same with the difficulty it scales really well as the game progresses, and no moment seemed impossible to overcome. (I played on classic and hard btw).

The main element of the game however are the emblems. The 12 characters of the other 12 main fire emblem games plus seven more if you have the dlc. They are the main elements of fights in the game amd can give your characters a significant boost in strength and other abilities, most of the time giving them additional weapons. Every emblem has an ultimate Special move aswell. Those range from simple attacks to healing moves or letting your unit move another turn. I wouldnt consider any of the emblems really overpowered, except Soren but hes dlc so we wont worry about him.

In short fire emblem engage is a fun fire emblem game, with great combat and game elements, however leave a lot to be desired in terms of story and characters.

Also this is my first review where i actually tried to make an effort and review the game so cool ig.
And with that im giving this game a 7/10

Its so much better than fire emblem 3 houses AND it has Lapis

Cast is cute and enjoyed the music, fun ol 30th anni game

This game is fucking ridiculous, I love it. Might have my favourite gameplay in the series maybe behind fates. When Alear said “I’m the fire emblem?!?” I literally reacted. One of the moments of gaming history
