I’m not a huge Fire Emblem fan, so, keep that in mind. I played awakening and am aware of the million FE characters added in to Smash so that’s about all I got. I’m also not a big tactical role playing fan either ,but, I do like anime. Many people have told me this is there favorite game on the switch and that it was one of the best you could play. So I was curious. I started with Blue Lions and was digging Dmitri and his crew. The game play was fun. And I enjoyed the side quest and character interactions. But the story never grabbed me. Eventually half way through the game I just started skipping cut scenes because I just didn’t care.

I enjoyed Claude’s character and was hoping the game would change more considering it’s a new crew and it does , but not by much. It felt monotonous just repeat the same missions all over again. There were some changes but not enough to wow me. By the time I beat Claude’s story I was so burnt out and at this point don’t care to finish the black eagles story line. I’ll just look up the ending on YouTube. The combat is fun and I loved how you level up and customize your characters classes, that was great. I like that you can influence who your characters can marry and enjoyed seeing the characters interactions. I like that you can recruit characters from other houses and how it adds to the story.

The game looks great for a switch title as well and the music could be pretty epic at times. I always felt my characters were super over powered and didn’t feel a lot of challenge. Some characters were interesting but I felt like I didn’t care for most of them or their designs too much. All in all this one just didn’t do it for me. I know it’s a beloved title and if you enjoy please do but for me, it just didn’t hit.
