I love Fire Emblem Three Houses. It is one of my favorite games. When I heard this amazing entry is getting a spinoff in that of a warriors-style game I was ecstatic.
Now playing the game for over a year and a half and completing all routes, for the most part I am satisfied with the experience although its not actually anything particularly outstanding. The warriors combat is what you expect of a warriors game, fun and flashy but mindless. That’s okay. They added an element of strategy with the weapon triangle which I really did like since it is pretty cool as a means of delegating units to certain enemies similar to the genre of the main franchise. One issue I do have with the gameplay is all the added fluff customization that feels ultimately shallow as being part of an annoying bulk that is the camp area. I didn’t want to bother with it at all and the facilities needing to be developed to access better unit classes was a hindrance. Storywise it really does deliver on being this alternate story to FE3H where a lot of established concepts and factions are even more fleshed out though some story parts did feel a chore to watch through. Presentation is amazing for the most part with it more or less looking exactly like FE3H and having an amazing remixed soundtrack full of all the music I cherished in the original game. 7/10, this is part of the FE3H experience.
