8/10 I Fire Emblem Engage A more traditional Fire Emblem experience than Three Houses, but one that’s filled with fun new features and emphasises deep and varied gameplay over dating mini-games.
successfully making the jump to the Switch and becoming the best-selling entry so far. The question now is whether Engage will exceed it.
The storytelling and dialogue in Engage is very unsophisticated but there’s a guilelessness about it that makes it much more tolerable than Three Houses’ amateurish attempts to seem more serious and grounded. Engage still features plenty of earnest monologues about the evils of war but, especially towards the end, its goofy charm allows you to get surprisingly emotional over its paper-thin characters.
The emblems in Fire Emblem are rarely mentioned in most of the games but here they follow around whoever holds their ring, whether good or evil, like ghostly apparitions . Once activated, by defeating a certain number of grunts or using special energy pools, they combine with the character holding them for three turns and grant access to a wide range of extra special moves, weapons, and abilities – while looking like a weird sci-fi angel.
The many and varied considerations brought on by using emblems is in addition to the normal class upgrades and equipment loadouts you have to worry about. There’re also more complex questions about permanently inheriting abilities once your bond with an emblem has reached a certain level, as well as creating minor rings, featuring more obscure characters, that only enhance stats and upgrading weapons to improve their stats or change their resistances.
