Online multiplayer is out of the question this time around but Nintendo has still given us a way to play local co-op with a friend.
The result is a surprisingly solid foundation that will help you find hours of enjoyment as you slash through hordes of enemies with your Fire Emblem characters.Īlthough most Dynasty Warriors games focus on the single-player element, there is still a way to play multiplayer with a friend. The game takes on the tried and true Dynasty Warriors hack-and-slash gameplay and infuses some Fire Emblem action into the mix. Hopefully, this won’t be the last Musou crossover we see with Fire Emblem’s world.įire Emblem Warriors was reviewed on the Nintendo Switch, and purchased for review by the author.Fire Emblem Warriors is the latest Dynasty Warriors-inspired Nintendo spin-off. Nailing down how a mounted character should feel makes those characters truly unique playing experiences, and that’s what helps set Fire Emblem Warriors apart from being just another Dynasty Warriors knockoff. While Fire Emblem Warriors is most easily compared to Hyrule Warriors, it really should be compared to Arslan: The Warriors of Legend which was a terrific yet overlooked Musou title. You just simply command units where you want them to go, then switch once they arrive, take the objective, and go back to whomever you want to play and have the most fun with.

This makes for a far more enjoyable experience since you don’t have to rely on the sometimes terrible AI to hopefully learn how to fight. Instead of being tied to one warrior and trying to overexert yourself by getting from point to point when someone is in danger, Fire Emblem Warriors lets you swap characters on the fly. There’s a very real shift in how the battles actually play out. It’s still a lot of fun to play, even though I have complaints about the campaign itself. As it stands, Fire Emblem Warriors is a solid but somewhat lacking entry in the series. There are also plans for at least three DLC packs to include characters that have no reason not to be included in the core game, which feels like an attempt to squeeze more money out of fans as opposed to adding them to the game. Marth is in the game, but other characters that non-fans know like Ike and Roy (because of their Smash Bros appearances) are suspiciously absent. Perhaps the biggest disappointment with Fire Emblem Warriors is how much focus there is on the characters from the most recent Fire Emblem 3DS games. This is a welcoming (and more fleshed out compared to previous attempts) addition and one I could see other Musou games borrow going forward.
The other unique thing you’ll find in this game is the ability to go to the overworld map and command your allies by clicking on their sprites and giving them directions based on what you’ll need to clear the map objectives.
This increases the strategy you’ll need in fights as it’s extremely difficult to siege an Archer army while using a mounted character, and you’re going to have a hard time playing one of the twins against someone who’s got a spear. Axes beat Spears, Spears beat Swords, and Swords beat Axes. You can play in Classic mode, which allows for permadeath, and you’ll also find the triad of attack weaknesses as well.

Eagerly, I chomped at the bit waiting for the eventual release date for Fire Emblem Warriors, and now that I have it in my hands – was the wait worth it?įire Emblem Warriors incorporates elements that fans of the series will immediately recognize. When Nintendo announced that they had finally collaborated with Tecmo Koei for a musou game, I was hyped because I knew Fire Emblem would ultimately get a shot. It’s a bunch of knights, mages, mounted riders, archers, and pretty much everything you’d find in Dynasty Warriors, but in a fantasy type setting instead of feudal China. The one takeaway I always had from attempting to play Fire Emblem games was how their universe seemed ideally suited for a Musou adaptation. It seemed pretty silly that a mounted rider like Camilla could be easily taken down with an arrow, in spite of riding an armor-clad Wyvern. In fact, I tried playing Fire Emblem Heroes on my iPhone but quickly got bored because the game just didn’t excite me. As someone who’s struggled to hold any interest in the SRPG genre, Fire Emblem is a series that has always interested me, but I can’t seem to find any enjoyment in playing it.
