‘FIRE EMBLEM ENGAGE’ - REVIEW ROUNDUP!
What with all the excitement of the Fell Dragon rising this Friday for the launch of Nintendo’s Fire Emblem Engage, we know there’s some of you guys and girls that prefer to wait for reviews before making that pre-order commitment! As always, we get it and we’ve got it. “It” being reviews of course… Right this way:
IGN - 9/10
“It’s no small feat that Fire Emblem Engage is able to tell a simple-but-fun story that celebrates the vast history of its series in a way that doesn’t rely on prior knowledge of that legacy.”

Eurogamer - Recommended
“This is a fine RPG that further innovates an already rich combat system, and while long-term fans will get more from this, newcomers might be inspired to check out the rich history of this strategy series.”

GameInformer - 9/10
“It’s one of the most gripping games I’ve played on Switch and, ultimately, one I struggled to peel myself away from. If Three Houses was an experiment with where Fire Emblem’s social mechanics can go, then Engage is doing the same for the series’ evolving combat, and excelling just as much, too.”

NintendoLife - 9/10
“If you’re coming to this one looking for the depth of content in the downtime between battles that Three Houses provided, you’re going to be disappointed, simple as that. But if you’re here for the combat — if all you really want from Fire Emblem is to test your mettle against super smart adversaries in some of the slickest and most satisfying turn-based combat around — Intelligent Systems has got you well and truly covered. We doubt you’ll play many better tactical RPGs in 2023 than this one.”

GodIsAGeek - 9.5/10
“Fire Emblem Engage is a masterpiece of tactical gameplay design. Varied enemies, classes, combat systems, and more make it feel like the best the genre has to offer. An interesting story runs through everything, and there’s even multiplayer options to keep you coming back, should you somehow tire of the exquisite combat.”

Destructoid - 9/10
“When Fire Emblem Engage was first announced I was wary of the visual style, but it grew on me once I saw it in action. The strategic bits are smooth, the customization element is deep, and I’m a sucker for the tasteful fan service that we’re getting with the appearance of past franchise heroes.”
