Love this game. Just makes me want even more fireemblem games, with remakes of the Emblem characters stories I have not experienced.
@BmansWorld There's a few that weren't ever released in the West so they would need remakes. The older ones are also atuck on the platforms they released on originally (such as the GBA or Gamecube) which other people might not have access too. Id happily buy them all again if they got released on the Switch.
Yeah homie I want a remake of Thracia / GotHW and the Dawn games so badly.
@@owenpierce2356 Genealogy is up next to be remade, but I wouldn't expect either Path of Radiance or Radiant Dawn to get remakes for a long while
@@hardrubbernips_ well, POR and RD are modern fire emblems. They still very well made and not need a remake. Shadow Dragon has been remade twice on SNES and DS. Genealogy makes sense with Thracia after.
@@lk5388 "modern Fire Emblem" is generally considered to be from Awakening onward. But I do agree that both Tellius games don't need remakes currently, I'd much rather see all of the old Japan exclusive games be remade first and foremost
I'm in the same boat. Sure the story and dialogue ain't gonna win any awards, but characters are still so likable and gameplay is absolutely fantastic :-)
Highly doubt it’ll win any awards at the game awards
characters are extremely bland imo and the story picks up in the second half even if its still meh but the gameplay is amazing
@@Karaamjeet xenoblade 2 vibes
@@therealjaystone2344 don’t even get me started on XC2… XC1 is my GOAT game - i played the original, played the remake and then XC2 happened and they decided to pull a waifu simulator which was so forced it took away from the story and character development
@@Karaamjeet thank god for XC3 but that game is underrated
Personally I like the story AND the combat. Loving the game. The characters have so much personality.
this game is seriously incredible, I'm not even done with it yet and it feels like a top 3 fire emblem game for me personally, the gameplay is so fun and rewarding. I'm playing on hard classic and for once it actually feels hard! The game gives you enough tools to make any situation manageable but actually having to get creative with emblem usage is what has made this game stand out so much. I'm excited to eventually replay it on maddening!
I did that DLC Tiki map on Maddening and MY GOOOOSHHHH was it hard. The constant dragon reinforcements had me calculating each turn like a puzzle where even the Squishies had to be accounted for (being able to take a hit). It was an experience for sure. When I finally beat it at the end I got that feeling of "ahhhhh chef's kiss euphoria". But WOW was that hard.
I played this map on hard and it was a challenge so I can imagine maddening was rough. Did you get the silver ticket?
Did it at CH 8.
Took me 60 turns and 1.5 hours.
Used all my time charges and had to pretty much play perfectly for the last 30 minutes.
Those dragon reinforcements were brutal.
Fun fact, if you missed the silver card, you can get it if you do a skirmish on the divine paralogue, you will not get it on the trial replay if you missed it
After 42 rounds I got it done without a loss and no more time gem uses
there is a causal way for this, just camp all reinforcements, u won't aggro those stationary enemies in the center.
Honestly same
Its by far the most fun ive had in a fire emblem game
cause its a very easy game, which feels like a problem, cause whatever game is next isn't gonna be this, same to 3H from before or awakening to before, they keep making "first timers" entries with no follow up so every game is divisive
@@marcusclark1339 hmm i wouldn’t say easy
Im playing Hard Mode Classic and its definitely a challenge
But i can agree that some of the rings and characters are OP
I fell in love with the series on GBA.. It’s the main reason why I went back to Nintendo systems.. Well and Civilization.. Both in the strategy family
Engage is an absolute masterpiece on so many levels. Devs mixed so many pieces together and represented the legacy of FE so so well. Can't get enough of it either and your thoughts are spot on for me. Cheers and happy grinding
The ring experimentation will keep me addicted for a while. Also the gameplay is a lot better than 3 Houses
To be honest, if people really "need" a story to drive through the gameplay, I would question why they don't just watch movies instead of playing games, or at the very least, I would highly question why they like tactical/strategy games because it sounds like these people don't like them. I don't mean this to sound insulting or elitist, but if someone cannot bring themselves to enjoy the gameplay because the story isn't the next Witcher or whatever, I seriously question why they play games in this genre for. Don't get me wrong, it's nice to have a great narrative and world building, but none of that can really save a poor game anyway.
Gameplay is absolutely peak. Definitely recommend it to long time Fire Emblem fans.
But if you’re someone who needs a story along with your gameplay. Then probably better off waiting till it comes on sale somewhere or the eshop.
That Tiki map took me 45 turns to complete and it was a hoot. It also made me love my girl Yunaka as I found her personal ability increases her crit chance when she's in cover zones. So I hid her in pillars on the map for cover which meant she dodged every attack and was crit-ing fools left and right. So much fun.
Yeah it was rough. I had to go back to the map a 2nd time by spawning a skirmish there since I forgot to get the Silver Card (shiny spot by the lake in the upper left). The skirmish wasn't a walk in the park either. It spawns you literally in the middle of the trident. Easier to get my Silver Card that way but I had to hole up in the middle trident to pick them off one by one.
@@LuckySevn717 I got the silver card the first time but it probably added 10 turns to my battle. I had no idea if the three spawning enemies on the south end would ever stop and I was not going to short myself a unit unless I was sure they would. Did I mention when I started that map my average level was like...8? XD
@@ariwl1 doesn’t the level just scale?
@@regaleagle6533 I'm not near my Switch now so I can't check to be sure. Maybe it does in the Paralogues? I think in the main story each map does give a level recommendation before you enter it.
I feel sorry for everyone not playing this game
Saw arlo’s review of the game and he said the story was so bad he couldn’t play. Maybe I’m just that big a fire emblem fan but I couldn’t care less if the gameplay is amazing. Which it is. Story is a good addition to games obviously but I play for the gameplay in almost every game I play.
Preach it! That’s what I’m saying! The gameplay here is just absolutely perfection!!! It is so much stinking fun!! This is how I felt playing Awakening as my first game, and it’s also why I love Fates despite the story not being great. Fates was the best combat/mechanics imo up to this point, but this game just blows everything out of the water.
I'm about 30 hours in and my biggest issue with this game, and the reason I think Three Houses was such a masterpiece, is the lack of connection with the characters. Every other story mission introduces new characters that join your party and those characters are always way more powerful than your current group of characters. This creates a situation where you are basically always giving up on your current characters and moving to the new ones. Three Houses was so amazing because you spent the entire game with a core set of characters and you followed them on this long, substantial journey. By the end of that game you developed really strong bonds with certain characters and that bond translated into a deep appreciation of the game itself. In this game all the characters are basically just throw-away pieces that are only useful for a very brief period of time.
Basically every other FE is like that though lol. As unfortunate as that was, 3H really put a bar super high up with 5 story branches being able to flesh out your cast in multiple ways. Because lets be completely honest, if 3H was just one route, it wouldn't be as deep with its entire cast. Like I don't want to say it cheated in that regard but....having ALL of those replays with different scenarios gave it a literal edge over every other existing FE made.
Yeah I'm having a hard time giving up my early units because i grew attached to them but they definitely aren't putting in that work compared to the new units
I still use Louis he's an absolute beast with Emblem Sigurd and he looks cool with his hair
There's a pretty good gameplay reason too. Suppose someone wanted to do a classic nuzlocke run where deaths are permanent and you cant reset. You'll have lost all the investment for that character. This is one solution. I believe even as far back as shadow dragon you had to lose a certain amount of units to recruit certain units. In other games you could have prepromotes join later or have child units. So all in all, I think this was approached well.
Funny enough, I feel complete opposite. The cast in 3H didn't really give me that attached feeling except for some units like Dimitri, Eldegard, Claude,... Starting from my second playthrough the rest of the cast in 3H is just meh to me because I know behind all of those support story they're gonna die anyway if they're not recruited into my house. Starting from my third playthrough I didn't even want to bother reading their support anymore.
That is the 1st Fire Emblem that I play (I try 2 or 3 others, but never get to far). I'm 25h in, chapter 14, and i'm lovin it. The history is not awsome, but its not bad, is simple but enough. And the gameplay... Amazing!
Playing normal - classic and i very ofter have to restart the battle for losing someone
The story ain't going to win any awards, but everything else is probably peak Fire Emblem (bar Genealogy of Holy War and Awakening as far as integrating gameplay and character development being interwined). Animations, UI/UX, gameplay, tactical design of every map, etc... It's honestly great. While I still belive the 2 best Fire Emblem games I've played are the ones I mentioned before, but this one is such a great complete package that it's possibly the first console FE I've liked so much since Path of Radiance.
You are my most trusted and liked RPG review guy, you actually can hear how much appreciate the games you like. Persona 5 is amazing, and I wouldn't have played if you didn't exist.
Your video is the first negative things I’ve ever heard about this game, lol. Honestly, I’m not really out there looking for what people think though, as a Fire Emblem fan I picked it up with pretty low expectations, thought it would be pretty cool, and I’m pleasantly surprised at how deep and complex it is. I’m absolutely loving it and I’m only about 10 hours in. So much fun. I think they did a great job.
The gameplay only gets better as you find strats that work for you and grinding it out on hardmode with 20 minute long battles are so rewarding. Not in any mood to rush through
Literally installing it now
The story is hilarious and campy lmao, especially the support which are short but sounds like a sitcom scene. I like the story, though not the same way I love genealogy. Anyways the AMAZING gameplay especially on hard mode compensates the sitcom level story!
This game is so much more respect and praise. He died it. It’s unbelievable how good it looks how improve it is compared graphically to the last fire emblem.
Maybe I was missing something but I didnt really play three houses for the story and I thought it was incredibley anime tropey like what people are saying about this one. but the fights remind me of 7 and 8 a tactics game instead of a collect a waifu game. Both have their... benefits but I love fire emblem because of the tactics and I am glad its coming back in full force.
Also Louis with sigaurd is a sick early combo like a pegusus knight that can go and murder a mage and tank everything else. Very much looking forward to the battles ahead on maddening difficulty.
I love that fire emblem is starting to be more main stream. Such a great franchise.
I grew up on corny stories from JRPGs so that is the reason I like the story of this game. Yeah, there were always JRPGs with amazing stories such as Final Fantasy and such that came over but I fell more in love with Dragon Quest (aka Dragon Warrior when I first played it) than Final Fantasy and they typically followed the same goofy story with dark undertones. The story reminds me of simpler times. The supports are memorable for me since quite a few of them had me busting my gut from laughing so hard. To each their own though. I have my own biased perspective as do others.
3 houses was overrated AF. Engage is the classic FE I wanted
Just bought it because it has almost every character from Smash (Fire Emblem characters of course) and I hope they released Chrom & Robin for the Wave 2 DLC. Loving this franchise even more.
I especially like how Intelligent Systems commited and doubled down on the comic relief cast of characters rather than attempting to write a great story and fall off ending up with a story that makes no sense *cough* fates *cough*. Engage isn't trying to impress anyone with the story -- and they don't need to, yet still wrote a simple enough story that make sense in it's own right. Characters are goofy gimmicky but not single-dimension troupe and overall lovable.
As much as I love Three Houses lore, settings and their characters (played all 4 routes + DLC, 2 of them on maddening), the gameplay experience is sorely lacking especially in the 2nd half of the game.
To anyone who are still considering whether to get Engage or not, coming from someone who played all games from FE6 onwards (most on maddening/lunatic), Engage has the greatest gameplay and it's a must-have if you're a SRPG fan.
pretty much, its a hold over game with easier gameplay, its gonna get praise just by that unfortunately, its a game to skip especially if u already played 3H cause if u want a easy game to "start with" any of the new stuff is, which is part of the problem
its just a mid game thats easy
@@marcusclark1339 Not sure where you're getting the idea that Engage is easy. It has way better combat system compared to 3H and far more depth for strategic plays, and by no means that imply that the game is easy.
I like this game. Three Houses was good too. I hope this one sells just as good or better. I would enjoy seeing a new or remastered Fire Emblem every 3 or 4 years.
Agreed 100% with your views, while I liked the social aspects of Three House and multiple story path, Engage I feel is more rewarding. Battle wise honesty Engage need you to think very hard even when you grind for levels, still it literally can but smack you in the face on skirmishes not like Three House where as at certain point, literally you can battle everything without any casualty with combination of long range mage type and certain decent frontlines. Onto story, developer certainly deserves much applaud for integrating cut scenes in every narrative,
I went for hard/classic too, and I'm enjoying the hell out of this game. That Tiki map took me by surprise!
I dont get why some people overreact about the story that it pulls down their enjoyment of the game. The combat is where its at, its still an sprg to the core so thats what matters to me and not like people giving some negatives to it just because the story is not up to what they want and the social sim stuffs.
I don’t get people complaining about the story and characters… I love all of this. This game is so fun and the story is under appreciated. I know it’s camp, but so is most of anime. That only adds to the charm.
I think I'm addicted to Fire Emblem Divine One as well. Currently working through the DLC map... It's something else on Maddening 😭
Ya it’s the hardest map for me so far lol which is nice to see from a dlc map. If I was ready for it building my team I think it would be different
Started the FE series with Three Houses, loved that game. I'm loving Engage just as much. Fantastic series.
I am really loving the gameplay - perhaps the most streamlined and interesting in FE history? The story and characters I am feeling less cringy about the more I play, but it's still a step down from 3 Houses.
I love the game. Although the story is a bit bumpy at times. And the characters stories seem a bit flat. but the character designs are great and the voice acting is great to, and the colours!
I’m enjoying engage a lot more than three houses and I love the characters in this game more!
Man, Im addicted too. I already beat the game 2 days ago and I just keep going. I must say this is the best Fire Emblem gameplay wise, I get it the story is a bit wonky at times but it's not that bad. I find the story decent and just seeing the references with the previous characters just makes my heart melt (especially with Sigurd). I have hope when the genealogy remake comes out that game will be a banger.
Omg I sunk so much time in killing the 4 hounds in that one map where you’re supposed to run away. It wasn’t even the objective, but I was like “bet I can take yalls on” and just spent forever killing EVERYTHING on the map (the 4 Hounds, the 2 dragons, etc.). None of my characters were even level 20 at the end of the round, but this self-imposed challenge was so much fun. This was classic mode, so I had to make sure everyone survived, but it was on normal difficulty so I had infinite rewinds once that became available again 😅
Did anyone else do this too?
The gameplay is great in Engage however I really liked 3H story. And yes I did a maddening/classic playthrough of Verdant Wind.
I'm enjoying the game a lot, but it's discouraging finding out there is no New Game +. I guess maybe I'll just replay next year after all the DLC comes out.
I’m enjoying this game and I’ve been playing fire emblem since radiance
I'm addicted to it too! I was pleasantly surprised by how deep it goes!
Loving it so far, especially the music and graphics!
Only a few hours in so far and the only downside is that not everything is voiced like it was in Three Houses.
For Three Houses I was actually shocked that even minor NPC’s were voiced lol and it definitely made the game much better.
I wouldn’t mind it as much if the auto-advance didn’t automatically go to the next text even when the dialogue isn’t voiced…
I think the gameplay is amazing. In and out of battle. Combat might be the best in the series. Emblems are great. Overworld is so much better than 3H. However, the horrible writing makes it incredibly difficult to get attached to any units. I'm more attached to the emblems than the units they're attached to.
I just wish they picked better Lords for the Emblems. Namely Hector and Ephraim over Lyn and Eirika.
I'm playing on Hard/Classic as well. The rewind feature can actually make things very forgiving.
Thats why its a bad feature. Im maddening and find the game waaaaaaay to easy
@@johnymcmuffins7898 my only qualm is 10 rewinds is too many, and if we had to have 10 on Hard mode Maddening should have been down to 5 or something. I never thought it would get more prevalent than Three Houses across the board. Infinite rewinds on Normal/Easy makes me wonder what is the point of even playing the game?
You could also just impose the restriction onto yourself. One of your characters dies just restart the mission like in old FE.
@@CalciumChloride4 or just let it die cuz theres no difference in resetting vs divine pulsing
@@johnymcmuffins7898 you could divine pulse back to beginning, but he’s referring to divine pulsing to a few moves back; thus, there being a difference.
I completed my run on maddening/classic and it was great. The story was okayish , the supports some where quite good. Overall I had fun but one big complain for me is there’s no new game plus.
omg Tiki map was so brutal. I was so scared because by the end of it I was runing out of healing and the reinforcment kept coming. So happy when I succeded it was so tight.
Hard mode is great. I thought it was gonna be to easy.
Getting excited for for my no ring run.
Are you planning to use inherited skills still?
oh that's a great idea, a no ring run sounds super challenging
For the hard Tiki DLC map, I cheesed it with a Thief Evasion Tank strategy. When you first get to that Ice floor tile, Bring your Thief and Cavalry on the right. The Cavalry s job is to make it all the way around the castle to get the Unique 30% discount item around it (With atleast 6 total Vulnerary Items to survive Dragon Frost breaths). Your Thief's job is to sit in the bottom woods tiles the entire mission south of the stairs. REASON being that random trios of strong enemies will spawn here INFINITELY once you get the first sigil for Tiki's gate and will not stop spawning until you finally opened it. Your Cavalry does nothing once you got that Item, Your Thief will stall and kill all enemies while only having trouble against mage, which you want high Avoid atleast 60+.
For the center of the map, have your Archer with Mini 5+, Iron 3+, AND long bow for each range. You put them inside the pillars for the avoid buff and camp the enemies out will safely assisting the adds. Your archer will chip all 3 of the boss(Tiki Dragon) and you can finish her with your Engage skills when you know for sure you can confirm the final revive she has. Make sure to have the Dawn Avoid Crest on the mini bow for max evasion and Long bow with whatever you like.
EDIT: with hit rates, I've been very lucky. But there was a occasion that I actually recorded where my damn mage MISSED a 99% hit rate Thunder. I started laughing with my brother.
What matters most
1) characters and charcter development: 2/10 ( every single character falls under a Prince/princess or there retainer. Copied and pasted 10 times. Almost all dialogue lines feel empty or could be swapped out with any character. Very little in the way of strong personalities seen in 3 houses.
2) Story: 3/10 ( Not only is the story bland, but is constantly inconsistant with what is displayed on screen. Characters are often surrounded in cutscene only to have scaped immediatly after without any explanation. Beaten bosses run away without chase.
3) Combat: 8/10 ( Combat is at its best visually with a nice touch to weapons no longer breaking and adjustments to how "Great" weapons inflict knockback. However Emblem rings are an awful addition clearly capatalising on the fact that most players know Fire emblem from Smash Bros.
It absolutely sucks that you can't power up or train your weaker units. I think the characters in this game look very good however the dialogue offered from each is terrible. 3 Houses is far greater for story and characters with a beter focus on slowly building each character over time as opposed to having all of these broken emblem characters with OP abilities. If we had the writers from 3 houses working on this game it could have been the best in the series. As it stands its one step forward 2 steps back.
Tiki Paralogue was fun indeed, the wyvern plus random enemy spam from the bottom of the map was a good endurance fight.
First time playing a Fire Emblem game and playing it on Hard casual. Fantastic game. Will defo be playing multiple playthroughs as I get better at the game and increase the difficulty levels. So much fun!
I'm fine with campy stories and am thoroughly enjoying this. Reminds me of ff x-2 xenoblade 2 and x
Also I agee that you gotta play on classic in order to truly appreciate the weight and reward of each battle. I prooly wouldn't even bother using the time stone on lower difficulty
I like it better than 3 houses it definitely looks better and the soundtrack is better but 3 houses is a great game
Eh this hame way to freakin easy im on maddening breezing through. 3 houses was alot harder and took more strategy l. Or maybe i just got rlly good at fire emblem after playing 3 houses for 500 hrs?
@@johnymcmuffins7898 , heh repetition is indeed the mother of skill.
I agree 3 houses was a bit harder I'm kinda breezing thru engage but I always do my 1st play thru on normal for the story then my 2nd on hard
I'm really considering picking this up, looks solid. but i never played a fire emblem game. not sure if its easy to just jump in at this point of the series.
Of course it is. Pick up a play. Lots to work out though
I recommend you playing three houses
3 houses Was good but tiring social so not a good jumping in point.. I dropped it
@@ZeNex74 so you didn’t like persona?
@The Real Jay Stone still trying to play p5. 50hrs in
I don’t think the story is bad per-se, just predictable. But I don’t necessarily think that is an awful thing, it’s simple and there are benefits in simplicity.
I would buy this game if I wasn’t still addicted to Xenoblade 3, I’m on my 4th play through right now.
I just wish it has new game plus. Cause even though it's just a single playthrough, I still wanna play through it another time but as my stronger units instead of starting from scratch if you wanna start a new game again.
I used to play Age of empires and I’ve been trying to find a game that replaces my childhood feelings for that game. And I think fire emblem is it. At least the newer games for me. My first one was three houses so I think ima enjoy this game as well.
Since I don’t believe in myself and think that maybe I wouldn’t be able to finish the game on the hard mode and classic I am playing on causal, but every time a character dies I have to restart the map. I’ve just finished chapter 11, and boy what a map lol (had to replay it once cuz I lost Alfred for the last mob)
It has the best combat of any SRPG I'd argue, very hard to put the game down. If I have ONE gripe, it's the loading times, I wish they were shorter. Other than that, it's perfect.
Fire Emblem is always fun.
It's a fantastic game. I just wish the dialog hadn't been so heavily modified due to to laziness & expense to remove all gender inflections so either body type has the exact same conversations (and thereby removing any benefit of choice), and that all romance options hadn't been turned into friendships - also likely due to ensuring all conversations between body types are identical. Great game, lazy & cheap localization.
And now I await all the strawman accusations that I want to romance children. Oh, wait. I turned-off reply notifications, so I won't be waiting. I'll continue on with my day secure in the knowledge that my statement is factual while others attempt to defend this lazy & cheap writing by attempting to make accusations I'll never be responding to, making said accusations ineffective & pointless!
Except for that one person who stated awhile back that Fire Emblem never had romance options - never figured out what alternate reality they were from.
I'm having the exact opposite experience... with Three Houses, I couldn't stop playing, couldn't wait to pick it up again. With Engage, I'm forcing myself to keep playing because the story and characters don't make me interested at all...
I actually played until somniel got unlocked, then resumed playing pathfinder wrath of the righteous, cause im more hooked on it even tho i already have 500h. The comparison with 3H is painful, i finished claude and edelgarde, and played a bunch of blue lions before moving on. The only FE game that absorved me more than that was Awakening.
The game’s great. I like that they reduced the social sim features. Three Houses wasn’t a bad game at all, but the social sim in that game didn’t appeal to me. I much prefer how Engage has it set up. Not too overbearing, but it’s still there. The story is okay. I didn’t mind it at all. If you like SRPGs, it’s a must buy to add to the collection.
people are complaining about the story, then theres me who just skips every cutscene just so i can get back to the gameplay
The story isn't that bad. It's pretty neat with some twists and turns (´-﹏-`；)
Respectable. I like story and the combat honestly.
that's not a solution to a bad plot, that's just complacency out of personal attachment to a ok brand
and still means it has a bad story and weak characters, playing only for gameplay - gameplay isn't just in combat its every system of a game (story, dialogue interactions, ui, combat, upgrade systems, walking around world, social systems) never be complacent with less
So you have no clue what's happening and who's who? Lol
Ppl complain about the story but can never give an example of why it's bad...yall need to come out of the elitism echo chamber. This is from someone who has played all 16 other FE games on their hardest difficulty
Does this game have a good tutorial? I've never played these games but I'm really drawn to this one. I understood very little during any section that showed the map lol
Tiki's map legit took me 2hrs plus. I had work the next day but i couldn't put it down even though it was 1am
While I've got a handful of technical gripes, they aren't with the core gameplay.
The reworked weapon triangle and the class type abilities (backup, covert, mystical, etc.) are the first mechanics I've seen since FE5 that I think can go beyond "gimmick of the game" level and become a staple for the series moving forward.
FE1 created a baseline for the series, while 3 followed suit, and 2 was... experimental. FE4 introduced the weapon triangle and skills. FE5 allowed the Constitution to offset weapon weight, added rescue mechanics, and introduced a double strike speed threshold (must be 4 faster than the opponent.) I guess you could give Shadows of Valentia credit for Combat Arts as a worthwhile addition to the core mechanics of the series, although honesty, I don't feel Valentia or 3 Houses got it quite right, and we need to see it fleshed out more.
The other mechanics, Biorythm (The FE Equivalent to Smash Bros. Tripping) 3DS Support Pairing, the Monastary, I very much see as things to make specific games stand out, but are not meant to be present in all entries.
Now that being said, I don't think it's perfect. Covert's double terrain bonus is FAR too powerful, especially when combined with Byleth's fog creation, and other avoid skills. I also think the current break system is a little too powerful. Adding an additional requirement for breaks I think is in order. Steel weapons have traditionally been the ugly duckling due to being heavier than iron and silver weapons, but I think giving them and other heavy weapons break resistance could really help them out.
Fire Emblem games on the 3DS were amazing but then Three house was beyong garbage so i really hesitate to buy this one :S
if you liked conquest you'll like this game a lot!
Just wanted to say that the "Corrupted" song is just so FIRE!!! Every time it comes on, I start vibin'. Makes me feel bad when I kill them tho cuz I love their soundtrack
I believe for non essential mission maps, you can set the soundtrack to whatever song you want. One of them being the Corrupted.
I saw a review say the game was too easy and they were playing normal mode + casual 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yep can't complain it's to easy when you pick the easiest mode. I also doubt this reviewer never lost a unit either. They said I didn't get completely wiped out on the easiest difficulty.
That tiki map on maddening ain’t something to sneeze at
I'm on normal casual. Odd loss here and there but I'm still early in game. Once I learn more then move to hard
@@ZeNex74 you're unfortunately not able to increase difficulty in a save
@@BigmanDogs yea i saw, i also dont believe i was given the option to choose difficulty. ill see if i ever restart
Top tier game story is fine to me. I am 30+ hours in and I am loving it.
I love this Fire Emblem, it’s pretty good. Of course I play on Maddening Classic from the start. It’s far easier than the 3 Houses Maddening which was far harder than the Hard mode in 3 Houses, but the only way to play a real Fire Emblem game in 3 Houses.
This FE is a return to the true FE gameplay.
Got to go maddening. It’s actually possible and well balance compare to some other game where it was impossible without cheesing it.
I’m at chapter 17 and feel find
That anybody would be UPSET about any of this is interesting to me. I played 3 houses for 200+ hours and went through 6 playthroughs. And I still love this. I, of course, loved the lore of three houses more. But how could I be upset about this game? It’s so freakin good
I wonder if Essence knows you can just rewind the turn so you don't have to restart every time you commit a mistake haha
Yeah Im playing through this game on maddening/classic. Im on chapter 7 and I had to restart the map 25 times. Very brutal.
I just finished the game and it was great, and to be honest the story is quite nice(people were were exaggerating over the story, ALSO People a generic story does NOT equal a bad game) it's much better than a LOT of the older fire emblem games, and i liked the cast aswell(i forgot about a couple of them since i don't use them, but thats with every FE) also the gameplay is the same as it has always been, the engage system was quite cool as well(kinda reminded me of Armatization from Tales of zesteria) so all in all it's good game and a great start to the year a solid 8/10 from me.
How are you able to finish a 50+ hours game in the 5 days the game became available ? Even 2h a day it will last me 5 weeks o_0
Playing all day every day then. Rest of us lucky an hour a day. Still got persona 5 to do also and octo2 also comes soon. That's months now.. then zelda
People are too hard on the story. It's a solid 6/10. Serviceable, fine, adequate, average. There's nothing wrong with that, and the gameplay is a blast.
Philosopher Reviews: Fire Emblem Engage (2023):
This is essentially third-world country warlord simulator.
* Child soldiers
* A woman who looks suspiciously like a prostitute and deals with poison (from where?) and says, "I can handle myself". She is just recruited next to the child soldiers.
* Protagonist just seem to recruit anyone who passes by. Naive as heck.
* Evil enemies who look like the KFC gaming console. Corrupted indeed.
* A protagonist with a God complex who feeds his army with food he/she finds on the floor. Sometimes this food is cooked too. Sane, am I right? Nope. This basic work will not be done by your troops. This is a warlord's work.
* Gatcha game.
* DLC pass.
* Protagonist can handle a warband but not specific types of pets such as cats and chickens.
* Robbie Rotten lookalike who dies early on. That sucks.
Summary:
When you're engaged, prepare for divorce.
I got 10 hours in on chapter 10 watched some of your videos on tutorial a d started again having abit more knowledge and loving it
I will definitely check out this game. I am glad to hear that this game have great review. Thank you for your review bro. I appreciate you.
The only problem I had was when a couple of my units was lv 20 ready to level up I didn't get them the right profeicy in certain stuff so I couldn't promote them to the one who I want and not a real problem but sucks my favorite emblem character you didn't get to till late
I'm loving the game. My biggest criticism though, is the writing feels more juvenile than 3H. There seems to be too many anime tropes, that they seemed to be steering away from in 3H.
I think people put too much stock in the story elements. Not that they shouldn't, but so far I feel like they are actually on the level of supports from FE7. FE3H was a huge outlier in it's characters and writing because they were much more ambitious then most Fire Emblem games. Engage is a traditional FE game and that's fine. It's better than Awakening and Fates and that is good enough for me.
Would you suggest this game or the three of houses game for a new player? I've not played any of the games but I'm interested
Honestly I would say either of the two games are great. I have well over 150 hours on Three Houses, and already at 35 hours on Engage. Engage is definitely a lot smoother and prettier to look at imo though.
But the story and supports though.....😵
Hands down the best fire emblem game of all time, these critics and reviewers have no clue what they are talking about clearly
I finished 3H 2 weeks ago. At the end I just skipped the calends social nonsense it was too much . I’m liking this one so far
For anyone who has completed the game, is there new game plus?
Engage is probably not going to knock Parh of Radiance/the Tellius series from the top spot of favorite FE games, but if it keeps going at the pace it does, it’ll make top 5, maybe top 3. To me, the gameplay is great, the story is fun (especially when you steer into its campiness), and it flows so nicely. Is it cliche and predictable sometimes? Sure, but just because it’s predictable doesn’t mean it’s bad, especially when you got gameplay like this
Engage story won’t even reach top 5
I feel like a lot of the hate is just 3H fans angry that a 3H part 2 isn't out... Engage looks fun its got for the first time a non predatory gacha I'm left with okay. Maybe true doesn't have the social features. But I didn't come to Fire Emblem that is a tactical combat game to have to learn 90 characters likes and dislikes. I came for the combat. And that is what Fire Emblem ENGAGE brings to the table. Not to mention FE Engage is 31% short of FE 3H's what total sales?! selling 1.2 ish million more to catch up muchless surpass is gonna be easy when theres over what 135 million switch users 🤣
If it has the best gameplay, then it's the best one.
Yeah I'm loving it about 8 hours in. Classic mode is the way to go.
Intelligent Systems did not disappoint in this fire emblem game. Awesome developers!
