The new faces in previous Nintendo Warriors games like Hyrule Warriors were at least good attempts, and I hope to see a fair amount of new faces alongside fan favorites. Based on the designs of the two original characters, Sion and Lian however, I hope original characters will also join the roster. After all, Fire Emblem Awakening pretty much set the standard for the modern incarnation of the franchise with its emphasis on relationships and social connections.

I don't mind that Fire Emblem Warriors will pull its roster mainly from the more recent games. In this month’s issue of Japanese magazine Nintendo Dream, it’s revealed that the game will allow players to select a higher frame rate in exchange for a lower resolution. Fire Emblem Warriors will offer something that we haven’t really seen with Switch games before. I wonder if cavalry units might also make an appearance? Posted on Augby Brian ( NEBrian ) in News, Switch. They also revealed that the game's triangle weapon system will remain intact, suggesting lance and and axe heroes will also feature prominently in the game. In terms of gameplay, the designers at Koei Tecmo and Nintendo revealed that the roster won't just be filled with sword users, but magic users and archers as well. So maybe the characters will either only be from the recent games, or in the case of Marth, famous ones. It's not clear whether or not Fire Emblem Warriors will only be drawing characters from a few games in the franchise, but details say that the cast will be pretty diverse in terms of abilities. Though I have a weird feeling the only character from that game will be Marth. Fire Emblem Warriors Fire Emblem WarriorsĪccording to a feature in the Japanese video game magazine Famitsu, Fire Emblem Warriors will debut a pair of twin heroes named Sion and Lian as they join up with characters primarily from Fire Emblem Fates, and Fire Emblem Awakening, two of the more recent Fire Emblem games on the 3DS.įire Emblem Warriors will also include some characters from Shadow Dragon, a 2008 remake of a classic Fire Emblem game starring Marth. Additional details about rest of the game's cast as well as gameplay details were also revealed. Great gameplay, but clumsy menu management and bland endgame.Is there something you think we should be reporting on? Email Emblem Warriors released some new screenshots for the Switch that give a closer look at the two original characters that will star alongside popular heroes like Marth and Chrom. It’s a decent game and I hope they make a second one, but it does feel a bit empty without the dlc characters. It’s a lot of menu hopping and management and none of it ever felt too engaging because the weapons are bland and all look the same, save for the hero weapons. The weapon forging system is also very stale. It’s fun making your team stronger but sometimes I don’t wanna have to use an archer cause I don’t like them, character-wise, yet the map I’m about to try demands only archers. It feels underwhelming and sometimes borders on feeling like a chore. You basically play the stories of old games in an extremely simplified manner to unlock other characters or skins-like a female version of a particular character.

The History map concept for post-story play is kind of tedious. This game feels fluid and precise with its gameplay and can be above decent at best, but it has a lot of strange ideas. You can level up in Fire Emblem and have only about 16 classes or so to choose from with maybe 20+ characters. The gameplay shines better in Fire Emblem though because of how it feels like a refinement of the formula. During its time, people preferred Hyrule Warriors and I agree with that when it comes to the diversity of HW’s cast. That is so useful when you have missions that require you to protect someone or to intercept and enemy. This is a warriors game that allows you to give your other characters in map commands.
