    Nice game

    Not my favorite series but a fun visit back to the world of fire emblem

    Pretty solid FE game overall

    Pretty solid Fire Emblem game overall. The art style is superb with great animations and decent voice acting. The story is kind of linear and predictable and I personally found the mobs to be slightly difficult upfront. Once you level your characters and gear up it becomes a lot easier though. Make sure to spend time doing all the activities in Somniel between battles! Like any game, it has a learning curve if you aren't familiar with previous entries in the franchise series. It's basically like a chess with anime characters. Engage is a huge ode to the past for fans though. The Emblem ring mechanic lets you can fuse with popular FE heroes like Marth, Roy, Ike, Lucina, etc. Definitely recommend picking this title up whether you are new or experienced.. I'm positive you'll enjoy it!

    Great game for fans and newcomers as well

    Fire emblem engage is what Three houses should have been. The silent protagonist has gotten old in this day and age. I am glad the protagonist is voiced this time. The story is what you would expect. Enjoyable game with old and newly introduced mechanics

    One step forward, two steps back

    Brings back classic style Fire Emblem, but jettisons some of the great systems that Three Houses added to the series. Plus, the story and character interactions are wholly uninteresting.

    The best keeps getting better

    Big change from Three houses, but I have found it to be much more “engaging” (I’ll see myself out). The story surprised me at just how well executed it is. The combat is the best I’ve experienced in the series, and the engage mechanics give it more depth. I hope Nintendo keeps up the great work with this series.
