Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes - Nintendo Switch – OLED Model, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite

In all seriousness, though, this game does it's job as an addition to the Three Houses lore very well, in addition to using what is, in my opinion, the best Dynasty Warriors gameplay system. The stories are good- not quite as good as the Blue Lions route of Three Houses, but still on par with the other 3H routes. And you get a good protagonist this time!

Return to Fodlan in an alternate story that expands on the one from Three Houses.

KoeiTecmo returns with another Fire Emblem spinoff this time based on the hit Switch game Fire Emblem: Three Houses. You take the control of a mercenary teaming up with the three academies from Garreg Mach Monastery. Any academy the player choose will give the a new story to follow and a ton of Warriors to fight with. Train, talk and form a strategy to strengthen your bonds and stats with the Warriors by fighting hordes of soldiers in each map to progress further in the chapter. While the battles can get monotonous, and the dialogue can drag on a bit, the action and characters will keep you coming back for more surprises on what will happen next. Whether you’re a Fire Emblem fan or not, Three Hopes is the spinoff you definitely want to try out. +Action +Characters +Story +Music -Dialogue can drag a bit -Like most Warriors games, it can get pretty monotonous

Step above Warriors in every way. Gameplay, story, characters are all great the performance could be better but it's a fantastic game!

I have little experience with the Warriors franchise games, and none with the Fire Emblem series; however, I've found this to be a pretty fun game that seems to blend what I believe are some of the core elements of Fire Emblem games (the weapon system, mob types, the support system between characters) with the Warriors style "Mow through swarms of chaff to get to the big units/bosses" action combat gameplay. The story itself is something of a side/alternate story to Fire Emblem: Three houses, with a different main character but the same secondary characters. Not a short game either - you can easily put 100+ hours into this if you complete all three story paths and are being reasonably completionist. Value wise, I bought it on clearance for $43 at the end of December '23, and I think it's absolutely worth it at that price for having a physical copy. As I'm writing this in March '24 it's now on clearance for $30... you'll never be able to get a new copy this cheap, nor will you ever find the digital copy that cheap (or ever on sale for that matter).

Good game. I love Fire Emblem AND Warriors games .

Fire Emblem Three Hopes is two things— a 1. Warriors / Musou game and 2. a “what if” story based on Fire Emblem Three Houses. For those of you who have played Warriors games before, this game will be one of the best you’ve played— it has all of the elements introduced in Zelda Age of Calamity, and it’s improves everything (even the frame rate!). Plus, it has many new elements specific to the Fire Emblem series, such as classes, support ranks, weapon durability, etc. and honestly, the best part about the game is the fantastic story— probably the best Warriors story on Switch, and it has all of your favorite Three Houses characters too. However, the real question is, can I recommend this game to someone who doesn’t like Warriors games? If you haven’t played a Warriors game before, you should play the free demo of this game on the Nintenso eShop before you buy it. If you have played them and don’t like the gameplay (strategic 3D brawler against hundreds of soldiers where the soldiers almost don’t matter— the strategy of which soldiers you go after does). You can’t button mash your way through this game, but there IS a lot of pressing the same two buttons to combat the fields of enemies. It’s very complex if you give it a chance, but people who don’t like this genre might not make it to the complex parts if they can’t see past the core gameplay. Overall, I love this game and you will too if you like Warriors / musou games. If you don’t like this genre or aren’t sure, play the demo first.

Very fun game! Similar to Dynasty Warriors. With some extra cool power moves.
