Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've been a Fire Emblem fan since 4th grade, when I first played 7 on the GBA (I still play it on commutes). It's been my favorite video game since, and I'm 26 now. As a forever-fan of the series, I can say without a doubt that Three Houses is the best yet. Everything I disliked about Fates and even Awakening has been fixed, such as the black and white writing, one-note characters, and shallow supports. And all the things I loved about Echoes, exploration, art, and story, have been improved on. I'm really glad about this, since Echoes did poorly in sales and reviews (despite being better than Fates ahem). The ideas Echoes introduced weren't tossed in the bin, but rather refined in Three Houses. I greatly appreciate how Intelligent Systems listened to fans and paid close attention to what works and what doesn't. But they also didn't crumble to negativity and put a lot of love and passion to make the game they wanted to make! So in conclusion, House Golden Deer is the best.

Let me be clear. This game is not the type to be universally loved. Do not buy this game if you aren’t a fan of turn based strategic combat. If you are though, this game is a must have title. It has an amazing amount of content and the characters are engaging and relatable. I have already put in over 20 hours and I feel like I’m just scratching the surface.

I know fire emblem from smash and I tried it on 3DS but couldn’t get into it. Fire emblem warriors got me a little more interested in learning about the series, but this game has had just enough more variety that I’ve stayed hooked it compared to 3ds. Looks amazing and tons of content without getting boring. It’s not for everyone but there’s a lot to enjoy.

Never thought I would fall in love with a strategy turn-based combat game... but here we are! It's just gorgeous, the character relationships are detailed and complex, and there are plenty of activities outside of combat, all wrapped up into an engaging story. Please give it a try -- it's worth it!

Fun strategy game for the switch, would recommend.

There are many things to be said about this game, but simply put it is a bestseller for a reason. After completing just one of its multiple endings I can confidently say it has given a truly memorable and enjoyable experience. If the other routes are half as good as the one I finished I can confidently recommend new and old players try out this game.

Best game on the switch hands down. Nintendo first party games never fail to keep you dragged in for days

One of the best games for Nintendo switch. Long 40+ hour play time, interesting battles with different strategies, great story, challenging. Graphics are good for FE. Voice actors did a great job. I’ve played multiple FE games and this is probably the best one yet

This is a really good Fire Emblem game! It gets to a point where there's so much you want to do but only so many things you are able to do, but in a good way. This game adds another strategic layer to an already strategic franchise. I cannot recommend this game enough! Easily one of the best, if not the best, Fire Emblem game in the series!

Home console versions of Fire Emblem come out about once per decade. I don't know if it takes that long to make one, but oh boy is this game a masterpiece. Great characters, great story, tons of depth, tons of replay. If there is an ounce of strategist in you, pick this up and get excited about staying home all the time.

Looking back on the games that came out 2019, I think it's safe to say that Three Houses was my favorite. Everything from the story to the gameplay was engaging and the cast of characters in my house were fantastic. I cannot recommend this game enough, especially if you enjoyed previous entries in the Fire Emblem series.

I was nervous to play this since it was my first FE game. Those feelings went away quickly. The story, the characters, the gameplay it’s super addicting. I’m the kind of person that has to talk to everyone, who has to explore every inch of the monastery, and build relationship with everyone. I haven’t beaten it yet but I’m already hooked.

I am hooked. This game alone justified my switch purchase.

3h is a fun game. gameplay is easy. story is very simple and linear to follow for all three and i suppose; four optional paths. i dont enjoy the dating part of the game/series but it's there for anyone who is interested. would recommend to anyone looking for a simple rpg or if they're trying to get into modern FE games spoiler---- there's a whole debate on which path to play first and i advise to play on your own discretion without spoilers. there's really no specific way to play what route but if you want a general tip or my playthrough style; play in order of: deers -> eagles -> lions -> silver snow

I'm do not usually play tactical games but I do love JRPGs. This game is a wonderful mix of both and I am already playing through it again so I can see a different story path. Game easy to get into and spent way more time in than I thought I would. Really is worth all the hype if you like JRPGS or tatical video games.

I'm not that far into the game yet. It is high quality and very polished from what I have played so far. It's a fantastic change to be able to see Fire Emblem on a large screen with better looking and feeling gameplay than past titles. Story is interesting and characters are varied while their quality is overall fairly consistent

Awesome strategy game. I played through it twice to see how each house's experience was. I didn't get to play through one house, but I hope to do that in the near future. Definitely give this game a try if you like strategy games with a great story.

While having limited exposure to the Fire Emblem series, this game definitely can stand on its own with story/plot line, and character interaction. If you enjoy a great tactical, strategy, role playing, adventure, interactive fiction game with some online components, than this is the game for you...awesome...

Has a great story which you can replay over an over with different choices. Very easy immersion for a beginner

Solid gameplay, (majority) fun characters, and it's on the Switch. Exploration makes it sorta feel like an unpopulated MMO server. Otherwise, Fire Emblem is always reliably fun tactics and combat. May be a little too easy, though--probably recommend starting on hard, even if you're used to starting these games on normal.
