While the mediocre voice acting and story could turn off some people who aren’t as well acquainted with the genre or either of the series, Fire Emblem Warriors is a worthy addition to the Nintendo Switch lineup of any fan of Musou games, Fire Emblem, or Hyrule Warriors.Īs with most crossovers, Fire Emblem Warriors needed an excuse to bring multiple characters from a variety of games into the same world and did so with tepid results.
More importantly, I hoped Fire Emblem Warriors would bring the Fire Emblem franchise to a somewhat different genre, while still retaining some of the same elements and flair that make it enjoyable in the first place.įortunately, Fire Emblem Warriors stuck the landing and can splice some distinct Fire Emblem mechanics into the typical Warriors game, keeping things fresh for both series.
I was first introduced to the series with Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon after playing that, I picked up many of the past games and have beaten every Fire Emblem title since the series’ resurgence. Lo and behold, I got it with Fire Emblem Warriors.įire Emblem is another Nintendo IP that I thought would be a good pick for a Warriors game, so I’m glad the developers felt the same. After playing Hyrule Warriors, I was eager to see another Nintendo/Koei Tecmo collaboration.
When I finally got my hands on the game, I wasn’t disappointed I found the gameplay loop intensely satisfying and thought that The Legend of Zelda series helped spice up the typical Warriors -like Musou formula. As a fan of both The Legend of Zelda series and the occasional Dynasty Warriors title, I couldn’t wait to see a more action-oriented take on the series. I remember eagerly anticipating Hyrule Warriors from the moment it was first announced.
