Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave Reviews
The new Fire Emblem will either win over fans or put them off.
Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is a huge, ambitious installment that's initially difficult to pin down. The four stories, shared progression, and the multitude of systems revolving around battles take time to show how everything is connected, but once they do, it's hard not to get swept up in the choral narrative.

If you’re any kind of Fire Emblem fan, Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is a slam dunk.
Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is another step forward in the direction already charted by Three Houses. The new installment not only grows in size, but also further refines its gameplay systems, improving and deepening them, and adding a wealth of side activities and macro- and micro-management options that will truly delight those who loved the modern take on this historic saga.

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is a massive SRPG and an extremely ambitious game. While its tactical battles, exploration, and management systems are excellent, a disjointed narrative holds this entry back from its potential.
Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is one of the best entries in the series and a must-play for fans of JRPGs and tactical games. It draws inspiration not only from Three Houses, but also from earlier instalments in the series, featuring excellent map design, satisfying gameplay and a tremendous amount of content. However, due to its sheer scale, its storyline suffers, offering a disjointed narrative with too many subplots and loose ends. Despite this, it is currently one of my contenders for GOTY.

Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave delivers another comforting title, bringing a lot of what worked from recent titles Three Houses, Engage, and Echoes all into one. While its story is grandiose and epic, it’s longer than it needs to be, leading to a massively bloated Part 1 and a weirdly streamlined Parts 2 and 3.
Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is another slam-dunk for the Nintendo Switch 2. A bona fide evolution of what came before it, combining the best elements of its recent entries with spectacular results. Perhaps most impressive, is just how well paced this enormous adventure is despite its lengthy runtime.
Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is a genuinely massive achievement, in scale and in ambition, with real depth and variety across the whole game.
Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is a massively intelligent experience, with deep and rich themes, characters, and gameplay systems.
Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is one of the best strategy games of recent years, brilliantly building on the series’ tried-and-tested foundations whilst adding some brilliant new ideas. Brilliant tactical battles, four intertwining storylines and a wealth of options for developing your team mean you can easily spend over 100 hours in this world. Not all storylines and activities are of the same high standard, and the sheer number of systems can sometimes feel overwhelming, but for fans of the genre, this is an absolute must-play.

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave desires to be the largest and the best title in the series. As Fire Emblem is not only about rich plot and dense battles, you can enjoy full-fledged game with large amount of activities between battles. Enriched with dungeons, nice world-map and better balance in the game structure, this is wonderful experience in the connected world full of top-tier content. You can decide how to manage your army, battle and especially time for everything this game offers.

A sprawling, epic and very ambitious journey that nevertheless requires you to like and be good at tactical games, but that rewards you handsomely the more you engage with its myriad systems.

A mature and ambitious Fire Emblem, capable of refreshing the formula with some good intuitions: it's a shame about the single save slot and a few other slip-ups.

Following in the footsteps of Three Houses, Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave features a four-protagonist structure, though it suffers from some pacing issues in the first half. Fortunately, once it overcomes those hiccups and returns to being a true Fire Emblem game, it delivers some of the best battles in the entire franchise, all set against the most spectacular and varied backdrop the series has seen to date.

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is an amalgamation of many diverse elements which add up to one rewarding adventure that's full of thoughtfully-written characters, unique challenges, and satisfying progression systems. 🔮
Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is the most ambitious entry in the series: four intertwined campaigns, some of the franchise’s best tactical battles and a massive world to explore. Pacing stumbles on the world map and the lack of Portuguese localization weighs on Brazilian players, but none of that overshadows what matters most: it is an excellent tactical RPG and one of the Nintendo Switch 2’s standout games.

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is massive, confident, and slightly indulgent, but it gets the important things right. Even though I wish it respected your time a bit more, the tactics are the series at its best, and I'd recommend it without hesitation to anyone who loved Three Houses.
Fortune’s Weave gave me exactly what I wanted from Fire Emblem: tense battles, characters I actually cared about, and a ridiculous amount of content. It can drag at times, but when it gets going, it’s hard to put down.
