Fire Emblem Warriors Reviews
Fire Emblem Warriors follows along the vein of Hyrule Warriors, featuring characters from all throughout the franchise.
Fire Emblem Warriors pays tribute to the most recent 3DS titles that helped the series take off in recent years.
Fire Emblem Warriors is surely the best musou to grace a console in the last years: the strategic elements taken from the Fire Emblem franchise deepen its gameplay, making it attractive even to non-musou fans.

The marriage between the Warriors and Fire Emblem franchises has yielded one of the deepest and most engaging games the Warriors series has done to date.
Despite the silly and over-the-top story, Fire Emblem Warriors takes aspects from both respective series and breathes new life into them – the elements of the Warriors series make perfect sense in the Fire Emblem world, and the features and mainstays of the Fire Emblem series bring a new depth to the Warriors franchise. While some may be put off by the fact that the game can be overly helpful, this is adjustable, and ultimately a really good addition to the musou game genre. A real gem for both Warriors and Fire Emblem fans alike.
Fire Emblem Warriors is in no way a bad game, in fact it is a fair amount of fun, but as someone who has enjoyed both franchises previously I cannot understand who this game was aimed at or even why it came into existence. Preceding Warriors games have performed better and I can’t imagine anyone who is a fan of the Fire Emblem series will find much of what they love about the previous instalments. Fire Emblem Warriors is inoffensive at best and forgettable at worst and will have drifted from the combined consciousness of gamers in the near future
Fire Emblem Warriors is the scheduled consequence of Hyrule Warriors; a sword-friendly Nintendo treasure paired with Omega Force's quantitatively indisputable knack for mowing down thousands of bad guys in the pursuit of an even worse guy. Somehow, in spite of the presumed absence of inspiration, Fire Emblem Warriors remains engaging. It will always be fun to destroy perpetuating hoards with only a modest commitment from your mind.
Fire Emblem Warriors proves that with the right team, any kind of genre is befitting. With true loyalty to what the franchise is, plenty of characters to be, and lots of enemies to fight, this is one game you shouldn't pass up.
Fire Emblem Warriors will be a great spin-off title for fans of the modern Fire Emblem games, with solid gameplay to boot.
For better or worse, Fire Emblem Warriors is another Musou game that only distincts itself by the addition of many elements from the FE series that surprisingly adapt really good to the concept of the genre. Fans of the franchise would get delighted with it; those that aren't, not so much.

Fire Emblem Warriors on the New Nintendo 3DS attempts to recreate the experience that can be found on the Nintendo Switch and while its main objectives are fulfilled, there are several elements which inevitably fell behind. The lack of a cooperative mode is difficult to understand and technically, there are many details that feel very much downgraded. While overall the experience is mostly the same, these differences shouldn't be entirely ruled out when it comes to making a decision.

Fire Emblem Warriors is the near-perfect mix of two beloved franchises, taking the best of each to create one solid gaming experience on Nintendo's newest hardware.
While the Dynasty Warriors style of gameplay appropriately sits front and center in Fire Emblem Warriors, the lack of genre melding with an RPG is disappointing. Players will enter into each battle with plenty of chances to smash buttons and oggle at Fire Emblem characters destroying one another, but the heart of the tactical RPG franchise doesn't make a proper appearance. Too bad, too, because this might have been a wasted opportunity to really experiment with the musou genre.
Putting all of this into perspective, Fire Emblem Warriors isn't for every Fire Emblem fan. More specifically, it's a terrific crossover for those who've enjoyed the modern releases, but much less so for fans who might have been hoping to be reacquainted or properly introduced to the old heroes of yore.
Fire Emblem and Dynasty Warriors come together in a game that ties tactics to crowd control.
Fire Emblem Warriors isn't an amazing game, but is a successful and enjoyable merging of two franchises that naturally fit together.
Fire Emblem Warriors is a pleasant hybrid of pure Mus' action and tactics elements borrowed from the Intelligent Systems' series. It has a lot to offer to hack'n'slash fans and it feels like it should inspire future Dynasty Warriors games...

Ultimately, this is a Warriors game through and through and your mileage will vary depending on your love or lack thereof for the series. If you're a Fire Emblem fan but consider the Warriors series' brand of hack-and-slash action to be mindless and repetitive, this won't be the game for you. If you love the Warriors series, however, and also have an affinity for Fire Emblem characters, this will be a match made in heaven.
I found immense enjoyment in watching some of my favorite Fire Emblem characters fight hordes of foes in 3D, as it something we have never really gotten with the series before. While the game is let down a bit by mediocre AI and underwhelming voice acting and story, Fire Emblem Warriors delivers with enjoyable gameplay that blends mechanics from both Fire Emblem and Warriors games into something unique and unlike anything else on the Nintendo Switch. I hope Koei Tecmo continue this collaboration with Nintendo, either on sequels to Fire Emblem and Hyrule Warriors, or another IP like Xenoblade.
Wonderful fusion of Musou and Fire Emblem, that is superbly balanced and very extensive.
