Fire Emblem Warriors Reviews
There's something that just feels right about playing Fire Emblem Warriors on 3DS, and as the spiritual home of the Fire Emblem in recent years, it's nice to be able to indulge in some serious hack and slash action in this universe before the franchise moves on to pastures new.
With the power to pick up the Switch tablet and storm through History on the go, Fire Emblem Warriors is still going to get some play in my house despite its issues. It follows a set formula with very little in the way of risk-taking, but so long as you can stomach the idea of warring kingdoms with very little at stake other than your level-up bar, it'll probably delight you too. With some DLC meat on these bones it'll likely be a long, wild ride.
Fire Emblem Warriors is one of the best designed musou games of the recent years thanks to its strategy touch, which is great for this genre. If you are thinking about buying this version of the game, go ahead if you don't own a Nintendo Switch, because you will not be disappointed.

There's a bit more to this improbable crossover than just Fire Emblem heroes dropped into a hack and slash frenzy
I found the handheld mode to be done very well, performing (to the naked eye) almost equally to the docked performance
Fire Emblem Warriors may lack of variation, and the gameplay can be a bit repetitive – but overall it's a great successor to Hyrule Warriors.

Despite all the complaints though, I can't help but recommend Fire Emblem Warriors to Warriors fans. If you enjoyed Hyrule Warriors, you'll enjoy this just as much, and if you're not really a Warriors fan, then this probably won't convince you, even if you adore Fire Emblem.
Depending on what you're aiming to get out of it, Fire Emblem Warriors is either a very good game or a bore, although either way perhaps not quite justifiable for its price point during the busiest release period of the year.
Fire Emblem Warriors on 3DS isn't a bad experience at all, but any gamer with the option of purchasing the Switch version instead would be foolish to pick this up. The lower character count, vastly downgraded graphics and less ergonomic design of the 3DS all factor together to make this a less-worthwhile version of a game that only dedicated Fire Emblem or Dynasty Warriors fans should buy, even in its best state.
Fire Emblem Warriors continues the excellent port of Nintendo's franchises into the world of musou. The little additives from the franchise translate well into the genre. The art style is outstanding and the combat is just as fun (if not repetitive) as it has always been. This is another solid entry for Nintendo's latest machine.
Fire Emblem Warriors could've been much better if the script writers tried to create an interesting story and worked on characters more. But even so this is one of the best games in Warriors series with great graphics, atmospheric music and spectacular battles. Beautiful animations of special attacks and bright combos will please fans of the genre. If you liked Hyrule Warriors and Samurai Warriors 4, then you should pay attention to this game.

As it stands, it's a nice tribute to the series and does Fire Emblem's mechanics justice be putting them in a shallow, effective action game shell. Fire Emblem fans will like it, especially recent fans who dig the 3DS games.
Fire Emblem Warriors is superb. It successfully translates the beloved RPG series without sacrificing any elements for which I have adored the series. With countless characters, a robust upgrade system and plenty of modes on offer, you'll sink hours into this stylish hack ‘n' slasher without even knowing it.
Fire Emblem Warriors has plenty to offer the players: an enormous amount of content and characters, especially among its post-campaign unlockables, a magnificent soundtrack and a fitting adaptation of the Fire Emblem series. While it is very competent at what it does, Fire Emblem Warriors could certainly use some of Nintendo's 'quality over quantity', as it feels like the characters could benefit from some variety but this is still a very competent and enjoyable proposal.

Fire Emblem Warriors does a better job of blending two disparate series than Hyrule Warriors did. Fire Emblem's ethos remains intact, perfectly accentuating, and enhancing Warrior's' patented hack-and-slash gameplay.
Wonderful fusion of Musou and Fire Emblem, that is superbly balanced and very extensive.

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.
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...

Fire Emblem Warriors isn't an amazing game, but is a successful and enjoyable merging of two franchises that naturally fit together.
