Fire Emblem: Three Hopes is an intriguing and addicting alternative take on the story and characters of 2019's popular strategy RPG, with engaging gameplay and plenty of replay value.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses was a massively popular and successful game in a massively popular and successful series. Generally, I consider myself a Fire Emblem fan. I liked Shadow Dragon, LOVED Awakening, enjoyed Shadows of Valentia, and beat all three of the Fates games. For some reason though, Three Houses never clicked with me. To be fair, it did release alongside games I was very excited for, so it was overshadowed for me a bit. Ultimately, I only played some of it and never found found ti...

Koei Tecmo's Omega Force studio once again links up with Nintendo's Fire Emblem. Full utilisation of the depth available in the gameplay and a host of fun new character interactions make the second crossover a success.

Koei Tecmo has jammed Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes with as many elements from Three Houses that they could shove in. There's a level of comfort in that, but if Byleth's "school days" stuff put you off earlier, it’ll also put you off here.Read More

It’s so easy to recommend Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes to not only fans of Fire Emblem, but also those simply seeking a high-octane action game. And if you also happen to enjoy politically-charged stories, you’ll absolutely fall in love with it. This is, without a doubt, one of the best Warriors games yet, taking strategy elements of the Fire Emblem series to embellish the gameplay in all the right ways. And the masterstroke is that, despite being set in the same world as Fire Emblem: Three Houses, its narrative cleverly makes playing that title an option rather than a necessity.

At the end of the day, Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes met my expectations, though after the stellar first impression from its demo covering the first four chapters I did make the mistake of hoping for more. The sheer scale and depth of this game’s commitment to matching Three Houses’ style and structure made for a very pleasant surprise that sadly made it even more disappointing when the ending fell as flat as it did. Almost overnight I went from not being able to get enough of the game to wondering if I had it in me to play even one more of the game’s three story routes. Three Hopes…

Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes feels tailor made for the relatively small cross-section of people who are both hardcore fans of Musou and Fire Emblem. That isn't to say you won't enjoy this if you liked Three Houses, there's a lot that Three Hopes has to offer on a first playthrough, just be ready for the repetition to set in if you want to see it all through to the end.

Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is certainly a better go-around that the previous effort by Omega Force. While it adapts the Three Houses storyline in an alternative way, with great results of borrowing a lot of key systems, the lack of variety in the mission objectives, reused locations, and disa
