Even though most characters sound good, unfortunately players will likely be tired of hearing their voice after they hear the same lines of dialogue in the camp menu. Getting to the voices, most of the characters perform well, though some characters, like Tiki, don’t fit in with the rest of the voices. Great music, consistent styles mixing both retro and new graphics, and a good amount of extras to unlock. Presentation overall is pretty good, feeling reminiscent of Hyrule Warriors. It’s a minor nitpick, but there are several moments just like this in the story.Īt least the story is fully voiced, mixing in cutscenes with images of the characters speaking to each other (like classic Fire Emblem). Later on, the real Marth shows up, but nobody questions the possibility that he could be another fake. For example, Lucina makes her first appearance dressed as Marth, and later reveals herself to the protagonists. There are definitely some cliche moments and other scenarios that might leave one scratching their head. Old conflicts, current goals and even basic logic go out the window for these characters to all work together with one common endgame. The story is pretty standard fare for a game bringing characters together from across time and space. While not in the story, characters from The Binding Blade and Fire Emblem Gaiden ( Fire Emblem Echoes) also make an appearance in the game. Unfortunately, that leaves out games like Path of Radiance, which has several fan favorite characters as well. These heroes span from Fire Emblem: Awakening, Fates, and Shadow Dragon, giving many fan favorites a time to shine. Story mode explores a narrative where twins Rowan and Lianna, heirs to the throne of Aytolis, meet with several heroes to save their kingdom. There are two main modes of the game, Story mode and History mode. This applies to all modes except for casual mode, where fallen allies will revive on the next map.
In classic mode, if a character falls in battle, it takes quite a lot of resources to revive them. It’s also dangerous to be at a disadvantage, especially if the computer controls the unit. Keeping these rules in mind is key to a victory in the more challenging battles. When players have the advantage, then they can exploit the enemy weakness with powerful bonus attacks when wearing down the opponent. While a sword could still go up against a lance, it would take significantly more time and effort to defeat the foe. It’s this little mechanic that makes it worth more to use weapon advantages. While these features are pretty standard to a Warriors title, the strategic twist helps to make it a little more interesting.įire Emblem fans will recognize the weapon triangle: swords beat axes, axes beat lances, and lances beat swords. The Awakening ability is a state of power when larger combos issue out more rewards, ending with a devastating special attack. A Warrior Special charges throughout the course of battle, which can activate a signature attack similar to critical attacks in Fire Emblem titles. All characters will form combos with light and heavy attacks, use Warrior Specials, and Awakening abilities. Aside from the ability to command other units around the map, the game is very much a hack ‘n slash. The game plays like a typical Warriors game for the most part. If a player chooses to play in classic difficulty, there is also the permadeath feature, but more on that later. These features help to make the game feel more strategic, which makes sense given the Fire Emblem inspiration. There’s even a way to command other units on the battlefield like a strategy game. Other features like the ability to pair up units, the weapon triangle, and support conversations have made their way in.
Using the visual style of games like Fire Emblem: Awakening or Fire Emblem: Fates is just the beginning.
#Fire emblem warriors switch to co op series
Utilizing the iconic strategy RPG series from the beginning and the end, it seemed to make sense to move to this series for a Warriors title.īlending elements of more recent Fire Emblem games into the Warriors franchise, it actually meshes together pretty well. Now those teams are together again, now joining with Intelligent Systems for Fire Emblem Warriors. Developed by Team Ninja and Omega Force, it was definitely an interesting idea that seemed to work out for them. The collaboration between Nintendo and Koei Tecmo spawned a fun little hack ‘n slash in the Legend of Zelda universe. It’s been three years since Hyrule Warriors released for the Wii U.
