Fire Emblem Engage is amazing and a wonderful way for Nintendo to kick off 2023.
Between various novelties and improvements, the combat system of Fire Emblem Engage is perfectly smooth and exciting. Not all the campaign is full of twists and the shadow of socialization at all costs could make the most surly digital generals nervous, but overall Fire Emblem Engage is a recommended chapter.

One of the best fire emblem games in along time! Way better than three houses which I found to be awful!

Fire Emblem Engage is a mix of steps forward and back. On a gameplay level, it's pretty much the absolute best the franchise has ever been, with excellent level design, great new gimmicks and features, and a customization system that offers a ton of depth. The storyline feels too much like standard Fire Emblem to stand out, and the side content that isn't focused on combat feels tacked-on. It's still a delightful game to play, and despite my nitpicks, I had a fantastic time. Fire Emblem fans will find a lot to enjoy, even if the story might not be to their tastes.
Fire Emblem Engage is a more single-minded entry in the series than we’ve seen in a while. A lot of the things people may have loved about Three Houses don’t return here, and the battles are left to carry the load. The more focused design is by choice and I respect that, but it didn’t mean the characters and story had to be as diminished as they are. It’s fortunate that the battle mechanics ratchet things up this time, with the new Emblem system and the returning weapon triangle adding compelling strategic layers. Fans of the tactical aspect at the core of Fire Emblem will find a lot to like, but it’s a shame that the overall package isn’t as strong.
Without ever completely abandoning the franchise's defining elements, Fire Emblem Engage leaves behind Three Houses' web of friendships and relationships to focus on the battlefield. The result is a somewhat uninspired story and an absolutely brilliant, fluid and extremely engaging combat system capable of being both accessible for beginners and profound for fans of 'min-maxing.'
Engage plays confidently and is a highly enjoyable game when you're thrust into battle, the small innovations pushing the strategy and combat into new territory for the series. But it's held back by bland storytelling that fails to provoke much emotion or convey a sense of drive as you canter towards the next destination on the world map. It's a solid Fire Emblem, but lacks the lasting impact to rank as a classic.
Fire Emblem Engage resurrects the weapon triangle to great effect, making the turn-based combat feel like a game of death and dares, while an unmemorable cast of characters and an unexplored world sadly drag behind it.
This game is an hidden masterpiece: if the player completes the game on the difficulty of their desire: the tactical gameplay is the best in the SPRG genre.
I spent 240 hours tinkering around with different strategies, the music in this game that accompanies the combat is very pretty and suits perfectly for hours of mind-full strategies.
Overall this game is my third favourite JRPG on Switch after Fire Emblem Three Houses and Xenoblade 2&3.
Fe engage, is a pure example of strategies meeting the JRPG genre.
the result: a masterpiece, don't be put of from negative reviews of this game, as with Xenoblade 2, it has its haters; mainly due to the so called Japanophile-arch types of these games.
Fire Emblem Engage is my own GOTY for 2023.
As a huge Fire Emblem fan, I bought the limited edition version of the game and I was impressed by the high quality workmanship.

It was decent, I just couldn't fall in love with the characters such as I did with Three Houses

One Step Forward and Two Steps Back encapsulates my overall feelings about this game as a new entry in the series. There is a great improvement in general gameplay and graphics but some regression in terms of overall character writing and storytelling. As a tactics/strategy game, it has a good level of challenge at higher difficulties; however, the lack of a compelling story and cast somewhat dampened the experience a tad.

So much disappointing after Three Houses, and Three Hopes. Please, make a Fire Emblem game with good story, lore, and characters, just like the prev one, and I will definitely love this franchise!
