Hands-On: Fire Emblem Engage's opening hours are heavy on fan service, but light on challenge.
Fire Emblem Engage’s opening hours are heavy on fan service, but light on challenge
And from what we’ve played so far, we’re enjoying it, even though it’s a bit simple and slow-going to begin with, and the narrative is leaning heavily on a parade of cameos. The game does at least try to balance telling you why these old characters are important with the task at hand, although it’s not entirely graceful. Fire Emblem Engage is a strategy game wherein you direct a party of characters to attack enemies on the field, while progressing toward a more powerful enemy at the end of the stage.
On the off chance you do get stuck, or you lose one of your party members in using the perma-death option, it’s possible to reverse time in order to play out a turn differently. Since the AI never sets a strategic trap in the early game that can’t be undone by running a character to the other side of the screen, we found ourselves using it only once in the opening 8 chapters, mainly due to a lack of concentration which meant we healed the wrong character, rather than a particularly feisty foe.
It’s probably a good thing that the battles are so simple the in the first chapters because the game is throwing so much lore and so many characters at you that anything else would feel overwhelming. There are far too many characters introduced, as the game seems to forget at times that not everyone playing Fire Emblem Engage has Wikipedia open on their phone.
