The malleable quality of Fire Emblem's weapons-triangle and pairing systems make them a natural fit for the hack n' slash genre. Even when I could barely tell what was going on on the crowded battlefield and my troops were a little too codependent, I enjoyed directing the action and jumping in to be part of the carnage. And while Fire Emblem Warriors makes poor use of the Fire Emblem universe's story and history, we still get traces of the relationships between the characters that make it memorable.

A harmonious meeting of two traditions, Fire Emblem Warriors explores a different, yet no less beguiling, type of battlefield strategy.

Fire Emblem has the potential to make a great partner, but this badly made and painfully simplistic crossover is as disappointingly dumb as all the other Dynasty Warriors games.

Fire Emblem Warriors manages to stay consistently entertaining despite pacing issues and an uneven balance between action and strategy

Don't let Fire Emblem Warriors get lost among the many Switch releases

Fire Emblem's heroes are a natural fit for a Warriors game, but their world adds little depth to the aging and shallow hack-and-slash series.

Fire Emblem Warriors lacks charm but compensates with spectacle.

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 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.

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. Even though its story is a little bit dull, de Chronicles mode offers lots of objectives and battles that last hours and hours.

This is the fifth musou game we received this year (after Berserk, Dragon Quest Heroes II, Warriors All Stars and Samurai Warriors Spirit of Sanada) and still we enjoyed its massive combats and RPG elements. Technical elements fall short compared to most Switch games.

Like its Hyrulean brethren, Fire Emblem Warriors is a joyous action packed romp through hordes of faceless enemies in the company of some well-loved characters and all the trappings of a Fire Emblem game. It's not going to convince anyone who's unsure about the well-worn Warriors template, and it's far from being a technical showcase for the Switch, but it is raw, unadulterated fun packed with bags of fan service.

If you hate the musou games, Fire Emblem Warriors will hardly make you change your mind about the genre, but for everyone else it's a strongly recommended game thanks to its tactical and strategic elements.

A nice entry for the musou games but not its deepest iteration, nor is as profound as any other Fire Emblem title.

While the 3DS hardware doesn't measure up to the Switch, Fire Emblem Warriors provides the same experience regardless of format.

Not just a great game to bear the Fire Emblem name but also one of the best Warriors games out there.

There's a bit more to this improbable crossover than just Fire Emblem heroes dropped into a hack and slash frenzy

Fire Emblem Warriors is a very fun game marred by a only few issues, some of which were probably unavoidable. The basic hack-and-slash gameplay is as solid and polished as any Warriors game, and the new innovations based on the Fire Emblem series add a lot. The game honestly feels like Fire Emblem almost as much as it feels like a Warriors game. If you're a classic Fire Emblem fan like me, don't let the roster keep you from buying the game. If you like Dynasty Warriors but don't know Fire Emblem, there's still plenty to enjoy here.
