The class system is in, with a wide variety of strategies to tackle. There’s so much to tackle with this game, it’s almost impossible to convey how much there is to do without getting too long-winded.

The narrative picks up with Shez (the new main character) meeting the members of the three titular houses, allowing you to once again choose your allegiance. Once again, you’ll be able to see how your favorite (or most-hated) characters end up, and revel in their success or failure.īut it’s also totally fine to come in completely blind.
Given that this is an alternate timeline where you’re controlling a mysterious mercenary named Shez and fighting against the prior protagonist of Byleth, it inherently has a lot of fan service and some alt-history type stuff to gasp at and enjoy. If you’re coming in having played the strategy-minded mainline Three Houses, you’re definitely going to get more out of it.

A few chapters in, the game really starts to take shape, and I was hooked. But then another five foundational mechanics came into play.
Some of the more rote elements of the Warriors formula shined through the brightest at the start, and during the prologue, before most of the systems come into play, it wasn’t grabbing me as much as I’d hoped. My review process with Three Hopes was a bit of a rollercoaster.Īt first, I was worried. Now, with Three Hopes, it is the master.įire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes ( Nintendo Switch) When we last left Fire Emblem Warriors, it was but the learner.
