Fire Emblem: Three Houses (Nintendo Switch)

Absolutely my favourite game in the series so far. The game feels a bit too easy on normal difficulty but I haven't tried hard yet. Will be a good entry point for people new to the series. Don't worry, you don't need to play any other games to understand this one, it's standalone. The characters are well written and every one of them has depth, even if they may seem shallow on the surface. The support conversations are moving and sometimes funny. The character art is great, and whilst the graphics aren't as impressive as other switch titles, they're the best we've seen from Fire Emblem. The story is full of twists, and even though some are predictable, it's great fun, especially when your choices can impact the story. Fantastic replayability, with the three houses to choose. Theres also a 'secret' second heart-wrenching route if you choose Black Eagles, which plays quite differently to the others. The gameplay is also great. I love the addition of monsters, they add a new layer of depth to the strategy and they actually feel quite formidable. Of course a lot of maps are pretty big standard, I've also played lots of interesting and innovative maps that have really made me think. You can also greatly customise your units classes and skills, which is another part of the strategy. I expected the side activities like walking around the monastery etc to be quite trivial, but they're actually really fun. There's a lot of time between the battles (unless you choose to skip these days, whcih you can do) but I haven't been at all bored by it. 10/10, would recommend whether you're an old fan or completely new to the series.

As someone aware there is a long history to the Fire Emblem series but never having played one I can say in all honesty buy this game. If you are a fan of Nintendo and there emphasis on character and story driven games this is a must. The game-play can be as in depth of shallow as you wish allowing you to auto train and auto resolve. But the true meat of the game is getting in customising your teams progression to bring your story to an end. Each character is well presented with secrets and story's you will not be able to fully understand in just one play through. The new game + mode allows you multiple playthroughs carrying over benefits and making it easier to enjoy the story without micro managing. With three basic story routes and many minor junctions during. My first play through was just under 70 hours but I'm enjoying playing from the other perspectives.

Holy moly... This was my first introduction to the fire emblem series proper (after some fun with their Warriors version). I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was blown away. I've completed one run through and, rarely for me, will almost certainly do more to uncover more of the story. The game play has a really nice balance of intensity to adventure. The teaching and levelling up parts are enjoyable and really help you to immerse yourself in the role; a role which is central to the story's emotive core. I don't wish to spoil anything at all so I'll simply say that the way the story unfolds is fantastic, you also don't get to know and understand everything that's happening from one play (or perhaps more) and I think that's actually incredible - in life, we don't know everything, we are all left with unanswered questions (and rather than a lazy flaw, this story makes the most of that!). There are times when the story tends towards a little immaturity, which is natural to given its design and target audience, but just when you think it's a little vanilla it shows some incredible underlying depth to the characters' stories, relationships and psychology. Ultimately, the more you put in to this game the more you get out. Give everything, and you'll enjoy a fascinating story with enjoyable gameplay which ultimately reveals itself to understand the inherent tragic realism of human nature, conflict and inescapable choices. I highly recommend it, it's left me with one of my most brilliantly tragic moments in my gaming life! P.s. yes, you have to be mature to see all this but it's there!

I played black eagles. Honestly one of the best games I’ve ever played, the characters are so well written and the storyline shocked me with its twists and turns. The only possible drawback I can see for people is the fact that it’s turn based combat, but I must admit that Three Houses does it really well. The battles feel long but it’s just the matter of depth that they go in. 100% recommend if you want to be lost in a game for hours upon hours. Another note is that there are 4 routes you can take the game on. Black eagles (edelgard) blue lions (dimitri) and golden deer (claude). There’s also a hidden church route in these. this allows the player to see the events from other perspectives and enjoy the game plenty of times with twists and important aspects on other characters

Yes its interesting and immersive with intriguing plot but mehhh. Messed the characters specially main female design

Turn based strategy was more prominent in the old 3DS fire Emblem games. In this Switch game, things have changed, which takes some time to adjust. Graphics have improved immensely. I liked it but there are so many details in this game. The part of the charm with the previous games was that they were 'no frills'. Sometimes, less is more. Constantly running around and interacting with tens of characters are not the biggest appeal of the game for me.

Fire emblem one are my fav games of all time, this game has a very fluid and fun combat, you can decide to train your squad on which way youd like even if they for ex have weakness (flying) they can still learn it obv in a slower pace than others, knowing your students personalities and seeing their development as them progress is engaging, fishing and gardening are fun and i find gardening quite addictive even tho simple, i wasnt so sure about this one cuz havwnt played any similar games before, this game is quite scary at first because of the functions, but they are simple when you understand them, i put on permadeath to make me more careful about my choices but you can do casual as well, i had to restart my squad 4 times till i was happy with their (goals) cuz i was making a few mistakes, since i learned their behaviour i can restart the game with an even more strategy and engagement. amazing graphics and amazing cutscenes, replayability is immense too.

Played this on a long international flight, lots of fun. Haven’t had the time to finish it but hoping to get back to it next year. Really good game!

Excelente, bien empaquetado, sin golpes ni maltratos, original y funcional 100%

La spedizione è andata come previsto, non ci sono stati ritardi. Il pacchetto di Amazon era integro e per fortuna anche la preziosa custodia del gioco al suo interno. Ce l'ho qui con me, ancora incellofanato. Non mi esprimerò sulla qualità del titolo perché non mi compete, riguardo trama e gameplay andate da chi sa fare buone analisi (soprattutto senza quei dannati numeroni a fine recensione). Posso solo dire che il gioco mi è arrivato nuovo e con la lingua inglese sui testi della copertina, come da descrizione. Grazie mille Inghilterra, mi hai fatto risparmiare del denaro. Live long and prosper, Amazon.

I’ve never played a fire emblem game. I recently played through final fantasy tactics and have been looking for something to scratch that itch. Playing as a teacher and teaching your students and watching them progress is super fun and unique as well. If you play on classic mode when your allies die it’s permanent, you really feel the loss and care about the characters you’ve invested so much time in. I couldn’t stand to lose my units so I would reset the game and try again til I got it right. The class/progression system is so pleasing and unlocking new character classes and abilities through taking tests in the school is fun. The character and story are incredible too. This game makes me want to play earlier entries in the series, but I also worry they may fall short because of how good three houses is.

Gran juego de RPG por turnos táctico, con una buena historia y personajes memorables. En este Fire emblem ejercemos de Maestro/profesor, en donde podemos interactuar con muchos personajes para entrenarlos, reforzar amistades y conocerlos más. La jugabilidad táctica requiere estrategia y planteamiento, como en el ajedrez. El juego también tiene exploración, aunque limitada, pero bastante interactiva y con distintas actividades. También un simulador social con los numerosos personajes. Es un buen juego, y bastante rejugable, ya que consta de rutas que cambian la historia según el camino que deseemos tomar.

This is one of the best games in the switch both in gameplay and story wise + content. Disregarding the static un polished backgrounds the voice acting and the gameplay is amazing. Its complex gameplay help it differ from the old Fire Emblem games with the Battalion System and the scrapping of the Weapon Triangle, Plus the fact that every character you command can become whatever class you need them to be no longer the forced class advancement from older games. If you are considering on buying this game consider that you are spending $60 for a 80hr gameplay for just ONE house out of three it is so worth it being able to witness the return of Fire Emblem to Home Consoles.
