Finally starting to hit the burnout point at chapter 21. The gameplay is still great, but it feels like I've settled into the same routine with each battle, and I kinda just want the game to be over. Still powering through Hard mode with only a few more chapters to go, hopefully.

Still going strong on Hard (Chapter 16), but I've had to sacrifice some units along the way to proceed. I feel like an idiot for judging this game so harshly before I played it. This gameplay is fantastic and it's remained consistently fun throughout. Would have easily made it into my top games of 2023 had I checked it out …

This gameplay is fantastic and it's remained consistently fun throughout. Would have easily made it into my top games of 2023 had I checked it out back then.

12 hours in and I still can't remember any of my unit's names. Right now my names for them include "pretty prince," "old guy," "princess in a ridiculous dress," "archer girl" and "girl with stars in hair."

Also, hit my first major roadblock on Hard mode in Chapter 10. Let's see if I can overcome it without letting any of my units die, or if I wuss out and go to Normal.

On first impression, I'm very pleasantly surprised by this game. Yeah, the story is extremely generic, the dialogue is 98% fluff and the characters are beyond annoying, but the gameplay is a really clean refinement of the classic Fire Emblems. That's kinda refreshing after how experimental Three Houses was with the formula. We'll see if it can keep my …

Thoroughly fun from start to finish. Don't worry about selecting the best teams others recommend. Go with characters you enjoy and tailor them to your tastes. I had an absolute blast with this one.

Finally found a used copy of Engage to give it a try. I skipped this originally because I kind of despise the character designs and hearing that it has gacha elements didn't inspire much excitement. But it's Fire Emblem, and I loved Three Houses, so here we go.

Fun game. Pretty much a roller coaster of quality though. The characters and mechanics kind of grew on me, but the low movement is rough. Map design was consistently pretty great in my opinion.

I just finished Chapter 20 and jeez, did they really have to copy over nearly all of the major plot beats from Awakening while executing each one worse? It's kind of absurd just how similar the stories and world are, even as someone that loves Awakening to death.

The story and characters are like a parody of the most obnoxious fire emblem anime tropes. Putting that aside, it's still one of the better Fire Emblem games and contains a surprising amount of strategic depth, though it took me awhile to come around to the emblem ring system and see the full picture.
