Fire Emblem Engage brings the always entertaining tactical Fire Emblem franchise back to its roots, with a more classic play style that hearkens back to previous installments while bringing in both popular characters and side features from past games. While the 2019 smash hit Fire Emblem: Three Houses back in 2019 heavily deviated from many traditional Fire Emblem mechanics, Fire Emblem Engage brings the franchise back to its roots, although it does not totally ignore the improvements that made Three Houses so popular. While Three House’s game time was almost evenly split between tactical combat and a time management system that focused on raising attributes to recruit additional characters, Fire Emblem Engage is more combat focused. In addition to greatly expanding the character interactions, Fire Emblem: Three Houses also did away with classic systems like the Weapon Triangle and introduced other elements like Combat Arts and weapon degradation. In Fire Emblem Engage, the Weapon Triangle returns with some new twists.
