Fire Emblem Engagethe latest game in the long-running strategy RPG franchise, launched today for the Nintendo Switch.
Once every 1,000 years, legendary heroes called Emblems grant incredible power to whoever holds the 12 emblem rings. As the ritual approaches, Alear – the Divine Dragon – awakens to take the rings and bring peace to the land. However, the Fell Dragon Sombron has also risen and is seeking the rings for his own evil gain. Only Alear and those loyal to the Divine Dragon stand between Sombron and total destruction…
Players will command the Divine Dragon army through turn-based battles across the continent of Elyos. Each battle is different, requiring its own strategy and approach based on each unit’s strengths and weaknesses. Using the weapon triangle is key to winning battles as each type of weapon has an advantage over the other. In addition, both heroes and enemy troops using special skills will gain an advantage over opponents with bows, tomes, and knives.
It’s important to plan your attacks carefully when you command each hero with their own moves and weapons while using the terrain, positioning and unique talents of the heroes to defeat the enemy on the online battlefield. It is also possible to collect emblem rings and use them in battle to summon legendary emblem heroes such as Marth and Sigurd. Emblems provide their skills and powers in battle and share their abilities with characters once the bond between them becomes strong enough.
In addition, players can customize their experience with a variety of difficulty options and game modes suited to all skill levels. Normal, Hard and Maddening difficulties await while those looking for a more relaxed experience can even use Auto-Battle to fight for them. Additionally, in Casual Mode fallen allies are revived after battle while they will be lost forever when using Classic Mode. If the player makes a huge mistake in combat, they can use the Draconic Time Crystal to rewind and try again, regardless of the chosen method.
The Fire Emblem Engage Expansion Pass, which includes four DLC packs that will be added over time, is also available at launch. The first DLC pack is planned to coincide with the game’s release and will include additional emblems, new accessories and more.
