'Fire Emblem Warriors' features fun gameplay, but falls flat in storytelling

by Evan Hatfield of the Ball State Daily News This review is based on the Nintendo Switch version of Fire Emblem Warriors. Nintendo’s Fire Emblem series has had a remarkable few years, to say the least. At the start of the decade, it seemed the end was near for what amounted at the time to a tertiary title in Nintendo’s lineup of franchises. Seven years later, it’s an entirely different story: between a range of great 3DS games and a successful move into mobile gaming, the series is more popular than ever. The mere existence of the new spin-off Fire Emblem Warriors goes some way toward proving that. It's not the best spin-off game ever, but that doesn't stop it from giving gamers a good time anyway.
