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.
