Fire Emblem Warriors (2017)
Marking the first Fire Emblem title on the Switch, Fire Emblem Warriors is a thrilling crossover with the Dynasty Warriors series. It masterfully combines Fire Emblem’s strategic team-based gameplay with the fast-paced, action-packed combat of Dynasty Warriors. While the narrative is lighter, this spinoff is a must-play for fans of action games. Developed by Omega Force in collaboration with Team Ninja, it’s a testament to the versatility of the Fire Emblem universe.

This expansive tactical RPG intertwines grand-scale battles with intimate moments, exploring themes of politics and religion amidst a continental war. Between battles, players can immerse themselves in the monastery, engaging in training, teaching, and deepening bonds with characters through rich, compelling dialogue.
