While this mode unlocks early, I found it a little difficult to advance in with my limited character choices and their levels, so it seems like something that's better to play once you've completed the Story Mode and unlocked a better variety of characters. There are also more varied map objectives than what I've seen so far in Story Mode, so it seems great for a change of pace.

You work your way through a map that pulls inspiration from big moments in mainline Fire Emblem titles and work through a series of battles to complete them. I was not able to delve too deeply into this Mode for the preview, but it seems very similar to Hyrule Warriors' Adventure Mode. This is very good, as there are a lot of Fire Emblem mainstay mechanics that are implemented in unique ways in Fire Emblem Warriors, so it takes a bit of getting used to.Īfter completing Chapter 5 in Story Mode, you'll unlock the first scenario of History Mode. However, the first few chapters take things slowly, so you can work through the mountains of guides Fire Emblem Warriors throws at you and have a chance to fully understand the mechanics before the game ramps up the difficulty. Story Mode throws a lot of its mechanics at you in the first couple of chapters, and I found it a bit overwhelming for a bit. You can change from Classic to Casual Mode (characters revive at the end of a chapter), but once you go Casual, you can't go back. This isn't a big deal at the beginning of the game provided you don't make a silly move like I did. If a character is killed in a chapter in Classic Mode, they aren't revived at the end of the battle-instead, you have to pay to revive them at the Temple. This brings me to a very important mechanic, and that's the game's "permadeath" if you choose Classic Mode. Even though this is a Musou inspired title, you still have to employ some strategy to emerge victorious.
I learned this the hard way when I sent Frederick to fight a mage fort, and he very promptly got killed. That involves more than just the triangle we all know and love Pegasus Knights are still weak to archers, those with low magic resistance shouldn't fight mages, and so on.
Fighting at a disadvantage is tedious at best, and downright deadly at worst.

The weapon triangle and other factors are also majorly important in Fire Emblem Warriors, just like the main series. It's important to have your party members handle different objectives, because if not then it'll take forever to take over forts and complete the stage. Each of these members works independently (unless you pair them up), and you can switch between them by using the D-Pad. Instead, you'll be picking a party of four to work through each Story Mode stage. They aren't alone, however, as rifts have opened up to other worlds, and some familiar faces from series are here to help.ĭue to the nature of the plot, Fire Emblem Warriors doesn't work like many Musou games, where you pick a character and work through their story. Story Mode goes through the tale of the twins of Aytolis, and how they have to defend their kingdom and world against the Chaos Dragon.
This is Fire Emblem Warriors' main attraction, where you'll go about unlocking characters and maps for History Mode. The two series seem mismatched for each other, but judging by what I've been able to play so far, Fire Emblem Warriors meshes the two together very well and promises to be a great title for Fire Emblem fans.įor this preview, I got to try the first few chapters of the Story Mode. A lot of Musou titles, on the other hand, has you cutting down swathes of enemies with ease, rushing about and quickly cutting down foes to finish the stage. Being strategy RPGs, Fire Emblem games are slow, methodic, and require strategy to survive. Fire Emblem Warriors isn't exactly the game I expected from the series.
