Different… But In a Good Way
Haii everyone!! This is my short but sweet review on Shadows!! As many fans of the Fire Emblem franchise may know this game isn’t your typical turn-based rpg. But as mentioned in the title this game still lives up to the hype. Similar to past Fire Emblem entries this game still requires strategy. One wrong move and you might have cost yourself the match! Why you may say? Well this game heavily relies on time management, positioning, and predictability. If you’re playing on the Light side you’ll have the chance to work with a teammate. You and that teammate MUST bounce off one-another to defeat the Shadow. If you two aren’t timing your attacks in a way that allows you to consecutively deal damage while simultaneously defending yourselves by predicting the Shadows actions then you won’t make it. The Shadow side plays a bit similar but instead of a teammate you have NPCs. Though these npcs may seem weak and a bit stupid they’re what you need to win. Playing the Shadow requires a lot more positioning than the Light due to the lack of teleportation and a live teammate. To make full use of your npcs you must use them to trap, overwhelm, and trick your opponents into your attacks. Both sides can be incredibly fun but I personally prefer the Shadow side. Seeing my character reveal themselves to be the enemy is always a hype experience. Whoever’s reading this I’m sure you’ll enjoy it too! Along with the fun strategic combat the game has a unique story, cute characters, and your typical Fire Emblem level system. Additionally there’s a shop where you can BUY and SELL items to other players. It brings the community together imo. Giving your friend a busted sword for cheap is always nice… As long no one buys the sword before your friend does lol. You’ll see what I mean when you play. I hope you enjoyed my review! One last thing! Two things actually… First. Kurt is my fav character. I love him so much. He’s so cute. I’m sure you’ll agree once you meet him! Two. I’d love to see more Shadows content! I can’t wait for their addition to FE Heroes. And I hope one day we receive a traditional FE game with some of the Shadow characters!

It’s ok but…
So I got this game because I started liking fire emblem after playing one of the demos on my switch
And it’s a decent game but why are most of the characters locked behind paywalls
And my Nintendo account wouldn’t link despite redownloading the game data and powering off my phone for like 6 or 7 hours it still wouldn’t link

Could have been better
Love the original stuff, this was different, played it for a day and didn’t like how it was and I’m a fan of FE games. Kinda of a let down

This ain’t fire emblem
Yeah, I tried it, not really a fire emblem game at all, and characters seem pretty weird. I’d even prefer to play Sword of Convallaria or FE Heroes, for the fire emblem type gameplay. But, if you like this genre, go nuts, it’s probably a great game on that viewpoint. Personally, 3 stars.
IFI play FE
(Kind of) mid game
Honestly it’s worse than fire emblem heroes (in my opinion). The stages are always the same, and there’s no special rounds. Also, why are the characters keminomimis for some reason? I get it that the game isnt a full year out of release yet. The story is kind of boring too…just a few dialogue and Thats it. How did this game get three books in less than a year, yet is takes a year for one book to fully happen in fe heroes? The only fun part is getting disciples (and no gacha). However, I will still play this game in case of better updates.
