The game contains a Support system similar to previous installments, allowing characters to bond and increase effectiveness fighting alongside one another in battle by having conversations in the Somniel. It is used to scan Amiibo for resources, as well as unique items. The Somniel also includes a location called the Amiibo Gazebo, a returning feature from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. There are five levels of donation, with each level increasing the quality of bonuses received, such as an increasing chance of finding Gold and Silver Corrupted. Additionally, after visiting a kingdom for the first time, the player can donate gold to that kingdom, causing the player to receive bonuses. The player must also be mindful of which units they pair up to eat together, as certain units will increase their bond when they dine together. To use it, the player must collect ingredients, have a chef cook them into a meal, and pick the right units to feed that meal to. One of the social aspects of the game, unlocked after completing Chapter 6, is the dining system. Most of these are accessed at the Somniel, which is the game's main hub. The game also features social sim elements. The main rings are obtained during the main story, but additional ones can be obtained through a gacha system. The Emblem Ring system also works together with the system of classes and skills, allowing units to learn some of the skills from the ring and use them without equipping it. These items can be used to have units learn new weapon proficiencies, letting them change classes. The Emblem Rings allow units to fight alongside the lords of previous Fire Emblem games, which are powerful characters important to the story of their origin game. The game adds Emblem Rings as the main new mechanic. Upon defeat in battle, Gold Corrupted drop large amounts of gold, the game's currency, while Silver Corrupted drop a lot of experience points. Occasionally, players will encounter enemies called Gold Corrupted and Silver Corrupted. The game features some tools, like Warp, which allow units to traverse maps more easily. Like previous games, Fire Emblem Engage includes many maps, which function as the levels players must complete. If the player has not activated Casual Mode, units who are defeated in battle die permanently, and cannot be used again during that playthrough. Enemy units can also use the break system. However, instead of simply increasing damage dealt, the weapon triangle is now the center of a new break system, where attacking enemy units while having a weapon triangle advantage makes them unable to counter-attack the unit. The weapon triangle from previous games returns, where axe beats lance, lance beats sword, and sword beats axe. The stats of units affect how powerful their attacks are and how much health they have, among other things. How a unit's stats increase also depends on which individual unit it is. There are several classes that units can have, affecting how they fight and how their stats increase. The player controls a multitude of unique units, which are characters that the player can have fight in battles. The game features many battles, which are turn-based, occurring on a grid resembling a chessboard. The game received a DLC side story, or "Xenologue", on April 4, 2023, as part of its season pass, taking place in a parallel universe in which Alear had already perished fighting Sombron.įurther information: Fire Emblem § Gameplay Battles
Its social sim elements were also compared unfavorably due to their emphasis on solo activities. Its gameplay innovations, score, and visuals were praised, but reviewers felt that its story, characters and worldbuilding were lackluster and unmemorable in comparison. While Fire Emblem Engage received generally positive reviews from critics, it was not as well-received as its predecessor, Fire Emblem: Three Houses. A significant change from previous installments is the introduction of the Engage system, which allows characters to equip magic rings imbued with copies of past Fire Emblem lords, becoming temporarily empowered with their abilities. The game follows Alear, a dragon in human form who awakens from a thousand-year slumber, and is soon attacked by the Kingdom of Elusia, who worship the Fell Dragon Sombron, and his Corrupted undead forces, which seek to destroy the continent of Elyos. The seventeenth installment in the Fire Emblem series, it was released worldwide on January 20, 2023. Fire Emblem Engage is a tactical role-playing game developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch.
