Fire Emblem Engage was launched for Nintendo Switch very recently. It is very telling that the game is actually earning a lot of praise from anyone who is playing it. There are a number of reasons behind that. The biggest is Nintendo’s dedication to primarily providing players with a game that is actually worth playing.
This game has a mix of numerous new and old ideas. The developers have also tried their best to make it more approachable than most games in the series.
Other than making this game approachable for new players, it appears Nintendo plans to do one more thing to attract new players to this game.
