Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes Preview: Cuts through its tactical RPG roots in this hack and slash that is surprisingly strategic

The Fire Emblem games are a series of tactical, turn-based, RPGs set in a medieval fantasy world teetering on the edge of a massive conflict.

I’ve always enjoyed the games since the GBA and 3DS titles, but 2019’s Fire Emblem: Three Houses on the Switch completely blew my mind with its gameplay, strategy and incredible cast of characters.

So I was overjoyed and a little nervous when Nintendo announced a new Fire Emblem game, those feelings were further exacerbated when I learned it was to be a Warriors game by Koei Tecmo.

This is because the Warriors spin-offs take the hack and slash fighting mechanics of the Dynasty Warrior s series and apply it to completely different series, like for example, Zelda, Persona, One Piece and of course Fire Emblem.
