Fire Emblem Warriors

Fire Emblem Warriors throws you into a crossover story where heroes from Fire Emblem Awakening, Fates and Shadow Dragon team up to fight off hordes of enemies. You've got fan favorite characters like Chrom, Corrin and Marth swinging swords, casting spells and leading armies in massive battles. The game also incorporates some Fire Emblem staples, like the weapon triangle and support conversations to keep things fresh for fans of the series.

This version is a fun, if not super deep, romp for fans of either franchise. The gameplay is classic Warriors, you're basically mashing buttons to wipe out hundreds of enemies at once, which is as satisfying as it sounds. The Fire Emblem twist, like the weapon triangle (swords beat axes, axes beat lances, lances beat swords), adds a bit of strategy, but let's be real, it's not gonna make you feel like a tactical genius. Still, it's a nice touch.

The roster is decent but it's heavy on Awakening and Fates characters, which might bum out fans of older games. Like, where's my boy Ike? Or Roy? C'mon, guys. That said, the characters they did include are fun to play and the support conversations add some personality and fanservice, even if the story itself is pretty generic «save the world» stuff.

Performance-wise, the New 3DS version holds up okay but it's clearly not the best way to play. The graphics are a bit muddy and the framerate can chug when the screen gets too crowded, and the thing is, the New 3DS is capable of way more. It's not unplayable by any means but it feels like it could've been optimized a little better. If you've got a Switch, that's definitely the better option but if the New 3DS is all you've got, it's still a solid portable hack and slash experience.

Oh, and one more thing, this game is a chonker. With all the DLCs and updates, it clocks in at around 4 gigs, making it the heaviest 3DS game out there, probably due to all the fanservice.

Greetings, valued patrons and dedicated community members, Quasartico Inc. is pleased to announce our return to regular operations following the recent digital archive incident that required specialized intervention. We are aware the previous updates were rather dramatic, in any case, we extend our sincere appreciation for your patience and fortitude during the recent digital archive situation. Regarding the status of affected archives: Sector M remains offline and will require additional restoration efforts before it can be made available to users. Sector F, however, has been successfully secured and will be fully restored within days following this update's deployment. In additional Thread news, the HYLIAN THREAD has received a structural maintenance update. While it do not include new content additions, all existing injects have been reviewed and updated where necessary. More notably, both Threads now feature remarkable technical developments worth highlighting. In the HYLIAN THREAD, the Breath of the Wild port is now playable on actual hardware (New 3DS models only) thanks to the dedicated efforts of its developer. This month's thematic focus is designated as mobile software. This category encompasses titles originally designed for portable platforms that have since been adapted or made compatible with our supported systems. In community news, we are pleased to acknowledge that our Discord server has now reached its second anniversary, mirroring the milestone achieved by this platform earlier in the year. To commemorate this occasion, we have introduced a selection of new self-assignable roles, allowing members to customize their server presence according to their interests and preferences. We invite all server members to explore these new options at their convenience. We must also address a matter of operational adjustment. Users may have noticed that weekly releases for both the Library and Theater have ceased. We acknowledge this development may be disappointing to some. However, we have determined, as we have noted since last year, that maintaining a weekly release cadence for these content verticals is not sustainable in the long term. The resource allocation required for consistent media injections has proven to significantly delay our core game release schedule which, we presume, remains the primary reason the majority of you continue to visit this platform. On a related note, our Theater contributor Zack has informed that he is currently managing an ongoing chronic health concern and has resumed academic responsibilities that require his full attention. He wishes to emphasize that he has not abandoned his work and still finds fulfillment in creating and sharing content with the community. We at Quasartico Inc. deeply value the effort Zack has consistently brought to the 3DS community in general and we fully support his need to prioritize his health and studies. An indefinite timeline has been established for his return and both updates and requests will remain on hold until such time as he is able to resume. Finally, we wish to note that this communication falls near October due to its extended deployment timeline. However, for historical accuracy, this platform has never released new content in October and this year will be no exception. No new content deployments will occur this month. We look forward to returning with actual content and our next scheduled communication in November.
