TierraGamer
The breakthrough mechanisms are something really fresh and good for the series.
The main mechanics are a perfect addition to the plot and gameplay.
The difficulty levels are really balanced? depending on the complexity you want the game to become.
The new graphic design assembles the game perfectly.
The redesign to the classic levels of the previous episodes is very well done.
The open world system has not yet materialized.
The story is somewhat predictable.
The mini-games are totally forgettable.

A nice art direction
Endearing companions

A gameplay still as effective with its small batch of pleasant novelties.
 We would have appreciated more features in Somniel to fully enjoy the place (the base camp has a crazy potential)
No big script twists that could have surprised.

Tom’s Hardware (it)
A gameplay softened by the excessive pitfalls of the previous chapter.
The emblems offer ingenious and well-implemented game mechanics.
Battlefield level design of excellent finish.
The attention paid to accessibility to titles of this type is always commendable.
Story less convincing than the other chapters of the series.
Fan service is never excessive, but on closer inspection, it can be simply futile.
Customization has less and less impact as the adventure progresses.
Good optimization but it feels like the Nintendo Switch hardware has come to an end.

Emblems (characters) from Fire Emblem games past join you here
A paired back approach to design keeps things streamlined with tactical battle the key part of the game
Lots of micro-management for the best support options heading into battle give you control
Rewind time function returns
Some pretty funny moments help break up the straightforward good vs evil setup
Super-challenging and really rewarding combat and tactical play
JRPG tropeville, often to its detriment
The Somniel could have done with a bit more 'oomph' in what it offers and how it comes alive
Character design felt a step backwards
More political intrigue wouldn't have gone astray to divide the main path a bit more

A pleasant scenario on the length, epic at times? A cast of endearing, albeit clichéd characters Thrilling clashes, putting our tactical sense to the test A wide variety of cards The mechanics of the Emblems, brilliantly implemented Somniel, a well-designed and charming hub A very good lifespan Shimmering graphics

Visuals are incredible
Emblem Rings are a neat addition
The story is predictable at best, nonsensical at worst
Some battles drag on ad nauseam

Checkpoint Gaming
New depth to some classic mechanics is great
Spectacular graphical detail on characters, animation, and environment
Good variety of battle maps
Completely tedious, predictable, by-the-numbers story
Emblem heroes are devoid of personality
Generic anime art style lacks flavour

... but presents ideas and dialogues worthy of attention
Beautiful "Union" mechanics, futuristic design
Presence of interesting new ideas to manage combat
The narrative sector can be "simple" and focuses excessively on Alear...
Almost all activities present in Somniel must be reviewed absolutely
The Tower of Trials deserved additional support
Very wide level design. Makes areas "bare" and visually unpleasant

Console Creatures
Great story
The artistic direction is exceptional
Battles are often intense and fun to play
Emblems are a great addition to the formula
Alear having his own narrative makes the game more immersive
Might lack a bit of social simulation for those who loved this part in Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Multiplayer.it
Probably the best gameplay side of Fire Emblem
The default difficulty is difficult, but never frustrating
Long lasting, varied and beautiful to see
The story is trivial and some dialogues are terrible
The Somniel could have been better designed
The allocation of resources is not very well calculated
