Characterization: 5/10 The characterization of this game was what I was most disappointed in, as Three Houses has shown us how good it could potentially be. Instead we traverse through countries in one or two steps, going from castle to border to castle again, rushing to meet the next bland, predictable, story beat. We spend very little time exploring the potentially interesting landscape, hopping from town to town or various locations of interest like in many previous titles. After all, how much higher can you take a character who starts of the the literal god of the land? Lastly, the worldbuilding was poorly done and the world itself feels very small, despite spanning an entire continent with four theoretically interesting countries. This makes it so that most character interactions take a similar course and our character sees very little development throughout the game. On top of all that, instead of starting the story as an amnesiac tactician, a boy from Ram village, or other similarly mundane roles, you start of the game playing as the divine dragon, worshipped by everyone across the continent. The overall story plays out almost exactly as you would expect it to from minute one you can tell as soon as you meet them which characters will die and how it will advance the plot. To put it a little less nicely, the story is a mess of poor writing, undeserved character moments, clichés, and dialogue that somehow manages to drag on for too long while providing no content. Story: 4/10 To put it nicely, the story is uninspired. Additionally, gameplay balance is somewhat lopsided making some classes are miles better than other and some units completely overshadowed by others that are introduced just one chapter later.

What's keeping Engage from getting a full 10/10 in this category from me is that I'm not a huge fan of the new primary class system locking units to only one weapon type in their base class, and although emblems can make up for that fact it was very confusing trying to figure out exactly how proficiency and the weapon system works.

The new emblem system, despite being disappointing from a narrative standpoint, also allows give players even more avenues to approach the game and experimenting with different pairings of units and emblems was wholeheartedly enjoyable. Engage introduces a lot of interesting new mechanics like breaking, smashing, and secondary classes that change the way the game can be played and allows for the player to form interesting strategies and approach each situation in many different and creative ways. Gameplay: 8/10 Starting with the best part first, the gameplay of engage is a refreshing return to the roots of fire emblem after being what I believe was the weakest part of the previous entry, three houses.

Overall: A narratively disappointing game with lots to enjoy on a mechanical level. However, the good elements may manage to carry you through the eye roll-inducing cutscenes (which can be skipped, thankfully). Fans of Three Houses will be utterly baffled and disappointed by Engage's astounding lack of narrative depth - its story is pure schlock, and its characters range from marginally charming to repulsively one-note. Characters mostly have the depth of a kiddie pool, and most look like rejected Genshin Impact designs.
