I'm on Chapter 8 so far and I have thoroughly enjoyed this iteration of Fire Emblem. I'm moving at a snails pace as I keep going back to the home base and I keep going after skirmishes. I ended up naming the main character Mirage because the game gives me the most TMS vibes out of any other in the franchise. I love flashy anime hair, so I'm a fan of Alear's character design. Overall I find the updates to the combat to be stellar. The characters are fun and the story while simple, is enjoyable to view.

I'm generally loving the gameplay, and finding the rest either groanworthy or unpolished. A lot of the features feel like they weren't tested or adjusted, and the writing (at least for the main scenario,) has been passable, at its best. Supports may be better- I've only gone through a small portion of them, and while most of those have been forgettable, I may be missing good ones.

I find this a nice step up from Three Houses. Not as good as Awakening/Fates, but a bit of a return to form.

As someone who very much disliked Three Houses, I'm enjoying Engage a fair amount. The story is pretty dumb, but the writing is corny enough to be funny.

I just like that its easier to play compared to Three Houses. The mechanics are more straight forward. No weapon durability or keys to open chests(unless that changes?). The UI is easy to understand and the font in handheld is actually large & readable this time. The strategy environments are more clear to navigate, not as drab looking. Sometimes more simple is better to me. I don't even mind the story being more simple.
