Fire Emblem Warriors (2017)
Marking the first Fire Emblem title on the Switch, Fire Emblem Warriors is a thrilling crossover with the Dynasty Warriors series. This game masterfully combines Fire Emblem's strategic team-based gameplay with the frenetic hack-and-slash action of Dynasty Warriors. It's a must-play for fans of action-packed games, though its lighter narrative may not satisfy those deeply invested in Fire Emblem's lore.
Developed by Omega Force, the studio behind Dynasty Warriors, in partnership with action experts Team Ninja, known for titles like Ninja Gaiden and Nioh, this spinoff offers a unique take on the franchise.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses represents a landmark for the series. It was the first Fire Emblem game to grace a home console in 12 years, the first mainline entry on the Switch, and achieved both critical acclaim and commercial success, building on the momentum established by Awakening years earlier.
Three Houses offers a grand tactical RPG experience that intricately weaves large-scale battles with an overarching narrative of political and religious strife. Meanwhile, quieter moments allow for deep character development within the monastery, where you can train, teach, explore, and form bonds through engaging conversations.
As the pinnacle of Fire Emblem's offerings on Switch, Three Houses is the ideal starting point for newcomers to the series.

In 2020, Nintendo brought us Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore, an enhanced version of the original Wii U release. This expanded port includes new story content, characters, and music, blending Fire Emblem's "weapon triangle" combat system with the vibrant style, dungeon-crawling, and combat dynamics of Atlus's Shin Megami Tensei and Persona series.
The game's storyline delivers a playful and exaggerated nod to Japanese pop culture, where, much like in Warriors, the action takes center stage.

Nintendo and Omega Force teamed up once again for Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, their second crossover with the Dynasty Warriors series. This game presents an alternate timeline to Three Houses, where the protagonist Byleth takes on the role of the main antagonist.
Three Hopes offers a richer integration of Fire Emblem's social and tactical elements with the fast-paced action of Dynasty Warriors, making it a more comprehensive blend of the two franchises than its predecessor.

Fire Emblem Engage stands as the latest entry in the series and the second mainline release on the Switch. It builds upon the excellence of Three Houses while paying homage to Fire Emblem's rich history. Engage refines the social and hub mechanics from Three Houses, focusing more intensely on the series' signature tactical combat, notably reintroducing the "weapon triangle" system.
The narrative follows Alear, a Divine Dragon on a quest to gather 12 rings to defeat the Fell Dragon and save the continent of Elyos. These rings connect the story to the series' past, allowing players to summon iconic heroes like Marth, Ike, Celica, and Byleth.
