Most Disappointing Games of Q4 2017

Fire Emblem Warriors wasn’t a complete trainwreck, let’s at least give it that. Marrying the tactical gameplay of the Fire Emblem series with the hack n’ slash frantic action of Koei Tecmo’s Warriors series actually made for a pretty great combat experience. Battles felt that little bit more varied and exciting knowing that you could be a little more tactical than just mashing the X and Y buttons over and over again. Yet, while this may have been a strong Warriors title, it definitely didn’t win over Fire Emblem fans.

Some of the tactical mechanics that had made their way from traditional Fire Emblem titles just didn’t work. The permadeath system isn’t really a permadeath system if you have the right materials, and the support conversations are uninteresting and lack depth. The main gripes from Fire Emblem fans, however, came down to the lopsided and very limited roster, favoring characters from the more recent Fates and Awakening over the iconic old-school fan favorites. Partner all of this up with an underwhelming story and you’re left with a great-feeling Warriors game, but one that won’t satiate most Fire Emblem fans.
