You Can Issue Orders to Units in Battle
While you won’t get total control over your army like you would in a normal Fire Emblem game, you will still have a degree of control over what they do. You do have the option of issuing strategic commands during the middle of battle to your allies, which will direct a portion of your army along with them. The map that we played on during our demo time was pretty large, with multiple tiers and routes mixing together. It easily would have taken a minute or two to run from one side to the other.
Like most Warriors games, there are a number of keeps and strongholds that you can capture by wearing down enemy forces and defeating the captain. This will cut off the flow of enemy reinforcements and strengthen your own army. You’ll need to shuffle your units around and direct them to key points on the battlefield, adapting with the flow of the battle. Hopefully, these elements can be implemented well to give Fire Emblem Warriors a bit of a tactical flair.
