A Challenge
When I first played through Hard Mode on my first run of Three Houses, I actually didn’t think it was very challenging. However, a harder difficulty was later added to the gave via a free update, and after playing it, it made me appreciate the game a lot more.
You see, Three Houses has brought a lot of accessibility to the franchise while still catering to fans who want a challenge.
Casual Mode has been brought back once again, which lessens the stakes and difficulty of the game, which is really great for new players who aren’t used to the punishing style of gameplay that Fire Emblem can sometimes have. It may undercut certain mechanics of the game, but if it brings in new fans while also providing content for more hardcore ones, then it’s all aces.
If you’re looking for a real challenge that isn’t something like Dark Souls, Fire Emblem, and especially Three Houses on Switch, might just be the perfect game.
There are plenty of reasons to go out and play all the Fire Emblem games that you can (if you can find them), but Three Houses is just such a high for the franchise as a whole, and it’s been so beautiful to see the community rally around it and have it be supported from the developers, months after release.
There has been so much added content to this wonderful game, with now endless customization and replayability, that it really does hit a much wider demographic than ever. And that is why right now is the perfect time for you, to get into Fire Emblem.
