Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave Preview: Potentially Nintendo's Best Strategy Game Yet

Ten hours of gameplay has seen the completion of the prologue and five chapters within one of the four story paths, which corresponds to one round of the Heroic Games out of an unspecified number of rounds. The game appears massive, yet it moves swiftly. Intelligent Systems has introduced new combat system changes and story developments in the prologue, which have been well-guarded even with the recent Nintendo Direct revealing the protagonist.

These changes are immediately put into practice, bypassing tutorial-style missions introducing basic combat and character movement. The game caters to newcomers with difficulty options and a rewind system, keeping characters from dying permanently in casual mode. The developer seems confident enough to dive into the action swiftly, trusting players to keep up.
