Defined Design: Hidden Depth in Fire Emblem Warriors
VGChartz's Paul Broussard: "Depth and complexity are concepts that often take a while to become apparent. Take Fire Emblem Warriors, which on the surface might seem like an expansion of the idea behind Hyrule Warriors; lift characters, settings, and a few surface level mechanics from a Nintendo series, and then slap it on top of a Warriors title. In theory, the result is not particularly complex; Fire Emblem Warriors mostly plays like a Warriors game with a couple of minor wrinkles. But Fire Emblem Warriors goes above and beyond this simple idea and manages to craft a particularly compelling gameplay system which embraces a concept not seen enough in this style of game, evolving the formula with small changes that add up to significant shifts in player thinking."
