VGChartz's Thomas Froehlicher: "It might be much less exciting than other recent series entries in terms of narrative, but Fire Emblem Engage is the title that has brought most to the table in terms of gameplay since Fire Emblem Awakening. The impressive step up in visuals, as well as the wonderful anime-style design, makes it absolutely terrific to play. You'll also find plenty of solid side content and a lengthy campaign, making it astronomical value for money. With Engage, the series continues to be the ultimate jewel in the Japanese SRPG crown."
Kotaku: "It was another great year for making the numbers go up and romancing our favorite NPCs."
“It's time for one of my favourite annual round-ups: our RPG of the Year Awards so here are this year's best RPGs in 11 distinct categories.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
Hands down. Star ocean 2 remake. Shame it didn't make it to any of their lists. One other thing imo sea of stars was better then chained echoes.
Excellent choices! Both are great games that we considered but Chained Echoes edged out Sea of Stars by a hair and Star Ocean 2 almost made the cut. There were so many phenomenal RPGs this year that some tough decisions had to be made; that's for sure! 😅
No mention of Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed. That's ridiculous. One of the best dlc ever.
Absolutely! And thanks for your feedback - we will consider an award for DLC next year.
Fire Emblem Engage Original Soundtrack revealed with standard edition and limited edition. Pre-orders are open now.
