Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave
Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is a turn-based strategy RPG centered around the Heroic Games, a tournament where warriors with different motivations compete for a chance to have their greatest wish granted by the Divine Sovereign. The game builds on the tactical foundation of previous Fire Emblem titles, featuring turn-based combat with combat arts, gambits, and crests. A new mechanic called Blaze Arts lets units spend health to perform powerful special abilities on the battlefield. The game appears to be set in the same world as Fire Emblem: Three Houses, though in a different era, and follows characters like Cai, who enters the tournament to save his father's life.

What people are saying
Updated nightlyFire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is Intelligent Systems' Switch 2 tactics RPG about the Heroic Games, where Cai fights to save his father and units can spend health for Blaze Arts. The people who played it mostly liked the combat loop and story, and the cast, including Leda, Fabio, Cai, Dietrich, Theodora, Esmeralda, Olympia, and Eshmel, gives the tournament enough heart to keep people invested. Graphics get strong praise too, but performance and difficulty balance are where the gripes show up, with some players hitting roughness and others feeling the challenge misses. Value is less convincing than the fun, so it feels like a buy for tactics fans more than a must-have for everyone. If you want Fire Emblem with a tournament hook and can live with the technical and balance gripes, it's a good time.
