Columnist Danshoku Dino recently shared his impressions of the simulation game Fire Emblem: Ban-shi Sen-ko, available on Nintendo Switch 2. Despite experiencing health issues that hindered his initial ability to play, he eventually engaged with the title and found the experience highly enjoyable.
Dino noted that the game feels modern and emphasizes a smooth tempo, allowing for stress-free progression. He highlighted the high degree of freedom, comparing the sensation of traveling the world to titles like Tactics Ogre and Final Fantasy Tactics. Additionally, he found the process of recruiting allies reminiscent of Suikoden.
Regarding criticisms, the reviewer felt the game's prologue was somewhat lengthy, making it take longer than expected to reach the core gameplay. However, he acknowledged that his physical fatigue during his initial sessions might have influenced this perception. He remains confident in the series' storytelling quality as he continues his playthrough.
Dino ultimately recommends the title to simulation game enthusiasts, regardless of their history with the series. Meanwhile, he is currently debating whether to start Derby Stallion 2 or the newly released fishing game Boku to Tsuri Nikki, despite his ongoing commitment to Fire Emblem.
