About

The worlds of the Fire Emblem™ series and Atlus games have crossed paths again and the result is coming to the Nintendo Switch™ system. An interdimensional evil has invaded modern-day Tokyo, resulting in this fantastical barrage of music, style, and yes, danger. So, fight back! Battle through dungeons to pump up your strategy and creatively decimate your foes…before all hope fades to black. You and the rising stars you call friends will need to call on your own creative power—manifested as iconic Fire Emblem characters—to wage a secret war on rogue spirits that feed on creativity. Each encounter will immerse you in deep, turn-based battles that blend the combat of the Fire Emblem and Shin Megami Tensei series into one brutal harmony. Fuse items to craft weaponry; then play to your strengths and crush your foes. Around every corner you’ll find fun nods to multiple fandoms, including Fire Emblem references, dungeons themed to the entertainment industry, and stunning musical performances.

    Time hasn’t aged this game one bit; I still found it as adorable as I did back in 2016. It is great that TMS is now available to a wider audience and hopefully will it get the sales it deserves. In my opinion it is not only the best JRPG on the Switch, but stands shoulder to shoulder with the best of all time.

    If you like JRPGs, please play this game for the love of everything that is holy. Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore is so much more than "idol Fire Emblem." It's a solid JRPG that can hold its own among some of the best out there. Now that it's finally on Switch, I'm hoping it will succeed and people can see what they likely missed out on four years ago.

    Aside from the ridiculous lack of an autosave feature, I absolutely adored my time with this bright and colorful game. If I wasn’t admiring the gorgeous aesthetics, I was bopping to the catchy soundtrack filled. And on top of that, the combat system proved to be engaging and fun enough to keep me engaged from start to finish.

    Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore is a great game for the Nintendo Switch, and perhaps it would have been better if this game saw its first release on Nintendo’s hybrid console, rather than the flopped Wii U. Nonetheless, some elements of the game still feel a bit as if the game was designed for an older platform, most noticeably when looking at the graphics of the game. Encore offers a great story, cute characters and an interesting battle system to keep you occupied throughout a full playthrough.

    Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore's incredibly colorful style brightens up your day. The addicting JRPG gameplay keeps you occupied for hours, and the soundtrack will remain stuck in your head for months to come.

    Those with no interest in the Japanese idol industry may be alienated by how deeply Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE: Encore digs into it (I’m sure I missed a lot of jokes), but I can’t imagine there are Nintendo gamers out there who aren’t interested in Japanese entertainment. Don’t seek this one out specifically as a Fire Emblem game, but fans of Persona, Shin Megami Tensei, or JRPGs in general should love it.

    Honestly I have my doubts of this game. It is a crossover with Fire Emblem and Shin Megami Tensi games. The plot of the story is some shadows are stealing the "performances" from the artist. Your job is stop those shadows which are doing a big mess in Japan. The rest of the game is the same cliché of one of the protagonist wants to be an "idol" and you are helping with and stopping the shadows. The music is not bad, but it got boring listening again and again. If you want to beat the enemy fast you have to use yours skills to create chains with yours companions otherwise it will take you and eternity beat them. I never used a normal attack because the damage you make is not so great compared with the skills. I like the game, to be played just once.
