In 2022 I decided to only play hack and slash games, in whatever order i saw fit to connect any threads I wanted to explore. This is one of the games I played during The Year of the Hack and Slash! I’m porting over this post which originally appeared as a thread on twitter in 2022.

Kicking off the last month in the Year of the Hack & Slash with a game/series that I didn’t anticipate playing, Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes! @AbraCatrena and I have been co-op’ing this & its been a great time! Lots of depth to everything BUT the combat. 🧵

If ever you thought “Gee Three Houses would rule if it weren’t for all that TURN BASED STRATEGY” then do I have good news for you! Its the same game. The story may be new but everything is there from 3H. Tea Time, character management, the class system, supports, crests, et all

Last night we wrapped Three Hopes! Due to a series of misfortunate choices we got the bad ending. There was 1 chapter that determined the ending & some rogue NPC made the error to kill someone & boom - bad ending because I didn’t bother creating two saves. OH WELL!

Three Houses was the first FE game I ate whole. Catrena & I would spend nights for months strategizing, dating, having tea, leveling up. The gameplay loop just clicked. Its fitting this would be the first Warriors game that made us do the same. The H&S combat is secondary.

We will come back to it for Dmitri’s route, but for now we’re going to walk away from this, feeling slightly unsatisfied by the ending we got, but ultimately happy to have spent time in this world with these characters (and the kick-ass music) again.
