Yay.
Score:
Gameplay: 8.8/10
I hesitate to give this a 9, but I think this game takes the FE formula in a good direction, giving the player a decent amount of player-phase tools. I do think they struggled to find a solid balance between enemy stats and the sheer power of the player for Maddening. As for unit balance, there is a clear disparity between the starting units and the units obtained around chapter 12 and onward. Also, in the recent games the Jagen is somewhat usable. Vander becomes obsolete after like 4 maps and doesn't have any redeeming qualities stat wise. We need more Seths, or at least Titanias.
The DLC is also horribly balanced.
Story: 6.5/10
The overall story is fairly basic, like most FE games. The characters and supports and where the real meat is and it's ok.
Sound: 7.5/10
Still good with the voiced dialogue, and seeing my Three Houses review again, they STILL haven't fixed the shop being annoying since then. The music is alright. There's only one song that shoots for the heights of Three Houses' God Shattering Star or Apex of the World, and Solm's music is bangin.
Graphics: 6.5/10
Although the character models do look high quality, they are mostly way overdesigned. They still have the low quality JPEG issue in support conversations, but fixed it in the maps you can walk around in.
Other Stuff:
The "endgame" is the tower trial maps, which can be scaled quite high and the skrmishes against random enemies. And once you're fully maxed out with broken builds, the DLC maps on Maddening can provide an additional challenge.
Overall: 7.325
I think Engage is a fine entry to the series despite the shortcomings I noted. I wouldn't recommend Maddening unless you're ready for the pain.
Moving on, I said I'd start Pyre, as I'm still waiting for the TTYD remake later this month.
