Fire Emblem: Three Houses 2019

Is it still worth playing?

Intelligent Systems and Koei Tecmo's 2019 tactical role playing game for the Switch, with turn based grid battles in which the map view shifts to third person. Byleth, a former mercenary with a mysterious past, becomes the newest professor at the Garreg Mach Monastery, whose officers' school takes students from the three nations of Fódlan. There, life runs on a calendar of days that governs teaching, exercises and social events. Your first house choice shapes the story, which jumps five years halfway. On the battlefield, battalions of hired troops buff a lead unit and enable Gambits, Combat Arts replace the Weapon Triangle, and class changes come through exams. Divine Pulse rewinds a limited number of turn actions. A school calendar that shapes who fights for you, and how, still gives its tactical battles weight today.
