Fire Emblem Engage – January 20 – SW

Nintendo’s classic strategy RPG series is back with a new game that also explores the franchise’s past. After a thousand years, the seal that bound the terrible Fell Dragon has weakened and the continent of Elyos prepares to enter the age of darkness. Then, as a divine dragon warrior, players will need to gather an army of allies to defeat the enemy.

The big news of the game, both in story and gameplay, are the new Emblem Rings, rings that allow you to connect with the soul of former heroes of the series, such as Marth, Lyn, Sigurd, Corrin, Celica, Byleth and more. Your warriors can be strengthened with the help of accessories and can even take on a powerful form, resulting from the fusion with ancient heroes, called Engage. Fire Emblem Engage is available for Nintendo Switch for R$ 299.

Initially exclusive to Nintendo Switch in 2021, the Monster Hunter Rise chapter now comes to all platforms with its dangerous monsters. In this RPG, players visit the Japanese-themed village Kamura to protect it from a phenomenon called Rampage, which causes several monsters to attack at once.

The basic mechanics of hunting monsters and loot from their carcasses to craft better weapons and armor remain, as does the focus on online multiplayer for up to 4 people. The version also introduced some new features, such as a canine companion called a Palamute, which can act as a mount, and the ability to control monsters for a limited time, using the Wyvern Riding technique.

Monster Hunter Rise is available for PlayStation 5 (PS5) and PlayStation 4 (PS4) for R$ 184.90 and for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and Xbox One for R$ 184. The game will also be available on Xbox Game Pass without Extra costs for subscribers.
