Yeah, never felt like Smash’s FE roster did a good job portraying the series. In my ideal world we would have Marth, another rep with a different weapon type (or combination of them), a magic rep, and a dragon rep. Bonus points if two of those reps are modern picks and the other is pre-Awakening.

So yeah overall I feel pretty positive after all is said and done. I am interested to see how Nightreign further translates ER mechanics into a multiplayer survival and what impact it’ll have on their future projects (please be ambitious with the multiplayer on your next game I beg)

Not to mention the Nightfarers and the abilities they come with! Each feel wholly unique and variable in playstyle based on what loot you pick up. Had the most fun with Wylder and Duchess. Even though I didn’t play Recluse much, she has a really cool iteration of the ER magic system.

I’ve seen some people who haven’t played the test say the game looked boring but I can promise you while playing it’s much more interesting. Numerous quick decisions are being made constantly and it’s a great feeling playing with a well-functioning team.

My biggest gripes with the test was weird network issues (though that’s absolutely a given) but also team mate communication. It was pretty awkward trying to work with randos at times especially since the most you could do is spam map markers.
