Some video games love paying lip service to their past. Newer games in a series might resurrect a character for older fans to appreciate, or bring back a single item for one last hurrah – like the Samurai Edge in Resident Evil Village, a cheeky wink at players who’ve been there since the beginning. Fire Emblem Engage takes this to another level. The latest game in Nintendo’s strategical series is billed as a grand revival of long-lost characters and elements – Engage’s headline quirk has you literally summoning heroes from past installments to aid you in the turn-based battles.
