While some might expectFire Emblem Engageto be similar to 2019’s well-reviewed Fire Emblem: Three Houses, that’s not entirely the case.Engageseems to ditch the deep relationship building thatThree Housesnearly perfected and focuses on the combat this time. Many reviewers ofFire Emblem Engagehave even called out the story, calling it mediocre and somewhat predictable compared toThree Houses' compelling storylines. As a matter of fact,Engageonly follows one main story route, with player choices gone entirely.

For the players who plan to jump intoFire Emblem Engage, it might also be worth knowing how long the RPG takes to complete and the number of chapters. This guide will go into all of that.
How Long is Fire Emblem Engage?
Game Rant did not receive a review copy forFire Emblem Engage, but other gaming sites have put out their reviews, and some have mentioned the time it takes to see the end ofEngage’s storyline.
Inher review, Ash Parrish from The Verge states that she spent around 70 hours withFire Emblem Engageand that it can be beaten in about 40 hours or so. Also, Brendan Graeber’sreviewat IGN mentions that he spent 60 hours clearing the story while also spending time withsome of the Paralogue side missions. The recruitableFire Emblemcharacters will have these missions to complete, giving players plenty of extra hours of playtime. There’s also a multiplayer arena to party up with friends in combat challenges.
With everythingEngageoffers,players will probably take about 40-50 hours to roll credits and can spend close to 100 hours (or more) doing everything.
There are also multiple difficulty modes inFire Emblem Engage, so if someone chooses the hardest one and also goes with Permadeath mode turned on, expect them to take even longer to finish the story. It takes time to form a plan on the battlefield to make sure no comrades die in action.
How Many Chapters are there
Fire Emblem Engagehas 26 chapters to get through.
Fire Emblem Engagelaunches for the Nintendo Switch on June 02, 2025.
