파이어 엠블렘 만자천홍 - 리뷰
'파이어 엠블렘' 시리즈는 턴제 전투 시스템을 통해 플레이어가 치열하게 전략을 고민하도록 유도하며 전장의 뛰어난 전술가로 성장시키는 과정을 자랑으로 삼아왔다. 최근 작품에서는 전쟁 중일 때뿐만 아니라 전투와 전투 사이의 시간에서도 전략이 중요한 요소로 자리 잡았다. 다음 전투 전까지 주어지는 시간을 어떻게 최대한 활용할 것인가? 누구에게 추가 훈련이 필요한지, 아니면 유대를 다지기 위해 맛있는 식사를 함께할 것인지 같은 고민 말이다. '파이어 엠블렘 만자천홍'은 단순히 그 연장선에 머물지 않고 야심 찬 도약을 이뤄냈다. 새내기 영웅들을 관리하고 예상외로 몰입감 넘치는 맵을 탐험하는 범위를 한층 넓혔으며, 시리즈 역사상 가장 험난하면서도 기발한 전투를 선보인다. 여러 갈래로 나뉘는 스토리는 얽히고설켜 웅장한 대서사시를 완성하며 매번 새로운 반전을 선사한다. 100시간을 넘게 플레이하고도 아직 가보지 못한 독특한 루트가 남아 있어 당장이라도 다시 뛰어들고 싶을 정도다.
Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave - Review
The Fire Emblem series has always prided itself on how it teaches you to become a master tactician on the battlefield, using its turn-based battle system to push you to truly think strategically. In its more recent games, strategy became an important aspect not just while waging war, but between battles as well: How will you make the most of your time before the next skirmish? Who needs extra training, or perhaps a nice shared meal to increase camaraderie?
Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave – Die finale Preview
Die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse aus der Vorschau: Fortune’s Weave versucht ganz klar, die Geschichten der einzelnen Helden schon früh in den Vordergrund zu rücken, und das finden wir großartig. Die neuen Brandattacken-Fähigkeiten bieten ein unterhaltsames Risiko-Belohnungs-System im Kampf. Zwar könnt ihr nun zwischen den verschiedenen Handlungssträngen hin- und herspringen, doch das Speichersystem könnte Spieler nerven, die alles sehen wollen, was das neue Fire Emblem zu bieten hat.
파이어 엠블렘 만자천홍 - 최종 프리뷰
프리뷰 핵심 요약: 파이어 엠블렘 만자천홍은 초반부터 각 영웅의 개인 서사를 전면에 내세우는 훌륭한 시도를 보여준다. 새로운 기술인 블레이즈 아츠는 전투에 흥미로운 하이 리스크 하이 리턴 시스템을 더한다. 이야기의 분기를 자유롭게 넘나들 수 있지만, 세이브 시스템은 게임의 모든 요소를 파고들려는 플레이어에게 다소 불편하게 다가올 수 있다. 파이어 엠블렘이 7년 만에 파이어 엠블렘 풍화설월의 세계로 마침내 돌아왔다. 파이어 엠블렘 만자천홍은 기존작과 구조적으로 유사한 부분이 많지만, 개발사인 인텔리전트 시스템즈(Intelligent Systems)는 풍화설월을 정의했던 특징들을 더욱 흥미진진한 방식으로 발전시켰다. 각 주인공으로 초반 몇 개의 챕터만 플레이해 보았음에도, 이미 마음에 쏙 드는 새로운 요소들을 여럿 발견할 수 있었다. 물론 조금 아쉬운 부분도 하나 있긴 했지만 말이다.
Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave – The Final Preview
Key Preview Takeaways: Fortune's Weave clearly attempts to front-load more of its individual heroes' stories, and we applaud it. The new Blaze Arts moves offer a fun risk/reward system in combat. While you can now hop between story paths, the save-game system might annoy players looking to see everything the new Fire Emblem has to offer. After seven years, Fire Emblem is finally returning to the world introduced in Fire Emblem: Three Houses.

《Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave》最终前瞻
前瞻要点总结： Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave 显然尝试在前期加入更多个人英雄故事，我们对此表示赞赏。 全新的“烈焰武技（Blaze Arts）”为战斗提供了有趣的风险/回报系统。 虽然现在可以在不同故事线之间自由切换，但存档系统可能会让那些想要体验这款 Fire Emblem 新作全部内容的玩家感到困扰。 时隔七年，Fire Emblem 终于回到了 火焰纹章：风花雪月 所介绍的世界。在 Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave 的结构中可以发现许多相似之处，但开发商 Intelligent Systems 也在通过一些相当令人兴奋的方式，对定义了 火焰纹章：风花雪月 的功能进行扩展。尽管我只体验了每位主要英雄的几个章节，但我已经发现了一些非常喜欢的新内容……或许还有一个我不太感冒的内容。 在 Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave...
델타룬 챕터 5, 예상을 완벽히 뒤엎은 환상적인 전개
본 기사는 IGN 필자 브렌던 그래버(Brendan Graeber)의 오피니언 칼럼이다. 그는 델타룬의 첫 네 개 챕터 리뷰를 담당했으며, 지난 10년이 넘는 세월 동안 토비 폭스(Toby Fox)의 머릿속에 숨겨진 미스터리를 분석해 왔다. 지금으로부터 1년여 전, 개발자 토비 폭스와 그의 팀은 언더테일의 평행 세계 이야기를 다룬 델타룬 챕터 3과 델타룬 챕터 4를 마침내 선보였다. 무료 데모 형태로 델타룬 챕터 1이 공개된 지 7년 만에 출시된 이 후속작들 덕분에, 필자를 포함한 팬들은 장장 8년이라는 시간 동안 델타룬의 서사가 향하는 방향성에 깊이 몰두해 왔다. 이렇게 긴 기다림은 지금까지 플레이한 사건들의 숨은 의미를 해독하는 것을 넘어, 지난 6월 24일 드디어 베일을 벗은 델타룬 챕터 5가 과연 어떤 이야기를 펼쳐낼지 고찰할 충분한 시간을 안겨주었다. 게임 곳곳에 흩뿌려진 복선과 불길한 징조들, 그리고 한층 기괴해진 ARG 덕분에 나름대로 타당한 추측을 세워볼 수도 있었다.
Deltarune Chapter 5 Was Not What I Was Expecting and That’s Fantastic
This is an IGN opinion piece from writer Brendan Graeber. He reviewed Deltarune’s first four chapters and has been analysing the mysteries of Toby Fox’s mind for over a decade. A little more than a year ago today, developer Toby Fox and his team released the long awaited third and fourth chapters of Deltarune, a parallel story to Fox’s own hit indie RPG, Undertale.
Deltarune Chapter 5 并非我预想的那样，而这太棒了。
这是一篇来自作者 Brendan Graeber 的评论文章。他曾评测过 Deltarune 的前四章，并花了十多年时间分析 Toby Fox 的奇思妙想。 就在一年多以前，开发者 Toby Fox 及其团队发布了备受期待的 Deltarune Chapter 3 和 Deltarune Chapter 4。这是继 Fox 的热门独立 RPG 游戏 传说之下 之后的平行故事。在 Deltarune Chapter 1 作为免费试玩版发布七年后，我和其他粉丝现在已经对 Deltarune 的故事轨迹痴迷了八年。除了破译我目前玩过的情节，这段漫长的等待也让我有充足的时间思考 Deltarune 的故事在第五章中会走向何方，而这一章已于上周 6 月 24 日正式上线。得益于一些伏笔、不祥的预兆以及一个更诡异的 ARG，我做出了一些合理的推测。虽然第五章的总体设定符合我的预期，但其中的事件完全出乎我的意料，让我对接下来的两章比以往任何时候都更加期待。 我知道不是每个人都已经通关了 Deltarune...

Deltarune Review
Note: this review contains some small spoilers for Deltarune's first two chapters. It was nearly seven years ago on Halloween when I woke up at the crack of dawn to download an ominous “Survey Program” from Undertale developer Toby Fox. It turned out that this program contained not just a simple survey, but the start of a grand adventure that I haven’t been able to stop thinking about since.
