Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore

Unable to combine the best of two beloved series, this JRPG can't really find its focus.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions is a ridiculous gem that’s finally getting a second chance

A group of magical youngsters do battle on the streets of Tokyo in this endearing, addictive anime-like role-playing game

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore is one of the most colourful, approachable and downright endearing RPGs you'll find on the Switch. Its new story chapter, music tracks and character assists improve on the original to an extent, but not enough to greatly affect its overall quality. Thankfully, what was there was already fantastic, meaning those who missed out on it the first time around really have no reason not to get stuck in now.

A wonderful JRPG that gets a second chance on a new platform.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions' deep battle system, light-hearted story, bright aesthetics, and catchy J-pop soundtrack are JRPG bliss.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE Encore is definitely the definitive version of the game - who needs the Wii U GamePad, anyway? JRPG fans and those who love idol culture will find a lot to love here, but this certainly won't convert anyone who hasn't liked JRPGs in the past, like Persona 5 and other games might. A great title to have in your Nintendo Switch library.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore is the definitive version of a JRPG that was already quite enjoyable.

As JRPGs go, one could do far worse than this peculiar hybrid of two esteemed franchises (but, truth be told, one could do far better too).

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore is a unique game. It mixes classic SMT dungeon crawling, with Fire Emblem systems, and puts it all to a music filled story. While it’s plot really isn’t it’s strong point, the characters are still fun and likable, and the gameplay is pretty solid. It’s nothing outstanding by any means, especially compared to other SMT titles, but it’s still good enough to stand on it’s own. It’s a great way for newcomers to get introduced to the series, and is something worth checking out if you are already a fan.
