For Fire Emblem fans looking to flex some swords and sorcery outside of the usual tactical turn-based formula of the franchise, now is a great time to grab Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, which is on sale at a record-low price. Over at Amazon, you can pick up this Nintendo Switch game for just $23.82, its lowest price ever. If Amazon sells out, you can grab the game at Woot for $25.

Set in the universe of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Three Hopes features three distinct storylines that puts you in control of Edelgard, Dimitri, and Claude. Developed by Dynasty Warriors studio Omega Force, it sticks firmly to the Musou action genre as you cut down armies of hundreds of enemies. There is a Fire Emblem spin to this formula, one that focuses on character development to unlock some great battle bonuses, and if you're a fan of this genre, there's a lot to fall in love here with.

It's worth noting that Musou games can be repetitive, but if you're after a power fantasy, these games are very fulfilling. «Three Hopes features the often repetitive combat style developer Omega Force is renowned for, but enough dedicated Fire Emblem mechanics exist to make it feel like something more than a simple spin-off,» Kyle Hilliard wrote in GameSpot's Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes review.

If you'd prefer to stick to the traditional Fire Emblem experience, you can grab Fire Emblem: Engage right now for just $42 at Amazon. This is the latest entry in the series, and it features a novel gameplay mechanic in which you can fuse your characters with warriors from previous Fire Emblem games to unlock extra powers on the battlefield.

Unlike its predecessor Three Houses, Engage is a leaner experience that focuses more on battles than running a boarding school between missions and is tonally similar to 3DS Fire Emblem classics like Awakening and Fates. Meanwhile, Woot is selling Fire Emblem Engage for $40.
