GiN checked out Dark Deity which is now available on Switch, too:

RPG Dark Deity Takes Its Inspiration from Fire Emblem Series

Dark Deity, which released last year on Steam and more recently on Switch, is a game that's very reminiscent of a Fire Emblem that no longer exists. I personally loved Three Houses, but there was just something special about those older games: a strategy RPG where you couldn't take time to grind and had to make do with what you were given. Dark Deity makes sure to wear its Fire Emblem inspiration like a badge of honor, and everything from the combat animations to the character portraits exude a very similar flair. So is Dark Deity an imposter, or is it a worthwhile contribution to your games collection? Let's find out.

All in all, Dark Deity on Switch is a great game for those who want to experience the old days of Fire Emblem, and this game proudly wears its inspiration as a badge of honor. What's so impressive about the game is that it does everything reasonably well, from the visuals and music choices to the balancing of weapon and armor advantages or disadvantages. There are some strange bugs in the Switch version of the game, in particular, that could impact enjoyment of the game pretty easily, but Dark Deity could be worth your time and interest should it go on sale or receive a patch to improve some of its issues.

Score: 3.5/5
