Urge to play Engage
Today, in the middle of my work, I felt like playing Engage again using some units I’d never used before, like Etie, Jade, and Rosado. Tonight I started a new run on Maddening and remembered just how well-designed Engage’s early game is, the maps are short but interesting and well-constructed, like Chapter 4. But what bothered me was the number of saves; 10 is way too few. I like to have at least two saves for the current run I’m doing, and I had to delete a previous Maddening run that I’d stopped near the endgame.
I also remembered someone mentioning a while back how long the early chapters of the new Fire Emblem games takes compared to older games, but aside from Three Houses, I don't see much of a difference; in Fates and Engage, it's pretty easy to play through 7 or 8 maps in about 2 or 3 hours.
