If you own a Nintendo Switch and love Japanese role-playing games, you’ve likely scrolled past Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE Encore more than once. At first glance, it looks like a niche idol simulator. But look closer: this is a full-fledged, turn-based JRPG masterwork born from an impossible collaboration between Fire Emblem and Shin Megami Tensei (the series behind Persona ).

Encore adds a new side story arc featuring Tiki from Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon . This isn’t just a cameo—it’s a full dungeon with unique battles and rewards.

The base game plus every piece of paid DLC (extra dungeons, costumes, and battle challenges) comes on the cart/download. No extra purchases needed.

If you want a 50+ hour adventure filled with catchy music, satisfying combat, and a cast that grows on you like your favorite pop group, give this encore a standing ovation.

New difficulty options let you skip random encounters or revive characters mid-battle—great for newcomers to SMT-style combat.

Shining on Switch: Why Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE Encore is a Hidden JRPG Gem

Perform “Ad-lib” attacks and watch Session chains unfold in crisp 1080p docked or 720p handheld. The art style pops beautifully on the OLED screen. Combat: The Star of the Show Turn-based battles are where TMS#FE truly shines. You exploit enemy weaknesses to start a “Session”—a combo where your entire party joins in, followed by backup party members. Chain 10+ attacks in a single turn, and you’ll feel like you’re directing a concert.
