Yes
Engage is a return to form of older Fire Emblem in its gameplay.
There is the Somniel hub world portion of the game that's more akin to modern FE, but really it's pretty optional and you can skip going there completely if you prefer.
People really like to be harsh on the characters and the story but it's honestly a lot of fun if you just kinda go into it expecting it to be more like a Saturday morning anime

I'd definitely recommend FE7 (Lyn, Eliwood, Hector) and FE9 (Ike) if you have the means!
