Fire Emblem with Better Graphics

a great game a must for all gamers and if you don't get this game well there's no hope for you then

decent graphic, a little stiff on characters expression but still bearable, class can be added to be more complex, but overall really enjoy playing this game. turn based strategy is my fav afterall

Just finished, it was fun and worth it on sale. I enjoyed the story overall and when I thought I could predict it, it definitely surprised me a few times with twists. The combat was pretty cool, and I did enjoy the different fights - IE it wasn't all just "Kill them before they kill you". There were mechanics and objectives in alot of the story battles. Played it both on PC and Steam Deck as I played through, worked great on both. I also used Mouse/Keyboard and a PS4 controller and again had no issues at all with either option. My only gripe is I felt they could have done better with the spells and attacks animations. Like for instance Fireball and Pillar of Fire (the next level of the spell) look exactly the same. The taunting attacks seem to just be glowing normal attack animations. I got bored looking at it after a while and there was nothing that was just like "Whoa that was awesome" even with maxed classes/characters. There is alot of character building and story. It got kind of old at the end, though I did enjoy alot of the conversations just running around camp and talking to folks, most conversations were not just 1 liners and stayed true to the characters and relationship with Eden. I thought the gear progression was so-so - most gear was just copies with a tweaked benefit like Magic resist or Physical resist. That said, there are a handful of legendary-type items you can get throughout the story and side quests, and I enjoyed getting a new weapon or piece of armor and trying it out. The spear was pretty awesome and I used the whole game on one of my characters. There is a relationship system that was kind of fun, though you can't do it with all characters in 1 run through. I'm sure they did that to add replayability, but I thought it was lame I couldn't do it all in 1 run through. You do get some cool stuff though for some characters like legendary loot or extra side quests. Lastly, there are some systems that I just did not understand or they weren't implemented well. For instance I never needed gold ever, I had so much I could just buy the best stuff every time. Also randomly there seemed to be some sort of a good/evil mechanic that popped up towards the end, but I have no idea what it did other than possibly change my conversation? Not sure. Probalby won't replay it, but I did enjoy it and I'm glad I finished it.

This is by far the best Fire Emblem clone. This game is heavy on the story which is phenomenal. The setting is more European based than Japanese anime. It still falls behind in some combat aspects, but is most similar to Three Houses. Highly recommend if you are a fan of Fire Emblem games.

I have played a lot of RPGs and strategy games. This one is just mediocre. It's not bad, but there's nothing exciting about it. Nothing that makes you want to continue playing. The gameplay is passable, I found the black mage who can do more than just attack very fun to use. But other than that there is very little difference between the characters and their usefulness in combat. The game makes us spend a lot of time at camp reading uninteresting small talk dialogue. And despite the beautiful graphics, the game doesn't really have any artistic soul, and the inexpressive characters with hollow and slow paced dialogue make the cutscenes a struggle. The dialogues are very conventional and clichéd and often it is difficult to make what is happening in the story believable. The game didn't make me want to finish it. There are better ones for less money.
