The most bland Fire Emblem game I've played. Gameplay's the same as other games, but lacks Supports, Weapon Weight, and variety in mission types. All missions boil down to 'Seize', which makes the various maps all blend together. The plot was generic and some characters didn't even have personalities. Game was counter-intuitive as well; forcing you to kill off a number of your own characters to access Gaiden chapters. Its still FE at its core so I'd play it again, but not high on to-do-list.
Criminally underrated by casuals who play on the lower difficulties and get disappointed by the ugly visuals. The game really shines on the higher difficulties, where it offers a really interesting challenge with player units that all have weaknesses to consider and try to play around. You never really have units you can truly consider totally broken with no weak point of any kind, and even though you're on the higher difficulties, it's not a game of who has the better stats at all, you can go in with absolutely shitty units and still win with your own skill and tactics
Buenísimo, un Fire Emblem genial que trae el primero de la saga y demuestra que el buen diseño de niveles lleva aquí desde el principio. Además tiene una gran historia con buenos personajes... que por alguna razón el juego parece esforzarse en NO contartela y que tengas que leertelo en internet. Además el pobre es feísimo, es un juego que no entra por los ojos, pero es buenísimo.
It's hideous. This was the second Fire Emblem game I played, and rather than bringing me into the franchise for good, it pushed me away. The story is terribly uninteresting, but that's because it's a remake of an NES game. At the end of the day it's an okay Fire Emblem game, it's just... I find it so boring.
A remake of the original Fire Emblem, this unfortunately fails to be much fun. The battle animations and maps look terrible and the story is boring (though that isn't surprising considering the original came out in 1990). I am also not a fan of the class switching mechanic here. I'm glad they let new players experience the classic, but it's just not that fun.
