Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn is an epic tactical RPG that serves as a direct sequel to Path of Radiance. It features a sweeping, multi-perspective story, challenging strategic gameplay, and a large cast of characters with interwoven relationships. While its ambitious scale leads to some uneven pacing and it's brutally difficult even for veterans of the series, Radiant Dawn offers a rewarding experience for dedicated fans with its complex systems, political intrigue, and the opportunity to see familiar faces grow and change over time.
A great Fire Emblem game that succeeds despite how confusing it is. With the game being much harder than its prequel, you rely much more on certain characters to carry you, as well as every decision vitally important. But isn't that how Fire Emblem should be? Every decision is weighty, both gameplay and story wise. A few stumbles in the story section don't detract from this game at all.
Unbeknownst to me, this is seen as one of the harder FE games - but since it was my first, I had no point of comparison. The FE series is the definitive TRPG series and this entry has lots of the things that make the series great. If you play Path of Radiance beforehand, you'd probably enjoy it even more given that it is a direct sequel to that game.
