I've dabbled in Fire Emblem in the past but this was the first one I've actually played to completion. I wasn't sure what to expect based on the earlier games in the series I had tried out, but I ended up having a lot of fun. The battles felt like exciting, deadly puzzles I had to navigate (even though I was playing on casual mode). It was a pretty challenging experience; if I had been playing with permadeath, I would have been in serious touble by the end. The overall plot wasn't anything mind-blowing, but it had some standout moments and was elevated by a likeable cast. This was a great time and I'm excited to try more in the series and the wider tactics genre.
