i played birthright before i played conquest and i have to say, if i just consider this game as it's seperate thing, it's pretty decent. the characters or story aren't anything special, but it's an average game that you can have fun with.

however, after playing conquest, i am really not a fan of the fates games anymore. i don't intend to touch those games again for a few years and maybe i'm willing to give them another try in the future. perhaps there will be a remake one day, that could attempt to fix the problems of this game
