Let me just say something before we get started; I LOVE FIRE EMBLEM!!! This was my first Fire Emblem game, and is still my favorite, even after the release of Fates and Heroes. This game has so much to offer, so lets go ahead and get into this!

Graphics: For the Nintendo 3DS, the graphics are stunning. They are the most realistic of any Fire Emblem game ever when battling, and during the story segments the anime art-style compliments the game's tone nicely. But the real kicker out of all of this are the fully-animated, 60FPS, CGI, anime-art style cutscenes! They are BEAUTIFUL!!! They add so much more emotion and depth to the story and characters. Just look up the cutscenes on Youtube; you'll be amazed; and it's on the 3DS! These are PS4 quality cutscenes!

Sound: The soundtrack is again, amazing, but this is to be expected from a Fire Emblem game. I like how when you are viewing the battlefield, it has a calmer, slower tune, but as soon as you enter combat, a more up-beat, action-oriented version of the same song picks up right where the other left off. My favorite track has to be "Conquest," which was actually so good it was carried over into the Fire Emblem: Fates sountrack.

Addictiveness: This game is very addictive. When I first played it, I made it to chapter 7 within 4 hours of playtime! There is a lot more to this game than it seems, but I will cover that in the "Depth" section.

Story: In this section I will quickly summarize the plot of the game. Be warned: there are spoilers ahead. The game begins with your avatar and the other main character and prince of Ylisse, Chrom, taking down a mysterious man named Validar. Before you defeat him, Validar uses the last of his power to force you into killing Chrom. Your avatar then awakens in a field with Chrom, and his younger sister, Lissa, standing over you. You realize that you have no memories of how you got there, or anything before Chrom woke you up. You then join Chrom's Shepherds: a group of warriors dedicated to keeping peace in Ylisse and the surrounding kingdoms. The reigning monarch of Ylisse, exalt Emmeryn approves, and you join the group. That night, a mysterious portal opens, and patchwork zombie-like creatures called Risen begin to attack. However, before the portal can close, another figure leaps through: a woman going by the name of Marth, which is also the name of the first exalt of Ylisse. After saving Lissa's life, Marth mysteriously disappears. The Shepherds then march to the neighboring kingdom of Regna Ferox to request support in suppressing the Risen. East Khan Flavia then explains that she is not in full power, the West Khan Basilio is. She then explains that the tournament to determine the next reigning Khan is the next day, and that if the Shepherds represent her in the tournament, she will grant the alliance. The next day, the West Khan's champion is revealed as none other than Marth, who wields the divine blade Falchion, which is the exact same sword that Chrom wields! After defeating Marth, she helps you prevent an attempt to assassinate Emmeryn by King Gangrel of Plegia, who wants a mystical relic called the Fire Emblem to eradicate the Ylissians as revenge for a war instigated by Emmeryn's father. Emmeryn sacrifices herself to protect the Fire Emblem, and Chrom slays Gangrel. Skip forward 2 years, and Chrom is married and has a baby daughter named Lucina. A new threat is revealed in the neighboring continent of Valm, which has been conquered by an emperor named Walhart, and he now seeks to conquer Ylisse, as well as Ferox and Plegia. On the way to defeat him, Chrom runs into Marth again. It is revealed that she is actually a version of Lucina from the future, where Grima, the fell dragon slain by the First Exalt, and that only by gathering the five gemstones to complete the Fire Emblem can Grima be stopped.
Wow. That was long. That isn't even the entire plot! But yeah. That's the story.

Depth: As shown above, the story offers so much depth it will take you at least 30 hours to complete the main story alone. There are also Paralouges, where after getting two units of your army married, you can recruit one of their children, who traveled back with Lucina to prevent Grima's resurrection. There are also the DLC maps, in which you can recruit Enhairji, which are clones of characters from previous Fire Emblem Games.

Difficulty: In traditional Fire Emblem style, there are the Normal, Hard, and Lunatic difficulties, but there is also the new Casual mode, where units don't die permaneantly

Just gonna start off by saying that Casual Mode was a thing WAY before Awakening. Check out New Mystery of the Emblem for DS.



Now to be honest, it's a bit of a stretch to say that Awakening was the best Fire Emblem title. Plenty of the older ones, such as Radiant Dawn or Blazing Blade, have equally memorable characters, music, and story. In fact, Awakening falls behind in some categories, most notably plot holes and illogical decisions.



However, I can't help but admit that it did it's job. It was, quite literally, the one chance to save the franchise- and it did. By pulling in the best mechanics from all the prior games, adding Einherjar for the ultimate nostalgia trip, and adding new quirks to the overall play style- most notably children and dual supports- they managed to attract old fans back and bring in new ones- all while making the transition to the 3DS. THAT is impressive.



So overall, I'll have to agree that it was a great game, one of the best, if not THE best.

And we can all agree that it was better than Fates.
