While the series has come a long way and introduced many new mechanics, some of which players have taken for granted, Fire Emblem Echoes goes back to basics – weapon durability is gone, single items can only be held, and the noted Weapons Triangle (strengths and weaknesses) is absent too.Ĭharacters are represented by unique character classes which dictate their weapons and actions, which includes Mages having to sacrifice health points to use magic, and so on. While retaining the same tactical RPG gameplay the series is well-known for, Fire Emblem Echoes is extremely different to the previous instalments on the 3DS – and the biggest reason for this is the fact that it is a remake. Further worsened by Zofia’s General Desaix and Rigel’s King Rudolf, the battle threatens to leave the continent of Valentia in ruin, and to destroy the friendship held so dear to Alm and Celica.
At the heart of this conflict are two childhood friends in Alm and Celica, forced to take up arms against one another and lead their armies into war. The nation of Zofia, dedicated to the Goddess Mila, and the nation of Rigel, following the Dark God Duma, are pitted against one another in conflict. Now, 25 years after its initial release, Fire Emblem Gaiden gets a full-scale remake for the 3DS in what could be seen as aswansong for the handheld with Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. But the franchise has its roots deeply embedded in the origins of Nintendo, first appearing in Japan on the Famicom in 1990 and following up with a sequel in 1992. To most gamers, the Fire Emblem series truly took off when Awakening was released for the 3DS in 2013.
