Having never played a Fire Emblem game before, I wasn't sure what to expect. Thankfully, it's very accomodating to new players. The story is great, the art style gorgeous, and the game play is really addictive. There's an easy mode for players who don't like the idea of losing characters in battle. Using easy mode, you can recover those characters at the end of each turn. All in all, it's a great game, and one of the most enjoyable I've played.

To review just Fire Emblem Fates Birthright, I'd give it 3.5 out of 5 stars. It builds upon the Fire Emblem Awakening gameplay with a handful of balance tweaks and a couple of new abilities, such as Dragon Veins, which allow certain characters to permanently alter areas of any given map in real time. While the writing is characteristically good for a Fire Emblem game, the story fails to maintain any real interest, and is flat out cringeworthy at times. Thankfully, the strategic gameplay is as solid as ever, and doesn't detract from the game all that much. Those looking first and foremost for a rich story in an RPG won't find it here. Fire Emblem Fates Conquest brings with it a different approach to the same conflict presented in Birthright, with a marginally better story/plot, and trickier gameplay. Enemy units are more often outfitted with skills that will trip you up if you aren't mindful, and some map objectives present a higher difficulty than that found in Birthright. Fire Emblem Fates Revelation serves as the ultimate version of the branched storyline in Fire Emblem Fates, bringing both games' casts and gameplay together to bring the story to a full and proper conclusion. I've yet to beat Revelation, but so far it is shaping up to give Conquest (my favorite) a run for its money. For those looking for a no-frills Fire Emblem game out of Fates, I'd recommend starting with Birthright. For those who are already familiar with Fire Emblem and/or want a challenge, start with Conquest. The music is absolutely excellent in all three games, and the gameplay is generally solid. Overall, I'd give Fire Emblem Fates in its entirety 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Very enjoyable gameplay with lots of usable characters. It's on the easier side, but I found hard mode to be sufficiently challenging as most my mistakes often were punished. Great storyline which had some fantastic surprises that idiot see coming. Definitely recommend it if you like these styles of games (tactics/strategy based RPGs)
