Only a few hours in but so far this has been a much different FE game than Awakening and the Fates series. With that being said, it's still a really great game and I've been enjoying it.

This game is incredibly polished. The story is great. Combat was stripped down, and simplified. It also lets you go back a turn or two. It's very accessible to new FE players.

I am a newer Fire Emblem fan and only played the two previous 3DS games. Echoes isn't bad at all. Its a slightly different then the previous two but I enjoyed it quite a bit. I am still working my way through the game but I really wish it was ported over to Nintendo Switch. My 3DS just feels out of date!

Really awesome remake of an older game that many people didn't get to play. It has dungeon exploring in the same vein of Zelda which is super cool to bring to the Fire Emblem franchise.

This is a remake of fire emblem that was never released in the US, so if you are fan of previous fire emblem games its a good pick up to see the early ones

This game is very fun but it is a little different than recent FE games. I was very accustomed to pairing units so they could work together and you can't do that in this game. Also they don't assist each other if they are adjacent to one another either. The exploration stuff is pretty fun too.

Fire emblem Echoes has an amazing story with some tedious macanics that don't hinder the experience. It bridges old fans with new ones and I greatly appreciate that. 5 stars!

Fire Emblem: Shadows of Valentia is a new entry in the long running strategy RPG series. This is a great new entry, and if you like the series, you'll like this game as well.

After reading the reviews I was expecting a less than perfect fire emblem game however after playing it I love how classic the gameplay feels. One of my favorite 3DS games.

A remake of a previously released game in Japan, we in the U.S. now get to experience the differences in gameplay from the newer games, and it's still fun and entertaining.

I enjoyed the story and the mechanics of the mages and archers. I also liked how the game wasn't too easy to beat either. It also haS DLCs coming for which adds to content

Fire Emblem goes back to its roots as it reimagines an earlier game. Don't let that fool you into thinking this game is the same. Turn based action as well 3D dungeons and excellent character animations all add up to a great package. If you're a fan of the series don't miss this game.

This felt different then a lot of the recent 3DS and DS fire emblems. But that isn't a bad thing. I liked the change of pace with the same old fire emblem charm.

This is my first FE game, and halfway in it looks like it won’t be my last. Excited to play the others in the series, and to see what FE Switch will be!
