Customers are saying

Customers praise the enjoyable gameplay, compelling story, and stellar voice acting in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. Many appreciate the game's unique dungeon crawling elements and consider it a great remake of a classic title. While some found the map design less engaging than in other entries, the absence of the weapon triangle system was also noted. Overall, the game is lauded for its challenging yet accessible difficulty and beautiful art style.

    I played majority of the FE series and this one brings previous experiences with a tweaked level difference to it. It is a good game.

    I bought this game to support the Franchise. The biggest part I was disappointed by: The maps seem fairly large with not nearly as much strategy as past entries that made it to NA. I started with FE: (Blazing Blade) and that remains my favorite. A large portion of this is the weapons triangle in most recent entries feels off kilter. I like the story layout and organization. So the reason I'm giving this a rather low rating, is because I got pretty bored by Stage III, however someday I'll go back and finish this b/c I know an epic conclusion to the story awaits me. No amazing Critical animations found here!!! Bring back amazing criticals IntSys!!!!!

    I have played the other games of this title; I really enjoy this over the others. The open dungeon is a nice twist on gameplay. The tactics style fighting is always a chess strategy, but the mix of chess and exploration is nice.

    This game satisfied a SRPG itch in a big way. It is so good I want to hunt down all the other 3DS games in the series.

    A great game for those who like tactical rpgs. With different difficulties and "classic" mode it's a game that's easy to learn and hard to master. New features make the game much more lenient than previous games in the serious.

    I enjoyed this "remake" very much. The voice acting made me wince occasionally but the story was good and the combat "on hard mode" was punishing. Nothing hurts as much as having a character die and losing them forever.

    Nothing will ever top Path of Radiance for me when it comes to this franchise, but having these strategy games available on the go is always a treat. It's Fire Emblem, so it's hard to mess it up

    I had a lot of fun with this game and the characters. It is a remake of an early game in the series. A few minor flaws due to commitment by the developers, but a lot of fun overall.
