    If you're a Fire Emblem fan, I think you would really enjoy this one. The combat system is a bit simpler than the previous 3DS games, but this has a pretty long story, the art style is really nice, and is fully voice acted.

    The additions made in Echoes, such as full voice acting and the 3d dungeons, go a long way in enhancing a classic series. I hope to see further modernization of the series while maintaining it's perfect strategy elements.

    Fun Tactical Game

    If you like tactical games, where you have to plan out your moves to try to stay one step ahead of the enemy, Fire Emblem is for you. It has engaging characters and story elements, too, so it has some RPG depth to keep things flowing. I've liked Fire Emblem since the first one I played, and this one delivers just like the others.

    As one who has only played about 3 FE games(including echoes), I'm relatively new to the franchise. So it marked a pretty interesting shift from the previous games and the set up that I was used to. I feel that most of them are positive changes though. Dungeon exploring was a lot more immersive and expansive than the trailer showed them to be.The battle system is also a lot more direct, I feel. Characters and story enjoy a nice upgrade from Fates, which I liked. Most likely because its a remake of sorts. Nevertheless, it introduces new aspects to the old formula of gridded turn-based which made the experience unique and fun in most cases. It's also nice to not have to worry about marriage when setting up support systems. That is just my opinion, though.

    I am relatively new to the Fire Emblem games. This is my second game, and I absolutely love it! The quality is great and the music is amazing!! I only wish that this had the option of the Japanese audio.... but overall this is great and I totally recommend this to any fan of FE or whoever just wants to have a great experience :)

    It's a remake of an older, Japan-only Fire Emblem, but brought into the modern age with great voice acting performances and certain gameplay additions. Definitely worth playing if you enjoyed the last two 3DS games.

    Another Good FE Game

    Great remake for fans of the series. Originally a Famicom game, this is a full remake with updated mechanics, quality (for 3DS) graphics, and great music. Though slightly different from Fates and Awakening, this will be familiar to those who played previous Fire Emblem games. Another solid entry, but I hope the next mainline FE game is on Switch!

    This game is completely different from Awakening and Fates. One of the best parts of this game is the voice acting but the story is pretty good too. The battles may seem repititive but that's just how it is.

    Guys, the third person aspect of this game takes place infrequently in these dungeon like locations across the map. Those segments are SO COOL. This game has all your favorite fire emblem tactics, except for the weapons breaking, I still miss that feature. Also, be sure to play it on hard mode. It is not as challenging as the Fates conquest and Birthright series. Hard mode is still very easy to me. Also there is a roll back time feature in this game, in case you get a terrible RNG and perm lose a unit you can rewind time in a battle a few times. This game is a little tiny bit easy, but the story is amazing and those unique third person experiences are truly something. I hope for more like this in the future!!

    This is the best Fire Emblem game yet. It is almost fully voiced and the voice acting is really really great. The graphics are beautiful, the play experience is smooth and the music is top notch. Love it.
