Players alternate turns with opponents, moving their pieces (units) and attacking enemy units on the battlefield. There are dozens of units and different weapons and magic spells, each with its own strategic benefits-high-flying Pegasus knights move effortlessly over varied terrain, fast-moving mounted cavaliers can use swords and lances, unarmed curates use healing staves to mend the wounds of other units and so on.Characters: Many groups play a part in a story but undoubtedly the story's protagonist, Prince Marth, will be the focus for most.

At Marth's side is a support of fearless fighters, including the brave Caeda, a princess of the Talys kingdom.

This is a nice Fire Emblem game. It integrates the characters we've seen in the Nintendo Wii's Smash Bros. games. It's not as great to get you to truly care about the characters like the Wii Fire Emblem game did but its still a nice game.

When i purchased this game i expected a high quality TBS and it delivered, the only drawback of this game is in the genre not the making of. TBS is a incomplete form of strategy and therefore once you figure out the rather simple tricks the missions become a breeze, but i would not hold that against the game if this is something you enjoy.

The gameplay will be familiar to those who have played previous FE ... Read More
