Awaken to the best game available for your 3DS!

User Rating: 9.5 | Fire Emblem: Kakusei 3DS
Fire Emblem Awakening is the 13th game in this often under appreciated but remarkable Nintendo franchise. For those that live in the US this is your 6th available Fire Emblem title. The game encompasses all the best aspects from previous entries such as romantic support and the world map as well as incorporating new strategic elements such as pairing up units or the redesigned class switching system. Let's jump in!

The story in this title follows the noble Chrom, head of the Shepards and Prince of Ylisse, as well as the character's created male/female avatar as the newest member of the Shepards and amnesiac tactitian. I won't say too much to give the plot away but the story spans the entire continent where the fate of the world, the future, and the present all hang in the balance of what your forces do. The game spans 27 story missions with the prologue, as well as having 20+ paralogue missions and eventually there will be up to 25 dlc missions for players to finish. The dlc often allows players to recruit characters from previous titles in the series and if that isn't your thing then they are replayable allowing for exp and support grinding.

With the many missions and all the possible relationships a player can set up in this game; there is quite a bit of replay value. The story is fantastic, the music is top notch, and the gameplay is best in series. I'm sure there is more I could say but I've never been great at reviews and I need to get back to it, I'm about halfway through my second playthrough :P A must play game on the 3DS, so play it!
