Battles tend to feel a little bit more balanced than on other games, with less traps waiting to catch you out (like corridors full of archers, or mages that can target literally any space in an entire room). While you'll still have to think about how to approach each fight, Echoes seems to generally be a more forgiving game. Whilst seasoned pros can play in Classic mode on Hard difficulty, meaning if any of your characters fall on the battlefield, they'll be "perma-dead", and you'll never get them back, beginners can play in Casual mode on Normal difficulty, which disables perma-death (so anyone who falls in battle will be back fully healed at the start of the next fight), and gives players a much easier time. How easy is Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia to pick up and play?ĭespite the series' somewhat hardcore reputation, Fire Emblem Echoes has a number of options to make it easy for those who've never played a strategy role playing game to find their footing here. New features for Echoes include 3D dungeons you can explore from a third person perspective (with any battles you get into causing the game to transition to a traditional top-down Fire Emblem strategy battle), and towns/villages you can explore to gain new equipment, troops and resources. Luckily, selecting an enemy unit will show you its range and where it can attack, whilst pressing X will bring up an overlay showing you the total range of all enemy units combined - effectively revealing where you can place your weaker troops to keep them safe. By keeping an eye on your opponent's range, it's up to you to use the right units to take out the right enemies, being sure to position your units in the best place to take out your foes, whilst not leaving any of your weaker units exposed. Played from a top-down perspective, these grid based encounters see you face off against a group of foes that usually outnumber and outgun you - and it's up to you to figure out how to best use your troops to bring them toppling down.Īlong with having their own distinct personalities, each of your units has its own class, whether it's a tough yet slow Knight, a magic wielding Mage, or a ranged specialist like an Archer, with each having their own strengths and weaknesses, and their own special uses. Hopping from location to location on the game's world map, Fire Emblem is a game of reading through visual novel style dialogue exchanges and cutscenes, exploring towns, cities and dungeons, and, perhaps most importantly, taking part in loads of strategic battles.
