Full in depth review of the new SRPG for 3DS, "Fire Emblem Echoes Shadows of Valentia".
More:
"Fire Emblem Echoes is a remake of the 1992 NES game Fire Emblem Gaiden, and curiously it’s in its story that it sees the most striking changes and updates. The bigger picture stuff remains the same: dual protagonists Alm and Celica battling in a war that has consumed Valentia. But Echoes adds in extra characters, loads of narrative wrinkles and entirely new chapters that add some emotional clout to the civil war and tie the game into other titles in the series (no doubt in preperation for the exciting Fire Emblem Warriors musou game that’s coming soon.) Whilst the original game was focused on battles and dungeoneering, Echoes never forgets to make the most of its powerful story. There are plenty of twists and turns in the campaign, a thirty-odd hour experience that sees you playing as and getting to know both Alm and Celica’s band of warriors."
