IMO the best executed story of an army led by feudal lords, culminating in a showdown against a dark supernatural threat within the series.

Obvious weaknesses are the difficulty and length, but I feel like this game delivers on the best maps and mechanics in the GBA trilogy, so those can be overlooked.

Where this game his the homerun is how while some of the monster type use the same weapons you'd see on human enemies, meaning you're employing the same satisfying weapon triangle strategy (different game) in those encounters.

We will never get a desert map as fun as Scorched Sand ever again.
