A childhood classic of mine. Blazing Blade is Fire Emblem distilled to its essential components with no bloat and no grinding. Being a GBA Fire Emblem game, it looks and plays incredibly well. It's snappy enough to be a pick-up-and-play game but has enough RPG mechanics and progression to keep you invested. The story is a bit basic and the translation has some rough parts but I find the cast to be interesting and memorable, especially if you dig into their supports. The game rewards replays and is a joy to go back to when I need a cozy comfort game.
