Hey, this game is really good. No surprise from such a consistently quality series, but I feel like this one reaches new heights. A great, natural transition to 3D that feels effortless and fun, inventive levels all the way through. The "ruins of civilization" theme adds a lot to the game and gives it a unique melancholy. It also has a great soundtrack and an amazing finishing strech.
Yes this is a real game that I really finished. I started it for a laugh because, ya know, Christmas, and its easy and short so I figured what the hell I'll see it through. It's not actually a bad game, just wholly unspectacular. Everything controls like you'd want, not a guarantee in a 16 bit platformer, has some charming visuals and music. If you're in a Christmasy mood and have an hour or so to spare, give it a whirl.
Its Fire Emblem so its very fun inherently for me. This game's breed of FE gameplay is not really what I like, with the big focus on skills and damage calculations, and the need to plan a lot in advance; I prefer the more freewheeling nature of say, Awakening, or the mad chaos of Thracia. I still enjoyed it a lot for what it is, I'm just glad the whole series isn't like this, yknow. The presentation of all Fates games is great, the music especially is superb. The story sucks but most Fire Emblem stories do so whatever, I don't care. A very fun and well put together game.

Very good game, but gets a little long in the tooth and drags at points. Certain things like the camera can be annoying and finnicky. Everything else is good to great, and the unique look and sound of the game go a long way to making it a memorable experience. Enjoyed it a lot overall.
