Call me a bit old-fashioned, but sometimes I like things a little more direct. A written card instead of an evite. A face-to-face talk instead of a Twitter DM. Or a straightforward strategy RPG that gets right to the point and lets me learn from my mistakes. Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia – a well-done remake of 1992’s Fire Emblem: Gaiden – is exactly that, and it makes me happy.
War and tactics are the backbone of any Fire Emblem, and – surprise! – the story is all about guiding not one but two armies led by a pair star-crossed teens named Alm and Celica against an evil empire attempting to conquer the continent of Valentia (because there is always an evil empire). A hackneyed premise? Yup, but it still makes for a good soap opera, one that wildly oscillates between joy and sorrow as the heroes slowly unspool the truth behind the unending war. The ensuing drama is even better when fortified by the addition of well-made animated cutscenes and strong voice acting.
