    I wanted to like this game more, but it gets too long to get started with an endless tutorial trough multiple missions. Characters are not well developed like the Consoles games and few strategic tools, basically just move and attack/heal... still lots of content after the first playtrough if you want to dive into.

    Anime is dumb, I havent played this game but I see too much anime. Less anime it would be better. And less people with purple or green hair, that looks lame.

    I've played this game just after finishing Awakening and it shows. The characters are all fun and the story is nothing special but here are my 2 bigger complains
    1: no support. In FE awakening, I really liked the support system, which is absent in this one
    2: The difficulty. I really suck at video games, so I prefered Awakening's choice to turn permadeath on or off. If you like hard    I've played this game just after finishing Awakening and it shows. The characters are all fun and the story is nothing special but here are my 2 bigger complains

    Turn-based strategy set in a fantasy world of swords and dragons that's a little shallow and repetitive compared to the mighty Advance Wars, but still has enough going for it to please fans of the genre.

    It's a game with real heart that fans of Japanese RPGs can't fail to fall in love with. It's also the best turn-based title on the Game Boy Advance since the original "Advance Wars."

    Provides an excellent story-driven, but more linear, alternative to the likes of "Advance Wars," for the budding portable strategist.

    Offers up some solid gameplay, sharp visuals, likable character designs, and a fairly compelling (if somewhat typical) story. Fans of "Advance Wars" will particularly enjoy it. [Dec 2003, p.102]
