Within this mode, players are able to construct a kingdom with preset buildings, stat-raising statues, defenses, and various resource generators. That's not to say that it's without its additions though, as Fire Emblem Fates has implemented a base-building feature. Those simply hoping for more of the same, however, are in for just that, and will almost certainly enjoy their time trying to invade the kingdom of Hoshido. Anyone that played the aforementioned Awakening won't be surprised by what's offered here, and that may present itself as a little disheartening for anyone looking for something new. Still, a lack of upgrades has made Conquest feel like an expansion of its predecessor more than a real evolution of the series.
It's all still there and it's all largely untouched, which is exactly what longstanding fans will want to hear. Every class features a weakness, a certain amount of movement spaces allotted to them, and friendships amongst fellow soldiers that can be built up to make them a better team on the battlefield. As a result, those that played through the previous entry in the series, Awakening, will feel right at home, as it's largely the same. Veterans curious as to whether the gameplay holds up will find solace in the fact that it sticks to the tried and true turn-based antics of its predecessors. It's not possible to save mid-battle for those playing on Classic mode though, which is a silly oversight given how long some of the battles turn out to be. That's the beauty of this Fire Emblem though, as it allows fans to jump in and jump out at a moment's notice. It's an incredibly pickup-and-play friendly turn-based strategy game, but it still offers those hoping to sink hours of their time into a single playthrough a wide range of different battlefields and foes to conquer.
It's almost like a friendlier version of Game of Thrones, with an addictive style of gameplay that will pull gamers in for multiple hour-long sessions in any given day. That said, gamers that find themselves taking that route are in for one of the toughest campaigns the series has seen yet.įor those new to the series, they'll quickly find that the narrative is one of the more engaging aspects of Fire Emblem Fates. Along the way, players are introduced to new friends, loveable companions will die, and allies will turn on you. Despite siding with the evil kingdom of Nohr, however, the player's protagonist (who's default name is Corrin) is still a rather nice gal/guy, so there's no substantial slip to the Dark Side as some fans may have initially suspected. There's little doubt that Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest delivers on every front that it promised fans, serving up an interesting narrative and tough-as-nails gameplay.īeing bad has never felt so good, at least, that's what players that opt to go down the dark and twisted path featured in Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest will quickly learn.
