Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia 2017

Is it still worth playing?

Intelligent Systems' 2017 tactical role playing game for the Nintendo 3DS, a remake of the 1992 Famicom game Fire Emblem Gaiden, in which Alm and Celica each travel Valentia to restore peace. You command two armies, on opposing sides. Battles are turn based on a grid, with the view shifting to third person during attacks. In them, the weapon triangle and weapon durability are gone, and each unit carries one weapon that unlocks Combat Arts as it levels up. How forgiving it is depends on you. A device called the Turnwheel rewinds turns a limited number of times. Beyond that, the standard mode uses permanent death, though fallen units can be revived a few times, while Casual Mode revives units after each battle. A game you can set to be as forgiving as you like still suits more than one kind of player today.
