Is it still worth playing?
Three versions with different storylines about the same characters make up this tactical role playing game for the Nintendo 3DS, released in 2015 in Japan and 2016 internationally. Corrin, the customizable main character, is drawn into a war between Hoshido, where they were born, and Nohr, where they were raised. The player customizes the main character's gender, appearance and name and picks from Normal, Hard and Lunatic. One mode removes a fallen unit for good, Casual Mode revives units after a battle and Phoenix Mode revives them on the next turn. Birthright offers chances to earn extra gold and experience, while Conquest gives limited experience and currency per map and adds objectives such as defending a base. Choosing how much a loss costs lets a player find a difficulty that suits them, and that is still a good idea.
