Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones Reviews
Grandson lost his original Fire Emblem game, but was glad he found it on Amazon
It's a good mix of combat and strategy into one excellent game. This is a great game and if you've ever played it you probably agree with me.
One of the best games i have ever played. Great replay value. Great buy for everyone. fun strategy game worth the price.
But when you take down the final boss and get to read the future fate of every unit you acquired over the course of the game, the satisfaction is worth every bit of that frustration and difficulty. Because every unit lost is a person that you've gotten to know. This is a very difficult game, but in the end it's well worth it. This fact influences every single move you make in this game. The graphics are good, considering they're on the GBA, and the combat animations are well done.
If this tells you anything, my girlfriend borrowed this game from me several months ago. If you've got the patience for it then this game should not be passed up. The story draws the player in and doesn't let go. But Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones encourages, no, demands perfection. No revive spell, no item to bring them back. Bottom Line:. The Fire Emblem games are famous for their unforgiving nature. You can build friendships and relationships between units, which will influence what their end story will be.
On top of the story, the gameplay is every bit as good. And so as the game tells the story of a rag-tag group of soldiers surviving and even winning in the face of overwhelming odds, that story becomes very personal. It actually makes the game that much better. She now owns my GBA and this game simply for the fact that she won't give them back. When a characters dies, they're gone.
The characters didn't just win, you, as the player, won. This is the first Fire Emblem game I played, and I bought it as a way to pass the time spent in the car when my family moved. You can customize units as they grow and change class, determining what types of weapons and skills they get. The music is nice, but sometimes a bit repetitive. Yeah, it's incredibly frustrating at times. And when you finally do beat a particularly challenging level without losing anyone, you feel very proud of the fact that you just conquered a force much larger than your own, and did it without taking one casualty. And while that sounds like the formula for an incredibly frustrating game, it's not.
It's this very personal connection that you develop with the characters and their plight that makes the story so compelling, and what makes this game so good. Never did I think a strategy game could engross me so completely. They're dead. In many cases, you risked another character to even get this person to join your team. If they die, you turn off your GBA and try again. Sure, it's hard. In other games, as long as you win the battle you win.
It kind of repeated itself and missions always seemed the same. It was okay. good for a road trip or boredom but nothing to get totally immersed in.
