About

Two versions of the franchise's new installment offer players an unprecedented choice: fight an opposing force or join the other side and try to make changes from within. For the first time in the series, players take on the role of the main character and command an army, while struggling to decide which path to follow: helping blood relatives or the family that raised him or her.

    The truth is that Conquest isn't really all that different to Awakening, but that's a hard thing to complain about. Awakening was a hell of a game, and so too is this. In some ways it's even superior - there's subtle changes to the game's already-excellent presentation, a wider variety of mission objectives than ever and generally more satisfying combat beats. Equally there's a few bits that are worse - things like offspring are poorly justified in the narrative where in Awakening they were central, and I find none of the cast to be as memorable as Awakening's best.

    As far as Conquest goes, this one is not for the Fire Emblem novice. This game suggests that you are familiar with many workings of the games and the new additions are explained once and then forgotten about a mission later, leaving you to your own devices. On top of that, no real way to grind for levels or earn money make this one of the most difficult Fire Emblem games I have ever played and at times one of the most tedious.
