Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia is a tactical role-playing game that was released for the Nintendo 3DS in May of 2017, being developed by Intelligent Systems and published by none other than Nintendo itself. The game is a full remake of the 1992 title of Fire Emblem Gaiden - the second game apart of the Fire Emblem Series - and it carries over the core gameplay mechanics of the series while yet still incorporating some older and newer elements as well.
Following childhood friends Alm and Celica as they fight on opposite sides of a war between their respective nations, players will command two separate armies in a turn-based system on the continent of Valentia. Players can select the level of difficulty to either Normal or Hard, as well as select either Classic or Casual Mode. In Classic Mode, a fallen unit is subject to permanent death (though it is possible to revive fallen units a limited number of times throughout); in Casual Mode, fallen units will always be revived at the end of a battle. Players will also navigate through Valencia using a world map, going to different story-based and optimal locations for the Storyline and battling to continue.
The game is divided in several sections called Acts, where a player will battle using both main characters until Act 3. At this point in the game, one will be able to bounce back and forth between fighting as Alm and the Resistance or Celica and her band of dedicate followers and friends at will. Differing units will be available to a player depending on which character's story they choose along the way, and some quests and events will be dependant solely upon what happens on the other character's path. Because of this, strategy is key and will differ from one character to the next, from one player to another. (The same could be said from one's experiences to someone else's.)
