Fire Emblem: Awakening is a blazing return to form for the strategy RPG genre, and well worth adding to your 3DS library.
Even after you complete the main quest, the game doesn't stop there. Side missions, additional battles, Street Pass features, and heaps of other goodies round out the content sphere for an avalanche of Fire Emblem goodness that should keep you coming back for more long after yo've finished what you set out to do. This is an absolutely gorgeous game as well. Rich, detailed environments, units, and even the characters themselves have had a massive makeover from the old days of handheld Fire Emblem and now sport an attractive, 3D-rendered style like that of later Final Fantasy Tactics games. It's also rocking some glossy backing tunes as well that fit the tone of this departure to a T. It's a fantastic, well-put together package whose elements combine seamlessly.
Fire Emblem: Awakening is undoubtedly one of the best strategy RPG titles to hit the 3DS, and owners looking to augment their collection further should certainly pick it up. It acts as a great started for those looking to get into the genre and Fire Emblem in general. If you buy one 3DS game right now, it should certainly be this one.
