11 years later, the 3DS is still home to the best Fire Emblem game

That’s right. It’s been over a decade since Fire Emblem Awakening was released for the Nintendo 3DS. The amount of games available (or, at least, that were available) for the NDS and 3DS exceeds thousands. Yet, still, Fire Emblem Awakening reigns strong as one of the very best – as well as one of the best entries in the Fire Emblem series. And that’s no mean feat.

I started playing Fire Emblem Awakening for the first time just a few weeks ago. I first had a ‘Newcomer’ run going on; I made some mistakes (reclassed my units too early, relied on a promoted unit to mop up too many battles, and so forth) so I started again with some new knowledge shared by my friends.

Starting over wasn’t the drag you would expect it to be, either. Because the game is just so damn good, I was excited to experience the beginning of Awakening all over again, and I even found myself more connected to my characters as a result. All the charming knights, mages, and tacticians, who form relationships of their own with each other while out on the battlefield… I felt I was getting to know them better, too.
