When American and European players SUPER SMASH BROS. MELEE played on the Gamecube, they quickly realized that there join in two characters from which they never had heard - even if they may have each in their Home continents obtainable Nintendo game had Roy and Marth were two medieval knight-inspired men who knew well how to deal with their swords. Those who read through with the trophies, the back stories of the two characters, found out quickly that they were dealing here with figures from the Fire Emblem series. This had so far not released outside of Japan. This changed in 2003 and 2004, when the Game Boy Advance spin-Fire Emblem: Rekka No Ken has been published under the simple title FIRE EMBLEM in the U.S. and Europe. Since then, the latest part of the series published worldwide. The previously released on the NES and SNES episodes were non-Japanese players, but only once denied.
This changed in 2008 when, under the title Fire Emblem - Shadow Dragon is a DS remake of the very first part of NES in Japan and Europe, came a short time later in the U.S. market. In Fire Emblem is a mix of strategy and role-playing: some way out to an army of various units of different species over a card. To the obstinate opponents, on the death of the hero character - "Marth" in the case of SHADOW DRAGON - are made to resist, one must employ certain combat skills of his troops. In addition to attacking properties, there are also units that heal steal, and spells. Each unit, which has defeated an enemy, receives experience points. If one has collected enough, increasing the unit referred to an experience level, providing for certain properties such as life energy, strength, magic resistance, etc. are improved. When you reach the goal of a map (which is usually associated with the defeat of the leader of the opposing army), puts it before the next board. Between levels, you have the possibility to equip the units with new weapons and set up his army for the next task. Moreover, here the story in the form of still images is presented in dialogues and retold both screens sized paintings.
The background is told as a fully playable tutorial. way: The young warrior Marth is apparently the last survivor of the royal house of Altea. Once, when the shadow dragon Medeus Akeinia the continents with the evil ruler Gharnef conquered the Alteaner were by their neighbors who had joined Medeus betrayed and overwhelmed. Marth years later, an army of resistance fighters. With her he wants to rid the continent, the throne of Altea and punish the murderers of his family. To achieve this he has the sacred sword of his father and the mysterious find Fire Emblem . Is the only way he gets the power that is necessary to Gharnef both the evil and destroy Medeus.
The original FIRE EMBLEM SHADOW DRAGON been replaced with his second remake, since Japan in 1994 exclusively on the SNES, such a landing. The DS version, however, can boast one more reamed technique side. Although the graphics win any beauty prizes, but it is always appropriate and clear (which can not be said of other strategy games like Age of Empires on the DS). Although the cutscenes are kept rather simple, they manage to spread a nice mix of Japanese manga and European flair of the Middle Ages. The sound effects are rather spartan, a voice you search in vain. For , the ears of beautifully orchestrated music, which have nothing but catchy melodies, exposed. Although you can play the game via keyboard, is useful to use SHADOW DRAGON complete with stylus.
self flying horses against our hero Marth (what's this for ever in a name?) No chance. Although I have thanks to the GBA, Gamecube and Wii parts already read much good about the series, SHADOW DRAGON is the first time that I even dare to approach FIRE EMBLEM. And I was impressed right: apart from the clean technology and superior control of the game has a high addiction factor. After each Round says: "Just one more round!", After each level: "Just one more level!" And again a few hours have passed. That it is each unit to an individual with the background, you are highly motivated to get through every card possible without loss. Unfortunately, save only at certain save points, so there must often be restarted once, wants to save as many units. A better storage option would be have been preferable. Also is associated with the individual units that you can not foresee exactly when you can do what character in the game to attract a major new addition for my Army. In such cases helps then only a complete restart of the game. It's annoying especially at the end of the game when the difficulty attracting. If one much less perfection of the day, these criticisms are less significant.
My personal introduction to the world of Fire Emblem would not thrilling to fail. While there are some flaws here and there, and also in terms of tactics, there's certainly some room for improvement, but that does nothing more than to the otherwise successful overall package. Who exciting and atmospheric Fantasy investigated for its DS should access here. Countless hours finest game fun are guaranteed. I will for my part, I now look after the most recent Wii episode.
