Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
About the Game
Path of Radiance is the first installment in the Fire Emblem series to have 3D. Set on the Tellius continent, a soldier called Ike rescues the princess of Crimea and finds out that the Daein kingdom has invaded the country. He must guide her with his fellow mercenaries to Gallia. During the journey, the true reasons for the war are revealed.
Story & Setting
The maps have different scenarios, where you have to rescue a certain character, create distractions to move past enemies, or kill certain foes. The game is heavy on anime-styled story sequences. In order to continue with the story, only the team leaders need to survive.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Each turn, you can only move a set amount of spaces over the grid. Turns can be used to visit locations, use items, or attack enemies. You do not fight yourself, instead, you control the items and weapons to influence the stats, and make use of the enemies' weaknesses. Characters can equip a range of weapons and possess magical abilities.
Standout Features
- Fire Emblem: As with all Fire Emblem games, the characters are unique individuals that cannot be revived when they fall in battle.
- Upon discovering 'hidden purposes', unique abilities can be acquired.
Presentation & Atmosphere
Display support includes Progressive Scan (480p). Audio support includes Dolby Pro Logic II.
