The age of this remake is noticeable but it was still a joy to finally march with Prince Marth.

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon is a remake of the first Fire Emblem Game. It's a SRPG but unlike most SRPG's when one of your characters dies they stay dead. This makes every move you make on the field of battle very important and tactical. The game overall is quite simple, you are in control of a army of freedom fighters and your goal is to liberate your old kingdom and others from a evil wizard and the shadow dragon. You go on mission after mission defeating one area after another until you free your kingdom and destroy the forces of evil.

At the beginning of most missions you organize your army for the up coming battle then begin. The objective of most battles is to get Prince Marth your armies leader to the end bosses location and defeat the boss then seize that location. The actual combat is turn based and the battle field is grid based. You get many different kinds of soldiers and recruit more and more as you progress thru the game. This is important because you will lose many along the way as well.

This game took me 28 hours to finish, but I will play it again some day. It is very fun and makes you think a lot about your strategies. The graphics are nothing great and there's not much character interaction but its still a very good game and I enjoyed it.
