Not recommended This game on not worthy of the title The Legend of Zelda. While the top-down view does remind of A Link to the Past, this game plays nothing like it. You'll feel like it was designed for a 12 year old girl. The puzzles, which are the bulk of the game, a very simplistic. You can literally solve most problems by stacking items. Combat is tedious. Most of the time, you'll be waiting for your echoes to complete a fight. In fact, you'll look forward to your echoes getting wiped out so you'll have something to do. Abilities you'll earn through the story are only useful in a small amount of situations. If you tried to use them throughout your gameplay, you'll quickly run out of the resource required to maintain it. I completed the game game, at a leisurely pace, in around 30 hours. I was close to getting every secret in that time. I'm not interested in replaying AT ALL. Not worth the price of admission. For $60US, you at least want some replay value but you won't find that here. Save your money for Pokemon Z-A.

I'm a long-time fan of the fire emblem franchise, really liking most installments, and I wanted to like this one but, with the latest dlc release, I hate it and am ashamed I purchased the game/bundle. I purchased the game and season pass together. I wish I hadn't. The story is as generic as one told by an eight year old. There's nothing redeemable about this installment at all. It's combat and obtaining new allies and nothing more you couldn't get for free from one those gotcha games. There is no New Game Plus and post game activities consist of, you guessed it, more combat. What makes my experience worse is the dlc. The second dlc wave hit and I thought "ok. I'm gonna get something that'll make me wanna play again". I was wrong. I finished the second wave in a few hours and found as underwhelming as had been my experience thus far. The dlc feels like it should have been part of the original game since it lacks any wow factor or that "I'd pay extra for that" feeling. Vet your games. Make developers earn your $$$.
