Fire Emblem: Awakening

Hi.

Is this a hard game to get into if you never really played these types of games?

Not really. There are tutorials for each new feature that comes along and its not as if there are masses of menus and options to navigate.

RottenFox

The bottom screen is constantly filling/updating with new tutorial pages, so you won't ever get lost.
You can always swap out members, and check inventorys, even change weapons mid fight(when they break).

Normal/Classic mode is where it's at.
Just don't pick Lunatic mode, unless you have practised/mastered normal..

Ive just ordered it. Heard loads of good things about this game.

Might want to invest in a spare sock, or some duck tape for your mouth, as in a hard fight, when characters start dying, and you lose one, the air may turn blue.

The don't come back on Classic mode, when they're dead, they're dead.

The sock/duck tape over mouth will prevent this somewhat.  

Think addy is having a memorial service for his Archer later..

I could of punched myself in the face mate. I totally forgot about one enemies range and the fact he had a X2 stat on his sword. Absolutely destroyed him. Very gutted. Lol

You can also turn off the animations, or some of them depending on how you want to play it/see it.
So it can be like a turn based quickie..instead of the swooshing screen and some battle animations.

Saves battery too, as Fire Emblem will eat your battery up in a just over a couple of hours.

One thing I might of turned on or I'm not so sure are the battle previews that tell you how much health each will be left with depending on what weapon used. When I first started playing this that screen wasn't there and then after playing the dlc last night its reappeared and I'm not sure if I've activated this myself?

I've lost about 3 characters but have a good core squad now.  I'm just trying to level up a couple of my weaker ones now in the champions of lore 1.  I just hold them back after doing most of the damage with my better character(s) and then send then in to finish off for XP with do damage back.  You have to be very careful to keep them protected by your stronger units though.
