Nintendo Fire Emblem Awakening Specification

Fire Emblem Awakening is a tactical role-playing game developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS. Released in 2012, the game is set in a fantasy world where players take on the role of a customizable avatar, who aids Prince Chrom and the Shepherds in their quest to combat the resurrected dragon Grima. The game features a grid-based battlefield where strategic positioning and character selection are crucial for victory. It introduces a dual support system that enhances character relationships, allowing units to pair up and support each other in combat for improved stats and abilities.

The game offers both Casual and Classic modes, with Casual allowing fallen units to return post-battle, while Classic mode adheres to the series' traditional permadeath feature, adding significant weight to player decisions. Players can progress through the main storyline while engaging in side missions, each offering unique rewards and character development opportunities. The character leveling system allows for class changes and skill acquisition, providing depth and customization to unit growth.

Fire Emblem Awakening takes advantage of the Nintendo 3DS hardware with 3D-enhanced graphics and an intuitive touchscreen interface for managing inventory, viewing maps, and issuing commands. The StreetPass feature allows players to engage with others by exchanging team data and battling against friends. With its engaging narrative, character-driven gameplay, and strategic depth, Fire Emblem Awakening revitalized the series, appealing to both long-time fans and newcomers. Its success is attributed to its balance of accessibility and challenge, as well as its rich character interactions and branching storylines, making it a standout title in the Fire Emblem franchise.
