Player's Review
SRPG by Intelligent System.
OFFICIALLY released in English many years later!
Now NOT on the eShop as of April 1, 2021.
Follow Prince Marth as he travels around the world to stop a conquering nation and get a really cool sword to beat up a lizard. Along the way, he recruits many many MANY people.
Gameplay is the usual SRPG thing: choose a unit, approach enemy, attack, win bacon. Oh, and care has to be taken: if a unit dies, they are dead permanently. Unlike modern FE games, this game is on the simpler side: simple formulas, no weapon ranks to worry about (though, there is weapon LEVEL but it is a non-issue), and no weapon triangle. Added to the official release are a few quality of life things: bookmark (essentially savestates) and Turn Rewind (also essentially savestates. Think rewind mechanic from Echoes and Three Houses, but not limited), and speeding the game up.
This longplay marches through the game while opening many chesticles and recruiting everyone...but not everyone is used because some characters are just plain better than others, Animation is on for EVERYTHING. This thing would be MUCH shorter if I turned off animations, but...longplay. :3 There's some Secret Shop shenanigans on Chapter 18, 21, and 24, so there's a bit of filler there. 18 has Thoron, which is kinda OP (well, magic overall is good), and 21 and 24 has stat increasing items (only powered up Marth, Tiki, and Caeda, I would be there all day if powering others). I'd be lying if I said I didn't use the Turn Rewind because boneheaded moves were done. Speaking of, there's plenty of those. There may be a Turn Rewind I didn't edit out. It's hard finding those.
