During its online streaming broadcast, called Nintendo Direct, the publisher detailed more info about the Intelligent Systems fantasy game. It will continue the long legacy of the strategy role-playing franchise, which centers on military tactics, epic stories, and permanent death for characters.
Intelligent Systems debuted the Fire Emblem series in the early ’90s and produced many sequels. The studio’s other strategy game, Advance Wars, features similar gameplay but avoids most of Fire Emblem’s role-playing elements.
Many critics and gamers place both Advance Wars and Fire Emblem among the finest in the turn-based strategy genre.
Fire Emblem: Awakening will retail for $39.99.
