![]() ![]() Battle movement and strategy revolves around the same staples the series has since the beginning, with all control being done turn-based around a huge grid. Corrupt government, group of rebels, you with a controller… go. Basically if you just read the preceding paragraph, you're already good to go. And while this is a 100% sequel to the last game, players that haven't had a chance to pick up Path of Radiance for GameCube won't be left in the dust, as you'll get tons of backstory, character reintroduction, and an all new story. Taking control of a group called the Dawn Brigade - a medieval Rebel Alliance, if you will - players will scour the countryside in search for allies, aiming to take down the corrupt leadership that has - and continues - to plague Daein. As an odd move for Radiant Dawn, players are actually assuming the role of members of Daein, previously the enemy in Path of Radiance. After the defeat of Mad King Ashnard three years ago, the country of Daein is now falling to pieces, as a corrupt government strives to keep control over a public body that is now thrown into chaos. Players will eventually take control of nearly every character from the last game, work within the same world, but now see a totally different side of the story. Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn is a direct sequel to last generation's Path of Radiance on GameCube. In fact, chances are if you already know you want this game before reading our review, as Fire Emblem hits a very specific, mature, traditional crowd. The downside to that? Fire Emblem inherently feels like a GameCube title, with nearly identical interface, style, graphics, audio (or lack of), pacing, and general appearance, so while the game may come in a white box and burned onto a DVD, it's about as far from a traditional Wii experience as you can get. It is what it is, and Fire Emblem plays identical to its GameCube counterpart, who in turn still drew inspiration from the very beginning nearly two decades ago. There's no Mii integration, no online, no waggle, and no IR aiming. He also has a steal-able vulnerary.What you won't get with Fire Emblem, however, is any motion control or IR experience. Unless one does not wish to, they can easily let a unit such as Sothe soak up the weapon uses (possibly training Micaiah and Laura at the same time using a Sacrifice-Heal chain), then rain smaller hits upon him and watch him regain HP slowly. Note the two archers flanking the boss will not move, so defeat them quickly, then tear through the mages with units of your choice and use Sothe to free the remaining prisoners.įinally, the reason one should forego the 500/250 extra BEXP in this chapter: the boss is immensely easy to abuse. The next Armor Axe guarding the cell will not move, but be wary of a Longbowman to the right of him. ![]() Next, slowly defeat enemies across the stairwell and bridge, and after clearing all enemies, send Sothe or a Door Key holder to open the two doors at their left, netting them a good amount of BEXP. Send two units all the way north, (Edward preferably as one, as there are primarily axe-users) and defeat the northern-most enemies guarding the doorway. ![]() Next, one can begin to slowly move upward. After turn 7, at turn 9, the reinforcements will charge you, so take them out. At turn 7, if one rushed, one can easily be harmed by a hammer-and-anvil strategy, so fight a decently defensive battle, unless using promoted units (which is not recommended, though, if one wishes to, they can rush through the level, but gain minimal EXP due to the general nature of pre-promotes). On Normal and up, however, it's recommended to wait until the storm dies down. On Easy mode, one can easily blitzkrieg through the map with all their units. On turn 2, Tormod, Vika, and Muarim will appear at the lower-right let them defeat the enemies in their vicinity, then talk to Sothe. The two units above you and right of you will charge you immediately, so use your magic users or any competent unit against them, and use Volug only if overwhelmed (due to his massive EXP stealing).
