![]() Instead, you’re limited to doing the campaign missions, castle invasions, and the occasional challenge battle or sidequest. In other words, you can’t build up an unstoppable force of heavy hitters through scouting out battles on the map as you can in Birthright. While the essential systems are the same in both games – the castle, battles, marriage – decisions bear more weight in Conquest, since you can’t grind experience points. It’s a nerve-wracking experience (especially when you lose characters), but surviving each map is its own kind of thrill and made me feel like a battle-hardened genius. It isn’t necessarily better than the combat in its companion title, but it provides a different flavor of challenge, forcing you into corners and expecting you to strategize your way out. Where Birthright offers a challenging experience that can be overcome by anyone with patience, Conquest is more vicious. ![]() It twists the knife by making its campaign more difficult (and more complex) than Birthright’s straightforward quest.īoth Conquest and Birthright make it fun to tell your own story through your decisions in battle, but the games are rewarding in different ways (for more specifics about how the basic mechanic’s function, read our review of Birthright). Where Birthright forces players to answer tough questions while making tragic sacrifices for the good of a nation, Conquest is not merely content with philosophical complications. It’s a dark fantasy epic filled with political intrigue that had me questioning who, and what, I was fighting for all the way through the campaign. Instead of your hero siding with the noble nation of Hoshido, you fight alongside the warriors of Nohr. Fire Emblem makes these moments hit even harder because the soldiers you command are not just nameless units marching across a field but are instead people with well-rounded personalities, capable of falling in love with one another, becoming your best friend, or dying a horrible death because you made the wrong play.Ĭonquest tells an alternate version of the story seen in Fire Emblem Fates’ other installment, Birthright. It thrives most when it’s putting players in difficult positions, forcing them to fight off a seemingly insurmountable force with only a ragtag group of soldiers. It’s not cruel for the sake of being cruel it expects greatness from its players. Whose side will you choose? Torn between two families, you're an heir of Hoshido, raised by Nohrian royals.Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest is not a kind game. If you walk the path of Conquest, you must fight to change your misguided kingdom from within. You may also choose the path of Birthright, in which you'll battle the corrupted king of Nohr beside a family of strangers.
