#24 Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
guessed by Jpcc86
platform Wii
release year 2007
developer/publisher Intelligent Systems/Nintendo
genre turn based tactics
links Wikipedia
past years 2019: #23, 2018: #19, 2017: #19

Radiant Dawn was my first contact with the Fire Emblem series. And it did quite impress me. It was challenging but fair, was nice on the eyes and had a compelling story with interesting characters. I went on to play more Fire Emblem titles, as turn-based tactics happens to be a genre I like very much (as more entries in my TOP 50 prove). But as this was the first contact, it left an impression and I still think this is a great title in the series.

This game was the direct sequel to the Gamecube entry Path of Radiance and followed the events of that game. I really do like a lot of the tactical options, like height or the ability to shapeshift of some units. The game is quite hard, it is needed to keep the characters you use leveled.

No.

Not my best hint, to be honest, but I didn't know what to say. Guess someone will get it eventually anyway.
