I really like fire emblem awaking. The music was awesome, the story was fantastic and the gameplay was really fun, I could probably spend hours playing this game. I think that this may be my favorite nindtendo game so far. Would have given it a 9.8 if I could.

Warning: Spoilers
FE:A has a compelling story, with so many well-written characters. Each of them has a unique, distinct personality that you can't help but love (even the weird ones). Being something of a hopeless romantic, my favourite part of the game has to be the support options, which play a bigger role than you might think.
Given that the children who come from the future bear a distinct resemblance (Hair colour, occasionally class) to whomever you marry their mother (or father, in Female!Morgan's case) to, not to mention stats, it's something to pay attention to, even if you don't like the quirky character dialogue.
That said, the battles themselves are also quite challenging. Between the weapon triangle, winged units' vulnerability to archers, weapon lifespan, and reinforcements that never stop coming, it's a task all its own to keep your units in one piece, let alone complete the battle objective.
Supports and story aside, I also enjoy the wireless functions - spot-pass battles, fighting against teams from previous games, I live for it. It's a nice bit of nostalgia to fight alongside characters like Marth, Roy, Hector, etc...
Visually, the game looks better than anything I would have expected from a hand-held console (even if it is kind of hilarious that the characters don't have feet outside of the cinematic cutscenes), and the cutscenes are glorious in 3D, and 10/10 voice acting from all involved.
All in all, definitely one of my favorite games of all time. I would definitely recommend it if you're into strategy games, or even just for the story itself.

sorry my review is full of dislike

I dislike this version of Fire Emblem gameplay where it feels like I am just using doom sticks to get through it. I'm playing it on hard and I am sorted to use the nosferatu tomb just to get through it. It gets boring.
And the worst part is the first half of the game is fine. I kind of like it but after the Conqueror appear the game becoming never ending nightmare of enemy with to high stats , so after a while i just have to use the biggest units to get through it and that's not fun.
And the level design is just so boring its mostly. Just giant cubes of grass and nothing else. Just big rooms and big stuff and I just want some Unique environment some awesome places some actual Tactics in the map.
And the story is kind of just there I dislike how they use their original Fire Emblem world and just like hey it's a thousand years later. Hey you remember Fire Emblem it is cool right all the places on the map and the main character look like Mark and his daughter looked like Mark it's just like oh my god just make something new I'm happy this game make sure the franchise wouldn't die, but this is just so sad to play.
And the story is just kind of there. It's hard to appreciate it. All. It feels like it wants to be kind of hey interesting stuff is happening hey you didn't expect that twist but for me personally just filled mediocre born a plate Fire Emblem story with time travel and Marriage so at least you can make the people Bear children .
But the visual and music site is awesome and the music god damn it it's just so good I want to listen to it in my free time all the time because it's just so harmonizing and good to listen to
My biggest problem with the gameplay is that it's very stats driven. I can't just pull a character out and use them to do something interesting. It's just feel sad to have all of these characters but because of the enemies that's so high. I have to go a specific way to Force myself through the game.
It's really hard to appreciate it. I just played Fire Emblem path of radiant and radian Dawn some of my favorite Fire Emblem games and now going back to this game with this story and this annoying gameplay. God. I am so sad.
