    GameSpot was able to get a taste of what Fire Emblem Echoes has to offer at PAX East this weekend. In a new article, the site shares additional details and screenshots. Find the new content rounded up below.

    – Rather than moving directly from mission to mission, a world map allows you to have some freedom in choosing what you do next
    – Once again, dungeons are in the game
    – Explore dungeons in 3D with a third-person camera
    – Dungeons have destroyable objects and treasure chests with items and money to find
    – Encounter enemies in dungeons as well
    – Engaging one takes you into a standard Fire Emblem battle
    = It’s almost like a mini mission, as you still have access to your squad and face multiple enemies, rather than simply taking part in a one-on-one fight
    – Gain an edge by attacking the foe in the dungeon before combat begins, reducing their health to start the battle, – Enemies can do the same to you
    – Echoes follows a pair of “dueling” protagonists that you’ll swap between
    – Celica and Alm each set out to defend their country, but they take different approaches to doing so
    – Swap back and forth between the two routinely
    – Can spend longer stretches of time playing as one before jumping into the other’s story
    – First Fire Emblem game to feature full voice acting (some very minor characters aside)
    – Archers can now counter-attack from a single tile away
    – Mages now expend a portion of their health in order to cast spells
    – Weapon durability seems to be absent
    – No support system during battles
    – No traditional weapon triangle
    – There are still ways to gain an advantage in battles
