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