Released in conjunction with Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest, Birthright offers gamers classic turn-based strategy action, multiplayer modes, and amiibo support. The story finds players choosing the path of peace as a kidnapped royal who returns home to Hoshido. Users create their own character, and then form a small army to fight against the Kingdom of Nohr on gridded maps. Gamers must strategically deploy several different kinds of soldiers, including Ninjas, Diviners, and Oni Savages, all while taking into account class, support levels, and a rock-paper-scissors weapons system.
Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright was designed to be the more accessible of the two releases, with players earning plenty of gold and experience points, while Conquest provides fewer resources and was designed to be more challenging and complex. Experience points can be used to wield stronger weapons and upgrade to higher classes, while pairing characters can lead to stronger bonds, more conversation options, and even romance. The game offers several difficulty levels, including the new Phoenix level that returns fallen units to the combat zone on their next turn, and the new My Castle feature lets gamers build a home base from which they can shop for new gear, train, and strengthen relationships. Birthright also offers StreetPass and amiibo support, as well as traditional multiplayer modes.
