And the gameplay as a whole is very GBA Fire Emblem so it’s fun.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
Weird controls that aren't rebindable in current year (z and c are weird hotkeys for accept and cancel, for some reason arrow keys on the main map switches the game to controller inputs, mouse right click isn't bound to opening the stats screen instead of behaving like pressing C does, WASD moves camera instead of cursor for some reason?)
