20 Most Underrated Video Games Of 2016

13. Fire Emblem: Fates

If you like your combat and strategy turn-based, look no further than the Fire Emblem series.

Whereas the home console market has access to the mighty genre king, XCOM 2, the 3DS exclusive Fire Emblem takes the idea of strategic turn-based gameplay and injects it with a story more reminiscent of a Saturday morning anime.

It all helps fuel the stakes of each battle, as whilst every step of a bout matters in gameplay terms, backing that with a cast of characters you'd like to see make it out alive makes every encounter stupidly intense. Fates actually released as two separate stories depending on which warring faction you wanted to side with, reconciling for a concluding chapter named Revelations that ties everything back together.

All of this results in a TON of content if you want the full Fates experience - perfect for playing in short chunks, - especially if you can free up the time on a regular basis.
