Fire Emblem

Painfully easy and slow paced game. Almost every map can be done by simply creeping slowly forward, drawing out one enemy at a time and swarming it. The more significant decision making is in how you manage your team. When it comes to this, the game does almost everything I hate in RPGs. Good decisions cannot be made without knowledge of what happens in the future and which characters have better stat growths than the others. Often I found myself having invested resources into characters who too quickly reached the level cap, thus causing any additional experience they get to go to waste, or being given new characters who are strictly superior to preexisting ones, meaning anything invested in the now obsolete character was also wasted. Of course the game is so easy that these optimizations are irrelevant, but I've never played the hard mode so it's possible that they become necessary (and what a torment that must be).

As an aside, the menus in the game are almost indescribably bad. Just far more strangely constructed and difficult to navigate than a simple menu has any reason to be. I can't even wrap my head around it.
