An innovative take on GBA Fire Emblem where each move matters. Unfortunately at 24 (+4 optional) chapters, the puzzle-like essence of the hack loses its charm around the middle of the game, as the sense of progression comes to a halt due to inflated growths and stats, and the overall lack of variety in tools.
This hack also does not feature character skills, making the overly big pool of characters not feel distinct from one another.

This hack is certainly something. My problem with a lot of hacks is that they play really similar to each other. The amount of times where it is just Sacred Stones 2, with the same kind of Skill sets and not so interesting unit variety.
I will tell you, this hack plays NOTHING like any FE game or hack. At first glance you can already tell that the growths are extremely high in this hack, but would you believe me that Weapons are the most important thing? Even with the growths nearing 80+ or even above 100%, you can complete this game on 0% growths. This game just rewards good plays because it gives you so many useful units, REALLY good tools (Galeforce Swordmasters? Two mounted dancers?)
Intended difficulty is Lunatic Reverse, so the game is made with challenge in mind. Map design is smart with some really good music choices as well. One of the very few FE games that is Player Phase focused as well. Once again, the game gives you so many amazing tools that mostly rewards you if you play your own turn right.
I don't want to go too much in the story other that it is really well crafted. Only one route is finished for now and support conversations still have yet to be added. Once again, I really recommend it if you like the series in general. The game is just so good and I am already replaying it again.
