Welcome. This is a 1-Chapter Pokemon Mystery Dungeon x Fire Emblem crossover hack. It was originally made for my girlfriend’s 21st birthday, but I figured I should upload it here too, for others to play. Feel free to give feedback and let me know if I missed any credit attribution.
Story:
There is a crisis brewing in Askr. The Time Gear, a legendary artifact that regulates the flow of time, has been stolen. In order to save their world, the Summoner and their chosen companions venture into the mysterious Temporal Rift. There, two foreign forces clash to prevent another dark future from rising again…
Features:
A decently challenging puzzle map to find hidden switches to unlock the throne room door.
References to Pokemon Mystery Dungeon with items, characters, enemies, and more.
Large roster of characters to traverse the Temporal Rift with.
I like Mystery Dungeon, I saw Jugdral characters in the thumbnail, so I decided to give the chapter a shot.
I won’t comment on the story, though it did feel off to see characters using unedited canon FE character portraits without actually being them.
The gameplay itself was more difficult than I was anticipating. When I had a unit step into a monster house, I got ambushed by about twenty enemies and I had to reset. When Grovyle spawned, the unit I needed to talk to him was on the other end of the map (I had moved her to the northern group as I felt it needed more healers when I arbitrarily split the starting units): this resulted in me using warp and rescue a bunch to get that unit to the correct side of the map without too much loss.
Overall the winning run took me 18 turns to finish in about two and a half hours real time, which started to wear me down, and the moving siege tome enemies were especially mean. I let several units die towards the end.
I did appreciate the nods to Explorers, at least: I knew better than to provoke Kecleon and I do like the usage of PMD music where appropriate.
Hey! Glad to hear you played the chapter. I probably should’ve clarified that since this was a hack for my girlfriend, I asked some of our friends for unit submissions. All of them happened to have portraits of existing FE characters (Besides Dongus, who is obviously a Gastrodon). The actual FE characters that appeared were my girlfriend’s favorite Heroes units–this is based in Askr, after all.
I don’t remember having any moving siege tome enemies though. I’m pretty sure I made all the Shadow Ball Drifblims stationary. I’ll check a little later. Thanks for the feedback!
