Highly recommend you experience the story. Very worth the read.
I don’t like design in chapter 3 (or 4). You suppose to meat with green unit, but after you do that chapter continues and you have no turn, enemies attack. In worst case scenario you can die there easily. Game doesn’t worn you that the first objective is not final, so entire strategy can fall apart. There’s barely room to breathe in those chapters and they start hard. Elfire in tutorial, promoted units from the start. No time to know the characters, because each chapter has different party, pretty chaotic, and you are forced to rush in each chapter, something I hate most in FE games if they tell me how to play ![]()
It doesn’t mean the game is bad. Character design is amazing, story seems okay, but vibe reminds me FE10, which for me is the worst one since FE6. Unnecessarily difficult and split armies are not fun to me. So that’s why I can’t play more than one chapter per session, it’s too tiring, but it’s good, just tiring. It’s like Dark Souls 2 in FE romhacks world. Good game, but exhausting experience. I had to quit after ch5, because 15 turns is way too fast to kill boss, I barely even reach him by turn 15, I hate rush maps and I refuse to participate in this shitshow, I play on normal, it should be at least 20 turns, especially that there’s arena here. On hard, sure, 15 might be okay, but normal in this game is way, way, way too difficult to enjoy it. It has also bug: Radahn is supposed to get bonus move after attacking, but he doesn’t have additional move after attack, sometimes he does, sometimes he can even attack twice in a row, but it’s not consistent and hard to tell where this skill actually triggers.
Radahn supposed to finish off the enemy to activate his gale force bow and move again .. not just attacking .. didn’t tutorial give you 3 promoted units in lower corner of the map..??
“the homecoming” romhack have 8 turn rush map with 3 bosses ..
As someone who’s recently played through both Dark Amulet and Shadow of Dawn, I feel like my mind has been turned to mush when it comes to other romhacks for a while. Truly a spectacular experience, marred only for the fact that I have to wait for Tyranny of Light now lol
