What if you could pick which maps you want to play and in what order?
Here’s the big hook: You have access to a hub where you can pick what map to play next. Each map will come with its own unique units, item rewards, etc. However, you have limited time! After getting to play only a few maps, you’ll be sent to a mandatory, main story map, and then it’s back to the hub. You physycally won’t be able to see all the maps and units in one, or even two runs, so the game is extremely replayable! Plus you can always try tackling them in different orders.
Oh yeah also On the Edge was a spinoff prequel of this. You may recognize some faces, but this is a more standard, “serious” hack, and you don’t need to have played On the Edge at all to play this. This project has been on the works since 2020 and was conceived long before OtE was a thing.

Plot
A generation ago, a band of noble heroes, carrying holy blood and legendary weapons, fought against the scheming Mordred, but were swiftly crushed. The Grand Empire of Avalon now stretches across the globe, ruling with iron hand across its many subjugated nations. However, the children of those fallen heroes have started a Liberation Army and are marching across the continent.
Yeah this story isn’t about those guys. This is about the ragtag bunch of misfits who are going to need to save their city on their own before shit hits the fan and the city burns. The clock is ticking.
Features
- A hub where you have access to what maps to play. Playing specific maps unlocks higher level maps, and comes with it’s own recruitables and rewards.
- A time sensitive plot that will limit how many maps you can play before you need to play a main story, forced map. Pick wisely as you won’t be able to play all optional maps on a single run.
- A condensed, fast game progression, so you can experience full training arcs in a short hack.
- A cast where everyone has at least a skill or a personal weapon.
- Fully custom portraits for everyone, including generics and one time bosses (disclaimer: a few f2us remain but will get changed very soon). New portraits on promotion are WIP, for now the prologue squad has them.
- Optional game modifiers you can completely change every map!
- A thief lord.
- A jagen with the highest growths of the hack who still falls off.
- A big cast of villains to love and hate.
- Fe4 Status Staff accuracy, meaning you have 100 hit on enemies with less res than your magic and 0 hit if they have more.
- Some silliness anyway.
- A (yet to be implemented) revolutionary support system that, among other things, will have you play a miniature paralogue in each support line to immerse yourself in the characters.
Current state of affairs
The hack is currently WIP. Some of the most recent maps and interlude scenes are still missing some dialogue, but the first half of the game should be fully written, pending revision. Some other relatively minor things like the support system haven’t been worked on yet. Scenes written since the previous patch have, for the most part, not been tested. Still missing music in many scenes. A single run, with current level of completion should probably have 9 maps of gameplay. My thanks to anyone who plays WIP versions and reports their experience!
