Fire Emblem: Apocalypse is a WIP rom hack of FE8, with a focus on character-driven narrative and a post-apocalyptic setting. Follow two separate parties who will eventually come together to reach the safe haven - the last place on the continent free of monsters.
Screenshots: Awaiting permissions to upload - coming soon!
Planned Features:
-Monster enemies! 90% of enemies will be monsters, with some custom monster classes added in.
-Narrative choices that may result in exclusive items, recruits, and more.
-Infinite weapon durability + ALL weapons are PRFs. The goal is for each unit to have a unique feel and niche. Because of this, new weapons will be relatively rare but extremely useful.
-Each unit has a custom class, a personal skill, and gains an additional skill upon promotion.
-Two parties through chapters 1-9. They merge together during chapter 10.
-Around 20 units planned. This smaller group allows for each character to be consistently involved in the main plot, and puts an emphasis on the character-driven narrative.
A demo patch is planned to release when the first two chapters are complete and polished. The goal is to release this by the end of the year.
Want to help?
I’m currently working on this by myself. I’m honestly not the best with balancing or unit placement, so even if you don’t know how to hack at all I’d love someone to bounce ideas off of or crunch numbers with. In addition, if anyone wants to help with the following things feel free to reply or dm me! I’d be happy to give some creative freedom, you can help design units/chapters as well if you’d like.

About Me
This is my first post on FEUniverse! I’ve been a long time lurker on here, and Serenes Forest before this existed. I’ve been playing rom hacks since The Last Promise days. I attempted to make a hack long ago with Nightmare, but never got far. I would love feedback of any kind!
