Following the debonair swashbuckler, Jack of Hearts and his mercenary band, The Troupe, as they become entangled in their homeland of Eqlizhia’s cutthroat succession crisis, Hearts That Bleed examines what it means to do what is right when your job is to do as your told. Developed by a small team of passionate individuals, Hearts That Bleed is a 7 chapter long campaign which combines tightly designed gameplay, lovable characters and gorgeous art with an entirely original soundtrack to deliver a (hopefully) unforgettable Fire Emblem experience.
Features
- A 7 chapter campaign with 14 playable characters, all of whom fill unique and necessary roles.
- Interludes in between chapters to flesh out characters and setting utilizing free movement.
- Tightly designed maps and gameplay centered around fixed growths, limited experience and a strained economy.
- All original portraits, CGs, soundtrack and story.
- More powerful weapon triangle combining fates-like weapon rank bonuses and FE4 avoid/damage modifiers.
- A host of unique weapons and items that broaden the already vast pool of options for each and every playable unit.
- Any unit’s death triggers a game over but by selecting “resume” on the main menu the player is brought back a turn so they can quickly retry the scenario without eliminating the complexity of the map’s challenges.
- Infinite durability weapons with unique benefits and downsides to consider when equipping your army.
- Complex boss fights that combine weapons, items, and engage style revival stones or “life gems” with an array of special effects to create unique challenges at the end of each map.
Known Issues
- When a character accesses the supply but doesn’t take or give any items the game will freeze. If this happens to you reset your emulator and select resume on the main menu to go back to the start of the turn.
