[FE8] Iron Emblem: Gaiden [COMPLETE]

I don’t have much to say but this may be my favorite hackrom in a long while, may as well be my favorite hackrom ever lol. I love the 20 stat caps, as it made the stat gaps be not so insurmountable. All the classes I tried were fun, all the QoLs like accelerating animation and such were very nice, the Overview option was a godsend, etc.

The final map was actually a tad boring to me since I don’t think the concept of an endless Last Stand with no objective works in a Fire Emblem game :sob: but other than that this gaiden game was just gas gas gas and I’m glad I found it, I love it so much.

I only know of this game and the original Iron Emblem so far but I really love the concept of generic malleable units you can headcanon into anything, and the story of this hack itself was also very cool and endearing, I’m actually replaying it right now to understand it all better. I hope there are more Iron Emblem-like hackroms in the future, because this one was just really awesome. 11/10 :folded_hands:
