“Long ago, Medeus, king of the dragonkin, conquered the continent of Akaneia, beginning an age of fear and despair for all its people. That tyranny was broken, however, thanks to a miracle. A young man hailing from the Altea region appeared with a divine blade in hand. He stood against the Shadow Dragon, and struck him down. For some time after, the land enjoyed an age of peace.”
“However, after a century’s passing, the Shadow Dragon returned. He forged an alliance with a fiendish sorcerer who sought to rule the world, and their combines might topple kingdom upon unsuspecting kingdom. Again, darkness threatened to engulf the continent. It fell upon the king of Altea, sole descendant of the dragon-slayer hero, to sally forth with the divine blade and fulfill his blood destiny.”
or so they say
Anyway, if you read all of that, you already know where this is going (or maybe it was obvious from the image). Lost Kingdom is intended to be a retelling of Marth’s story, with the inclusion of BSFE as well (in the future) using the Tactile engine.
As of now, up to chapter 5 is complete, all chapters have a fully developed hard mode as well.
FAQ
Q: Are Marth and Roy in this game?
A: … Technically yes.
Q: Do I still have to kill off units to get the gaidens?
A: All gaidens are obtainable through normal gameplay, as opposed to safety nets for newer/not as versed players
Q: I think I saw Norne, how do I recruit her?
A: You’ll have to give up on recruiting the other mediocre archer, unfortunately.
Q: There’s a 1-3x? I don’t remember seeing that before.
A: The chapters follow FE3’s chapter progression for the most part, so chapters that were cut from it, like FE1’s Chapter 4, have been re-introduced as gaidens. Refer to an earlier question on how to obtain those.
Q: Wtf Lena’s Warp Staff and Merric’s Excalibur are missing!!!
A: Both of these weapons are extremely powerful, and entirely unnecessary for when they’re given to the player. Both still exist and will be obtained at a later date.
Q: What’s with the portraits?
A: Nearly every one is a placeholder. I am not a very good facespriter, so I just used something that vaguely reminded me of each unit’s normal look. If you have contributions in this area, they are greatly appreciated?
Q: So… Fractured Realms?
A: Still in hiatus but currently being worked on.
Notable changes:
Marth promotes (WHAT NO!! YOU CAN’T)
