I just figured that the few villagers that remained might have managed to escape that slaughter… But that ending just makes me realizes that I have wasted a lot of effort for nothing.
The stats here are extremely low, none of the stats of my party went above 10 outside of HP, in the case of HP it never went over 20, another thing that difference this game from other Fire emblem is that each character has a main weapon with infinite uses , and over the course of the game you gain new weapons with limited use (Tho more than enough to use them for the rest of the game), similar to modern Fire emblem game each character has a personal skill the difference them from the rest of the party.
Just so you have an idea of how low the stats of this game are the protagonist here (Which is arguably the best character of this game combat wise , I like him in the story too) has this stats on level 4, as a point of comparison this is Ephraim (Protagonist of Fire emblem 8) at the same level, you can see his stats are higher.
Normally when people play JRPG they think higher numbers is equal to a better game, but I love that this game takes a different approach, with extremely low numbers, the difficulty here is excellent in my opinion , I have play every Fire Emblem game from 4 to 11, and some rom hacks, and the difficulty here felt perfect never too easy but never too hard either, each chapter feels unique and challenging but never overwhelming (outside of the last level but that was intentional).
I love when short games add great replay value, so you can enjoy it for awhile and beat it multiple times, this game adds 2 system to incentivize replay , the first is a built in achievement system with 50 different achievements, and the second is alternative modes that changes how the game is played like reverse recruitment which reverse the order of character you get, I love this type of replay value, because it give perfect excuses to replay the game again, but it doesn’t feel like you are missing something important if you chose to ignore it.
For me one of the few flaws this game has is the fact that if you chose to play this game with a controller you can change the control scheme , Because the left analogue is your method no navigate the menus and move character which I don’t like in a grid base game like fire emblem, so I stick with keyboard in this game.
Story
As you can imagine from a 5 chapter game it’s not some big story with multiple characters , but it’s very heart breaking, the story is about a group of children and their professor trying to escape from a city that’s currently under the invasion of enemy army, I am not going to say more than that because of spoiler but as you can imagine, it’s not sun shine and rainbows, pretty much the opposite, another feature of this story is flashbacks, as you do certain thing in a chapter you can gain sort cuteness exploring the background of the characters, giving glimpses of their past.
Visual and music
The visuals here are straight up GBA FE with some slightly changed UI elements, if you like it (Which most gamers do) you appreciate how this game looks, because this game is a Fan game, not a rom hack, the music here isn’t constrained to be GBA music, which is great, I am not sure where the music of this game comes from, I am guessing it all original because I couldn’t find them on YT, the music here is pretty good, it fits the games perfect and nice to listen.

I guess you have a point there, but that doesn’t make the ending any easier to accept. In the end I did enjoy the game, but I don’t see myself ever replaying it in the future. Whats the point of replaying the game if it will always have that bitter ending?
Little late, but the trailer video is up and we’ve officially got more clicks than we did on July 12th!
Big thanks to anyone who’s checked out the project! I hope you enjoyed it.

I’m sure this project has enough praises, so I’m gonna be critical instead:
Ah heck, from the graphics, the music, the writing and the custom ui everywhere, this project is BEAUTIFULLY made! And what steals the show for me is how animated the cutscenes are. This really is a fun and cinematic experience.
You done messed up, Eric. You raised the bar for the future projects way too high. Now I expect next project to take 2 development years for each chapter
